This probably makes the park little used, but open and available for your little ones and they won't get crushed in a crowd. The park also includes a few picnic tables under a shelter to eat lunch with Jr., and plenty of free parking on site. The playground has woodchips instead of sand for a cushion, so the kids don't get sand in their eyes ... a nice feature. This little hidden park is hardby one of the Greenways, and you pass the park when traveling the Greenway. Sort of hard to find, since it is buried in a residential neighborhood, but that's what keeps it a hidden gem. Recommended.

One of the picnic tables is under the shelter, the other four are around the area. There's plenty of parking and the park is set back a bit from the main road which means that there's a little bit less concern about traffic and noise. I sat here for a bit with my phone and watched the rain come down. It's a nice little spot. [Review 11583 overall, 1363 of 2019.]

I paid for the VIP tickets, but the sign was blocked so I didn't notice it at first. After awhile , security notice no one was checking in for VIP THENNN they made an announcement the entrance was open. It was unorganized , too many cooks in the cooking. Once inside , it was a good time. Some would say it was expensive, but honestly what fair/festival is cheap?? Let me know bc I haven't been to one. Overall, it was a very nice event

The park has a number of small tables that are perfect for a picnic or for setting up a chess board. The grass would be ideal for a picnic blanket. There is no playground or restroom facility. There is some parking across the street and wrapped around the block, but it's not perfect. It is still a five star park. [Review 15443 overall, 947 of 2021, number 2990 in North Carolina.]

Multiple play areas, including a covered shelter, and you might get lucky and have a train go by. It was nice to walk to the back of the park area and look out onto a stream. One of the street art place making projects the city sponsored is at the entrance and another is just a couple of blocks away at an entrance to a greenway path. A few swings, plenty of slides, and even some rock climbing knobs to get up to the two tallest slides. Perhaps it was because we were cooped up with the pandemic and this was only the second park we visited, but went with our older daughter and returned the next day with her younger sister too.
