Rich Park is one of those places that immediately feels huge the moment you pull in, and it just…read morekeeps going as you drive further in. This is Mocksville's full-service community park with multiple ball fields, long stretches of walkways and a whole lineup of reservable picnic pavilions complete with grills. Everything is spread out enough that even on a busy day, it probably doesn't feel crowded and the restrooms are easy to find and well placed for families bouncing between fields and picnic areas. Driving through, you'll hit a series of speed bumps that definitely keep you moving slow, but honestly that's a good thing with all the kids and teams running around. It's the kind of park where you could spend an entire afternoon without running out of things to do, whether you're here for a game, a cookout, or just a long walk under the trees. It's big, it's useful, and it's exactly what a community park should be. [Review 601 of 2026 - 4689 in North Carolina - 25782 overall]

This is probably the nicest, cleanest, most well designed park we've been to in over ten years of…read morebaseball tournaments with our sons. It had plenty of parking, large, well groomed fields, lots of shade trees for spectators, paved paths between fields, clean bathrooms (with toilet paper!), and a well staffed and stoked snack bar (even selling bags of ice!). We constantly saw maintenance people riding golf carts, emptying trash cans and cleaning up, and we really appreciated spending three days at a park this nice. We didn't use any of the other parts of the park, but saw golf and frisbee courses, zip lining and playgrounds. Friends told us there is also a water park on a river nearby. Compared to some places we've been with overflowing Porta-Potties, ragged fields and no snack bar or shade, this one was a delight and we hope to come back again soon.

The skate park is located inside the larger Stanford Park but deserving a business of its own, this is a big space with all sorts of loops and rails and open space for the skateboarders to do their thing.

As for the rest of the park, there are baseball and soccer fields, playgrounds, and more. I was focused on the skate park and not the rest of the park.

Tactfully situated in between the baseball and soccer fields, there is every type of hole you can think of. Bradford Park was built to host the world's in 2012. It also has a very nice feature, in that you have the choice to play the full 18 (which will take you a while) or to simply loop around for a quick 9 hole experience. There have been a few changes made to it since it's inception for the better. On a side note, bring some discs you aren't afraid of loosing, as there are plenty of places for them to disappear.

Located off Hwy. 115 between Cornelius and Huntersville, the park encompasses 57 acres and includes two lighted soccer fields and a football field, three lighted tennis courts, two lighted baseball/softball fields, two full-court basketball courts, a running track, a walking/jogging loop, two playground areas and two sheltered picnic areas with public restrooms. Oh, and there is a 9-hole disc golf course as well. An outdoor band shell was erected in 2007. It stands on the north side near the two soccer fields and has hosted everything from concerts to theatrical performances. While the basketball courts are vaguely lit in the evenings, it is enough to shoot around once your eyes adjust. The lights at the tennis courts shut off at 10:30, and many is the time I have been in the middle of playing, with a ball screaming towards me off a serve, when the lights cut out! Its just an excellent place to get your exercise on.

As a graduate of High Point Central High School, I made many visits to the High Point Athletic…read moreComplex as a student and fan of the HPC Black Bison football and soccer teams. Both of my older sisters also went to HPC. One of them was a cheerleader and got injured in a fall during a routine at Simeon Stadium here. I remember my parents and I were eating dinner at the buffet at Quincy's on Westchester Drive when it happened. The High Point Athletic Complex consists of the Ed Price Baseball Field (500-650 seats), eight soccer fields (the biggest one with 600 seats), a track and football field (1,500 seats), a multipurpose practice field, and A.J. Simeon Stadium (10,000-15,000 seats). The latter is home to both the Central and crosstown rival T. Wingate Andrews football teams. The City owns and operates the entire complex, except Simeon Stadium, through its Parks & Rec department. Guilford County Schools owns and operates Simeon Stadium so the football stadium is technically not city property. We made headlines my freshman year at Central because the kicker on our football team was female: Snow Brenner. She went on to play soccer for Duke and is now an orthopedic surgeon. Her younger brother, Wich, was my year (class of 2000) and he was the kicker our senior year when we won the North Carolina 2-A state championship. Central went 15-0 that year (1999). Wich went on to kick for Texas Tech. The year prior to winning the state championship, I recall the disappointing playoff loss we suffered at home to eventual champion Shelby. The year we graduated, the team we beat to win the state championship, Southwest Onslow, won the title. During that time, the PA announcer at Simeon Stadium was Larry Craven. I recognized his voice because he was the news director at 1230 AM WMFR (High Point). Simeon Stadium on Friday nights in the fall was the place to be for high school football. I took one of my cousins from California, who was visiting colleges on the East Coast at the time, to a football game here and she loved it. Parents liked to get tipsy in the parking lot/field too. I'm glad I got to experience it and I still like to tell people how my high school won the state championship in football my senior year. As for HPC soccer games, my friends and I had too much fun, especially with the opposing teams; Lexington City Schools being among them. Shenanigans were had and I'll leave it at that. :) Note: Depending on where you look, the seating capacity numbers for the complex's facilities can vary which is why I have some ranges listed above.
