I've visited years ago while bringing my daughter to the playground. The playground is very modern here. A lovely place for young children. They also have several basketball courts and a nice gazebo picnic area. The Genealogy event was very informative. Staff were very engaged and helpful. Very well organized. It was intriguing to learn about my loved ones and where we come from.

The area was clean, with lots of shaded spots and benches for parents to relax while keeping an eye on the little ones. There were also picnic tables and ample green space, which made it easy to enjoy a snack or quick lunch. Plus, the park had restrooms and drinking fountains nearby , which were a much-needed convenience on our long drive. Overall, Laurel Hills park was a great place to refresh, relax, and let the kids have some fun. Highly recommend it for anyone traveling through the area with young children!

As a beginner pickleball player, I've really enjoyed playing at the Method pickleball courts. There…read moreare six quality courts, with the left half usually set aside for beginner to intermediate players like myself and the right half for more advanced play. It does get busy on weekends, but the queueing system works well--just put your paddle in the rack and wait for your turn. Even if you're solo, it's easy to find open slots and join games, which makes it a great spot to meet other players. The only downside is that refilling your water can be tricky, so make sure to bring a large water bottle. If you get hungry, Neomonde is a great quick option just down the street. Overall, I've found everyone at the courts to be welcoming and inclusive, making it a great environment for newcomers like me.

Aside from the Neighborhood Center which is a separate "business," the park itself contains a picnic shelter, concrete-surface basketball court, four lighted tennis courts, a large field (could be soccer but it's not completely flat) and two sand-surfaced playgrounds. Lots of parking, which is awesome. [Review 11732 overall, 1514 of 2019.]

First time visiting this location. I enjoyed the space. I…read moreexpressed to the front desk that it was my first time using my Triangle membership here and Rodney was more than willing to give me a full tour. I learned a lot. I appreciate the initiative Rodney took to show me around and explain each area to me. I never fully got this at the home location. I love that I can charge my phone on the cardio machines while working out. The cardio area is spacious. The assisted weight area is perfect and I like how there are separate spaces for different workout focus areas (cardio, assisted strength and functional fitness). The indoor pool is perfect for all year enjoyment. I look forward to continuing to go to this location even if it's a few extra minutes out. The service here was fantastic!

This Y is located in the Cameron village area of Raleigh, traffic can get a little thick with NC State nearby. This location was refreshing. I found the facility modern and the staff wonderful. My daughter plays here some Saturday's for her away games. This location features a cute cafe near the entrance. I absolutely loved the vintage piece of artwork made of the basketball court floor hanging in the lobby. This location did not reek of chlorine as you walk in. The basketball staff were extremely professional and welcoming. If I lived in this area, this would be my go to Y.

When they have soccer its a chore to find parking but eventually you do. He loves the park. Write a great review and make it sound like me. Every time my grandson comes to stay with me, one thing is guaranteed we're going to this park. It's become our spot, and honestly, it never disappoints. The playground is perfect for kids. There are plenty of slides, swings, and even a sand area, which my grandson absolutely loves. He could spend hours there and still not be ready to leave. It's one of those places where you can just let them play, explore, and be kids without overthinking it. Now, I will say when there are soccer games going on, parking can be a bit of a challenge. You might have to circle around a little and be patient, but you'll find a spot eventually. And once you do, it's completely worth it. Overall, this park is a win for us every time. My grandson loves it, and seeing how excited he gets to go back? That alone makes it a 5-star place in my book.

I lived off campus, so I always went home straight after my classes and omg when I found out about Carmichael's classes and facilities, I was like "Man, I was missing out the whole time!!". Couple of my friends started going to the gym and they dragged my ass one day and that's how I found about Carmichael's classes. I get bored super quick if I have to workout by myself, but I can take classes over and over as long as there are some people around me. My favorite classes are body pump and cardio dance. Becca and Jenna are my fav teachers and all of teachers are really nice. They motivate you throughout the entire class and I'm telling you, these classes? phew! a great workout! You may think that meh, school classes.. but I think classes that they offer here are the best & most fun classes I've taken in the Triangle by far. Reasonable price for member, lots of classes you can take and I love their facilities(omg you should see their treadmills! you can watch Netflix, do your SNS, watch TV, and so much more!!!). Also, they offer lots of fun events every Friday called Happy Hour! If you have a family member who goes to NCSU, I def recommend you to try them out!

The workers are friendly and helpful, and the facility has a lot to offer. The aquatics center in particular is fantastic, the depth of the pool at it's deepest is 11 ft, and at the shallowest is 4 ft. For members there are times during the week and on the weekend for "kids swim" so that all members of the family can join! The basketball courts were recently redone this past year (2014) so that NC State's team could practice there for a few months, so they are really fantastic to play on. All and all I have had a great experience with this gym, it is very popular among students and almost never too crowded to break a good sweat. Definitely check it out! Even if you're not a member I believe the price for a day-pass is $10 which is pretty reasonable!
