    Memorial Park - Pool at Memorial Park, Asheboro

    The name Memorial Park usually correlates to a cemetery but that's not what's going on at this…read moreMemorial Park. This one has nine lighted tennis courts, a public pool, picnic shelters, playgrounds, a sand volleyball court, bocce courts, horseshoe pits and event shuffleboard courts. Yeah, this park has a lot! There are public restrooms, water fountains and lots of parking. Everything looked to be quite well maintained and I had a good look around. This park really is "As good as it gets."

    Bummer follow-up to Winston Waterworks, for sure, but not necessarily strictly due to the the…read moreaccommodations, my rating can be almost entirely attributed to one particular lifeguard. Boo, just boooo! As per usual, the lifeguard staff at Memorial Park pool is comprised of teenagers, no surprise. That's pretty common. However, this lot of teen lifeguards had to be the most unprofessional lot I'd ever had the displeasure to experience-- with one 'Queen Bee' lifeguard in particular. Let me explain. As you enter, you pay your admission fee ($2/ per person), we opted for the night swim. The facilities are older, and could definitely use some sprucing up (fresh paint, new fixtures, etc.), but everything was clean and well maintained. I was joined by 3 of my kiddos, two of my daughters and one of my sons (20, 7 & 9 respectively). The 7 year old wanted to jump off of the diving board, so was required to take a swim test. She passed the 2-part swim test at Winston Waterworks (part 1: swim the full length of their pool with without stopping, part 2: tread water for 60 seconds without your head going under). However, 'Queen Bee' administered her swim test (swim a short length). She failed her almost immediately because her shoulders didn't remain above water. Say what? My 9 year old is on the spectrum. When we arrived, he did his happy dance. Basically, he danced in place on his tippy toes. 'Queen Bee' blew her whistle at him and sternly yelled at him to, "Stop running!" Again, say what? Hmmm. The rules are clearly posted, so at this point I figured I had better get familiar so I could spare us all any more encounters with the Queen. They were all as expected, No Roughhousing, No Diving in Shallow End, No Running, etc., etc. Okay, we can manage that, right. Queen Bee's whistle blows again. I look up, and yep, she's looking directly at ME. My 7 year old was on my shoulders as I walked out to the deeper end of the pool so watch my 9 year old do some tricks. I guess that's a nope, too. Funny thing is, as I looked around, there was a large, rowdy group of older kids (teens) wrestling and splashing near us. No whistle blew for them, seemed strange. Like really strange. The kids weren't bothering us, just the fact that the Queen's whistle was partial to us was. The progressed, the whistle continued to sing for us periodically, the older kids splashed and played-- that's when I noticed it, or, her, actually. Queen Bee was one of the kids wrestling and playing!! Say what?! The large group of ROUGHHOUSING "kids" were actually the rotating lifeguards!! Wow, just wow. Man, did I wish I had a whistle.

    Such a GORGEOUS park in the middle of small town North Carolina just outside of Charlotte. Lake…read moresports, fishing, children's parks and events, the place is HUGE. Camping hours locks you in after closing with private access should you need to exit. Ranger is a friendly bloke that was so helpful. Peaceful, full hookups and onsite black tank disposal. Note, it's a public park - so you're not going to have control over whom your neighbours are, but we got lucky and the possible problem guests were leaving as we arrived (yay!).

    Nice, spacious park!!! The playground areas, alone, is worth the drive, it's huge and great for all…read moreages!! There's also a carousel, a barnyard to pet farm animals, an aquarium/exhibit with live animals inside of it in the nature center, a splash pad, mini golf, trails for walking, and some wildlife habitats outside that have wild animals as well. We didn't get to do the train, as it was closed; but there was still so much to enjoy at the park. Me and my bestie brought our kids and they had a blast! We spent a solid 2-3 hrs there and had a great time. It's also very inexpensive!! Some things that I will say is that the bathrooms are not very clean and don't even work but it's an old place, so that's to be expected and we're not there to use the restroom, we're there to play! Bring cash for extra things, like carousel, barnyard, animal exhibits, etc...sometimes their card reader doesn't work and they can only accept cash. There's even a cute place to shop where you purchase tickets for everything with toys and snacks inside! All in all, we had a great time! Keep in mind this place is old, but it definitely still has charm, and stands out against the other parks around. The animal exhibits, including the barnyard petting activity is a hit or miss, because this place is not a zoo. The animals have plenty of room to hide and/or roam to get space, which is a great thing!!! But some people might be upset after paying and not really being able to see the animals. Highly recommend!!! Go if you haven't!!!!

    This is such a cool safari park... its a hidden gem TBH. They have farm animals which you can pet…read moreand larger animals you can observe and get relatively close too. Of course their big attraction is the drive thru animal park which you take your own car along a dirt trail and can feed (if you choose) various animals. The price for this place will not break the bank. A couple of observations to improve: 1) It needs to be maintained more... some of the exhibits just feel like add-ons on top of add-ons and it feels dated. 2) A refresh and modernization to the walking trails would be good. 3) A proper cafe or even drink stations with covered seating would be nice. Something more than just random popup trailers. 4) A more permanent (possibly lit) sign off highway 87 would be nice (if possible) Again this place is awesome, would come back!

    My Husband and I came here on my Birthday, and it was the most fun and entertaining experience!!…read more First, we did the drive through, and I was not ready for how hard we would laugh and how aggressive an ostrich can be. They come and dart their heads in to get food. Also, the llamas and alpacas will follow your car if they want more food. Hilarious. We repeated to ourselves several times not to feed the donkey and the zebras, as they can bite! We actually drove through the whole thing twice, and I'm really glad we did. More and more animals came to our car the second time around. There are camels that are feet taller than our car. We were able to feed and interact with some more huge gentle giants and also learned to roll the windows up if an ostrich was running towards us! The walk-through portion is fun as well, we fed some barnyard animals and even pet a kangaroo! The big, exciting part for me though was when we got to feed carrots to the giraffes. They are so huge but so docile and they take the carrots with their tongues. This was really a fun experience, with us even putting the carrots in our mouths for them to give us "kisses". All the staff members are friendly and helpful, the areas are well kept and the animals seem to be well cared for. The price is $15 to enter, and that includes the drive through and walk through, you get a wrist band so you can go to each as many times in your visit that you want to. The cups of feed are $3 each the first time, and then an additional dollar for refills. The giftshop was cute with lots of fun stuff to purchase. There is also a food vendor there on site with some yummy foods, and an area with picnic tables to enjoy a nice lunch. This was a great time, and I will recommend to anyone in Fayetteville or surrounding areas!
