They have a large community building which was open for people to use the restroom. They have two play structures and a swing set, all set atop a squish foamesq material. There is also a basketball court and a large dog park. Parking was easy, it seemed like most people had walked or rode their bike there, they are in the middle of a neighborhood and a Greenway stop. One play structure was designed for kids aged 2-5 and the other was for older kids. My son loved the baby swings! We will definitely head back to this playground again soon.

It is a huge…read morespace and includes a playground, large open field and a baseball fields (there's a additional huge gated open field through the trees heading towards the greenway), a basketball court and posts for a volleyball court. There's a large covered picnic area capable to seat 36-60ppl with 5 tables, 2 grills, $9/hour to rent but no electricity (Mami Nora's is down the street, so you could take your meal to go and eat it outdoors here!) The park includes a neighborhood center with a meeting room large enough to hold 85 people, rentable for $50/hour (which includes warming kitchen, tables and chairs). Overall, it's a good park, it seems to be a popular place to park and eat lunch on weekdays and a safe place to park and utilize the greenway.

Our main goal was to find the five trolls, and I loved how it felt like a little scavenger hunt throughout the park. It was a bit tricky finding them at first, but that actually made it more fun. Thankfully, each troll had nearby parking, which made hopping around way easier. The park itself is super open, green, and peaceful, with plenty of space to explore in between stops. Overall, such a cool first stop on our road trip. Relaxed vibes, interactive experience, and a memorable way to start the journey!

This park is smaller in comparison to the larger Raleigh parks, however, it is clean and features a…read morebaseball field, indoor, and outdoor basketball courts. The Community Center is very well kept and modern. It also features a Teen Zone for teens 13-17. They have activity rooms, a video game room, gym and indoor basketball court. We attended the Teen Hang Out event Friday night and the staff was excellent. Everyone was very welcoming and engaged very well with the teens. My daughter enjoys basketball so she spent a lot of time in the gym doing a small tournament and in the video game room. I appreciate how Raleigh Parks Dept invests in their parks and rec centers. I just wish they had Teen Zones in NorthWest Raleigh. We have to drive 25 minutes in traffic to visit teen zones like Saint Monica, Green Road and Tarboro. It would be fair if Brier Creek or Millbrook had a Teen Zone. Teenagers need a safe space where they can gather and feel supported and appreciated.

Both teams had uniforms, there were a lot of fans, some folks had cookout stuff and folding chairs. It looked quite exciting! Other than that ball game going on, the park has a large picnic shelter located next to the volleyball and tennis courts. There is a concrete-surface basketball court, four lighted tennis courts and two lighted sand volleyball courts. There are two baseball fields (the larger one is 350 feet to the fence!) and a woodchip-surface playground for ages 5 to 12. I would guess that normally there is enough parking here, but with the event going on, just about every space was filled and so were some "creative" spaces. [Review 11655 overall, 1437 of 2019.]

The 4 baseball fields are immaculate and in excellent shape. There is a lot of paved parking, one main entrance and two ticket booths, concessions (I could smell french fries), male and female bathrooms along with a unisex/family bathroom. Our field had a small section of bleachers and there was plenty of flat space for chairs and sports bubbles. Sidebar: Our son played baseball from the age of 7 all the way through high school. That's 11 years of us sitting in the wind, rain, sleet and freezing temperatures. Sports bubbles weren't around then so I was fascinated by them and yes, JEALOUS. People had wagons loaded with their own snacks and drinks but I doubt that would be allowed for the Minor League games. Plus, I think concession food helps make the baseball experience even better. Anyway, we had a great time! Hotdog, peanuts and popcorn anyone?!

I stopped by this park yesterday afternoon to wear out my kids on the playground. I was stunned…read morethat the playground was completely empty and all to us! The playground equipment was all brand new and the area was mostly enclosed with a fence. Within this space, the play equipment is appropriate for kids 5 to 12 years old. The floor of the play area is rubberized for safety. There's a super tall slide that you have to climb up via webbed ropes (so not very easy for smaller kids unless they are avid climbers). The slide is not for super tall people. It has sharp turns inside it that cause you to knock against the sides as you go down (I know from experience). It also caused my 4.5-year-old daughter to lose one of her shoes two times she slid down. There's a giant spider-web-like climbing area for kids to play on, as well. There are a couple of benches for parents to sit on as they watch their kids. There is a smaller area off to the side for kids 2 to 5 years old that has sand, multiple spring riders (an animal, an airplane, and a car), a small Yogi-Bear see-saw, and a small slide with steps (though the steps are a bit steep). It's disappointing that this area is not fenced in - especially since it's for younger kids who tend to wander. Luckily, there's a bathroom facility building across from the playground and next to the tennis courts. There are two stalls inside the ladys' room, one sink, and a heated blow dryer. Outside the bathroom, there's a handy water-bottle-filling station. There's also a dog run area (next to the parking area that you enter from on Wade Avenue) with benches, trash cans, and a dog waste station. If you want to host a party or picnic, there's a picnic shelter you can rent for $12 an hour (it has 6 tables and can host anywhere from 36 to 60 people). There are 2 tennis courts that have push-button lighting that works from dusk to 10 pm year-round. If you like Sand Volleyball, there are 6 lighted volleyball courts to choose from (they are first-come, first-served). On Tuesday and Thursday nights during league play, courts 1-4 are unavailable from 6 to 11 pm. There are 2 softball fields and a youth baseball field. I highly recommend this park if you have kids!
