    Been going to this park since 2006 when it was nothing more than a cow pasture with a mowed walking…read moretrail and a cow pond. I used this park to recover from a war injury in Iraq. I appreciated this park because it was a grassroots effort. Since then the park has become more sophisticated with playgrounds, picnic shelters, restrooms and a little ones book library. One part of the park that endears me for walking are the mowed paths, some seem on purpose, others seem for maintenance. I use these paths, in combination with the main path to change directions on my walk. During my standard one hour walk, I never get bored and can change directions to avoid other walkers. Sometimes I walk my dogs there and do not want them near other dogs. When I was using trail for rehabilitation, there was a cute lady that was training for tu he Mountain to Sea trail, we trained the same time every day and I could change routes to avoid the impression that I was stalking her. The trail also has some elevation changes, but the distance between hills is small enough that you can keep your heart rate up if you speed up on downhills. Surprisingly, I have never seen anyone running here, the same qualities that make it a good walking path, would make it a good running path. There is a definitive set of rules posted, but I have never seen any enforcement during my hundred or so visits. With that said the only violations I have seen are off leash dogs. I have seen a lot of people fishing at the pond, but no one catching. I see th ed m work around the perimeter of the pond with negative results. They definitely need to look into getting the pond stocked, maybe with state help. The most amusing use of pond was by labrador who retrieved sticks quite nicely an DC had a blast doing it, although at cost of violating park rules. Overall, I would recommend park for runners, walkers, children that need some play time. I don't know what the reservation policy for picnic pavilion is, it could be a great place bbn for a birthday party as long as someone else isn't already there.

    Nice small park to walk around, clean and safe , good for your morning jog , or taking the kids for…read morea picnic .

    The Weymouth Center for the Arts & Humanities is located in Southern Pines. It is free to visit…read more The grounds are open 7 days a week but the Boyd House is just open Monday through Friday. It is a large estate at 26 acres. I read about Weymouth Center in Our State Magazine and knew I wanted to visit. When I learned Thomas Wolfe stayed here that got me here sooner as I am fascinated by his life. The Boyd House is a great building to explore. The Boyds opened their house over 100 years ago to build a community for writers and artists and those with open minds to come together. The Literary Hall of Fame was nice to explore as I was introduced to new authors while seeing some familiar names. The grounds are lovely and peaceful to explore. Weymouth has a writer's residence where authors can go and work on their writing. Weymouth Equestrians has underserved teens ride and help with horse care. While I was there, a crew was getting tents set up for a wedding the next day. Also I heard that there was going to be live music on Sunday. It seems like such a great venue and the organization greatly benefits the community.

    We came here while visiting Southern Pines and so glad we did! Perfect weather for a nice hike…read moresurrounded by longleaf pine trees. Signage is very clear, and it is an easy hike. The welcome center is a good place to start as staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms in the welcome center and a discovery room for children of all ages.
