This small neighborhood park is located near downtown Salisbury and abuts the railroad tracks. It includes a nice sized parking lot that has an EV charging station. The park has a concrete seating area arranged as an amphitheater with its back to Innes Street. It was created through the generosity of Julian and Blanche Robertson. The park features a fountain that replicates the figure Rebecca which stood in the Square in downtown Salisbury in the early 1900's. It is open from 8:00am until sunset. There was a good amount of litter and trash here despite the trash cans. [Review 1132 of 2024 - 3627 in North Carolina - 22156 overall] read more

It's one of the highlights of my city. It's a beautiful park has attractions for families and kids…read moreand also others at night. It's very decorative with lights and colorful waterfall. My Dog Napoleon thinks it's his park and insists ongoing there for every walk. Most people are respectful and enjoy the green area and also clean up after themselves if they have dogs, however there are a few in the minority that aren't as community minded. Saw two other large dogs with owners who could barely control them. Unfortunate because there are a lot of children and people playing near the water area and the playground area. Highly recommend one of my favorite parks of the city. They also have concerts and events like movies here.

There is a huge green in front of a bandshell that is an amphitheater. Lovely public restrooms. A neat shaded walk with picnic tables and a gazebo. A beautiful fountain. All in the shadow of the Bell Tower. The park dates back to 1855 when Salisbury native Maxwell Chambers donated the two blocks to the First Presbyterian Church. It's a fabulous open space and Salisbury is fortunate to have it. [Review 1142 of 2024 - 3637 in North Carolina - 22166 overall]

You're treated to views of interesting rock formations, one in particular that may be considered "NSFW" lol! At the top there are views of a rock quarry below, picnic tables for the kids, and an overlook point where you can catch views of downtown Winston and Pilot Mountain as well, if you get the right sky for it. Well worth a trip out of the way, especially if you're planning a day in the area!

The main trail is a mile long and circles through the trees and around the lake on the other side. Its a very nice walk. You will pass families enjoying the picnic areas and grills, lots of families on the trails with their little ones on bikes, and fishing. Everyone you pass is normally pretty friendly with hellos and encouraging words as you pass each other. There is also a large trail that branches off from this trail. I see a lot of cross country runner teams and they have a lot of matches there. But you can still enjoy the trails during matches. There is also a Baseball Field and a large field for activities such as soccer. Times vary depending on the time of year but I highly recommend this park.

It is a neighborhood park, surrounded by residences on all four sides. The size of a city block - 3.5 acres - it features a gazebo, a play structure, a bank-shot basketball game, picnic tables and a walking area for the Park Avenue neighbors. It was clean from litter and the "Bankshot" game looks like a whole lot of fun. [Review 1137 of 2024 - 3632 in North Carolina - 22161 overall]

I walked the path with coffee in one hand and folded umbrella in the other. The whole place had that clean, quiet Sunday morning smell that only shows up after a steady rain. The lake was calm, the air felt fresh and it was the kind of quick stop that resets your mood before getting back on the road. The park has a picnic shelter and public restroom. There are benches, a playground and grills. [Review 641 of 2026 - 4729 in North Carolina - 25822 overall]

This is a nice park to take kids to for something to do. They had signs saying you shouldn't enter the water in certain places, but people seemed to ignore those. Lots of laughs and splashing heard as we walked around. :) They have several restrooms which were pretty clean for the most part also, which was a good thing. Parking is plentiful, but how close you can park depends on how crowded it is. We were initially directed to an overflow lot but just as we got out of the car, some spaces opened up in the main lot so we were able to move. I believe you can also get on a chartered boat here to go on Lake Norman. Nice place, we will return.

Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities.

My child enjoyed every opportunity to meet animals in a relaxed and educational environment. They have a wonderful playground outside and is free. The animal tour is $10 / adult and $3 for kids. Worth every penny, my kid had never enjoyed animals until this trip. The outdoor animals are in excellent comfort and clean areas. We fed goats and pigs. Then we went inside and saw Guinea pigs, rabbits, and a lizard! Phenomenal educational opportunity!! You do need a reservation for the animal tours and they have summer camp so call Ahead to make sure it's available. Parking is in the lot.
