Located just south of Meadowlark Middle school, the park has ample parking, an EV charging station, a pavilion that can be reserved, picnic tables, grills, a dog park, and plenty of green areas to run around. Multiple paths also lead to the Muddy Creek Greenway where walkers, bicyclists, roller bladers and runners are welcome. Restrooms are also available at the pavilion. This park pretty much checks all the necessary boxes. My wife and I parked here to walk the greenway and then sat at the pavilion on a lovely day and just enjoyed the sights and sounds. Simplicity has its advantages!

Amazing to think we've been here for almost 3 years now and still haven't been to all the parks even in the very near vicinity! This park is located about a quarter mile down and across the street from Joanie Moser, and it's got a rather large, clean playground area, paved walking path, and a steep slope perfect for sledding! There were kids sledding down even with no sign of snow to come! Impressive, and I can't wait for the next nice day to come back!

Religious migration of MORAVIANS from the North Eastern states. And ultimately the MORAVIAN RELIGION hails from Germany from the 1400's. Their church emerged from the Hussite movement, which predated Martin Luther's Reformation by over 50 years. This park honors a long heritage, that laid the foundation that predates both Winston and Salem, now Winston-Salem. This public park hosts several festivals a year. And it hosts outdoors summer concerts that can be held under a open air shelter. Great for families and peoples or all ages and their pets. Nice and flat for strolling. The grounds houses structures and reconstructed structures from the original settlement back to 1753. Several of the structures house demonstrations for the living skills needed back then: food production, black smithing, etc. A modern welcome center has a model reproduction of the center and is a sort of mini museum. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to educate. There are presentations in the center on the history. Nice bathrooms are there also. And a limited # items are available for purchase and I believe funds go to support the park. The main old structure is a house of worship with an organ that dates from very early on. Consider HISTORIC BETHABARA a quicker trip that to say WILLAMSBURG in VA (granted that is larger and more historically important on a National Level) but nonetheless a way to take a quick step back in time. Also consider OLD SALEM a little to the south in Winston-Salem. Another MORIAVIAN SETTLEMENT (really a follow on, since BETHABARA was meant to be temporary whilst SALEM was planned to be permanent). More along the lines of a mini-WILLAMSBURG. With a reopened TAVERN restaurant. And historical sites and demonstrations to experience. And SALEM is the home to the 1st ever official 4TH OF JULY celebration in the Nation. And back to HISTORIC BETHABARA, take a stroll through the vegetable garden housing genetically same fruits and vegetables that were grown back in the 1700's. Salem also has the same type of gardens.

The docents were outside and inside the various village houses demonstrating activities and general living in the period of the time around 1700s authentically dressed in period attire. Such a nice sunny day to bundle up and experience what the villagers had to offer as you stood by the fires to watch how candles were made, forging iron, eating samples of cookies, Johnnie cake and such. The demonstrations were very informative as the docents told how normal day to day chores, cooking, schooling, spinning wool, drying fruit and veggies were prepared for use in the winter when produce couldn't grow. All the buildings were open so you could get out of the cold and go inside to listen to the informative history and see the furnishings and displays of the day. The live music and the decorations really helped put me in the holiday mood. Make a point of checking out life at Bethabara Village and walking around the grounds. Lots to see and paths for walking with you and your doggo if you like. Note that the buildings aren't always open except special events but you can go see the village all year round and sightsee or for walking in the area.

Hey, what do ya know!? Another beautiful park in the Triad! This one is closely located to main…read moreroads, but removed enough to enjoy the nature while wrangling your kids along! This park has a walking trail that is paved and stroller friendly, and a couple of playgrounds intersect this on either side. Looks like one playground also contains a splash pad, but this was closed off when we went. Not sure if because it was still early in the season or if it's still shut down due to the pandemic. On the other side of the parking lot is a unique outside gym area with several pieces of equipment. Elliptical, stepper, pull-up bars, resistance trainers, and signage accompanying with instructions. This is under a canopy and looks well maintained. Adjacent to this is also a court area for playing horseshoes and pétanque. They also host a friendly and free pétanque league here! I had to look up what pétanque was, and seems like it's very similar to bocce ball. I might join up this summer! They gather on Sunday afternoons.

It has kids play area, for adults there is a big field for sports and courts for pickle ball and tennis. Across the street are short trails that run by a creek and goes about a mile. The trail goes straight with a few ways to branch off. There is a short bridge that goes over the creek and ends near the Silas Creek area. Along that trail is an open field and a small stand of bamboo trees to seek a little shade. The main trail ends at a busy road and there is another trail on the other side of this road. If you get tired there are a few benches scattered in different parts of the trail for resting, reading or enjoying the surroundings. The benches have plaques dedicated to family loved ones but my fave is the bench plaque that simply says "Pay it Forward"..... Food for thought while sitting there.
