A lovely spot for a rest or a walk, this park does have access to the Crabtree Creek Greenway…read more While this park does not have any structures or playgrounds, it does have a large grassy area and there are a number of benches overlooking the park, some in shade and some not. Keep an eye on construction as there seems to be something sewage and digging related going on at the moment. [Review 11738 overall, 1520 of 2019.]

"In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect." - Alice Walker (1944-)…read more At nearly 40 acres, this is a large park with a lot of amenities and activities. There is a fenced off-leash dog park, tennis and volleyball courts, two playgrounds (one for 2-5 and one for 5-12) with sand surfaces that today were covered in fallen leaves. The park has a scenic walking trail that winds through the park. And then there is the Carolina Pines Community Center which was secured today but ordinarily has classes and other programs. This was a very pleasant stop on my exploration of Raleigh's parks. I enjoyed my time here and would return! [Review 2456 of 2024 - 3911 in North Carolina - 23468 overall]

Honestly, after going for another run here, I have to up my rating to 5 stars. The greenway is…read morepretty darn beautiful, and there's parking right next door to it. In my last review, I should have also noted that there's a fishing pier (no idea if people actually catch anything, but I did see a few trying!) and a covered "shelter" where people can hang out on their laptops and enjoy the outdoors. Overall, I think this park will become one of my running staples.

We walked to this park from our house in Cary for years !! We moved and I will have to admit that…read moreI miss it. The paved walking trail goes all the way around a small lake. There are a few sets of stairs and a small hill that you can train on as well. Baseball fields and volleyball and swingsets. We spent many a day here playing tennis and soccer with my kids. It's a great little park. Give it a visit - you will be glad you did.

The…read morepark backs on to I-440 between Glen Eden Drive and Marshall Park Lane so you'll be doing some walking which is great! Aside from the Neighborhood Center which is a separate "business," the park itself contains a picnic shelter, concrete-surface basketball court, four lighted tennis courts, a large field (could be soccer but it's not completely flat) and two sand-surfaced playgrounds. Lots of parking, which is awesome. [Review 11732 overall, 1514 of 2019.]

This is not your typical park. It's not a place where you can find picnic tables or a jungle gym…read more It's basically a parking area and neighborhood access to the trail far far far below. Be safe -- it can be quite spooky if there's not a lot of people around.

Very well kept park located in south west Raleigh not too far from downtown. The parking is…read moreeffortless. The restrooms were clean. The trails were scenic and relatively easy to navigate. I enjoyed the trails and I recommend hiking here. There is a nice pond loop trail area that's really nice. I'd definitely return. No pets are allowed here. That's the only downside. Besides that it was a great time here. This is a nice 3.5 miles when covering all the trails.

Although out of the way from Wake Forest, this park is nice. Not too easy and not too difficult…read more Very little elevation change, however the trail is mostly dirt. So, if it is raining be prepared for some muddy conditions. The trail is pretty much covered by trees that provides some shade. Yesterday it was in the 90s, but with the breeze and shade, I was able to get 12000 steps. There are clean restrooms at the entrance/exit of the park. There was also ample parking. The trail is a little over 1 mile if you just go around the lake. There are more steps if you take the trail into the woods. Stay on the paths and they will loop you back. Yesterday, the only disappointment was the water wheel wasn't being used and we didn't get any pictures of that.

They use to have a big slide that was alot of fun & they had seesaws. Maybe too many people got hurt and they removed the seesaws but that was the best part about the left side. The slide, last time I saw it - wasn't in the best shape. But that's just normal wear and tear. The right entrance however, big playground - lots to do. I had fun here even as a teenager. I still occasionally come here to walk the trail, I like this park alot. Lots of good memories here.
