Lots of ramps throughout for those who are playing in the park in wheelchairs or who have trouble walking. Awesome. Lots of climbing frames and slides and fun things to do, all of it in bright primary colors. The park is in excellent condition with lots of shade. The park is in a small depression area which means that it's really easy for parents to keep an eye on their kids and harder for the kids to wander off.

The obstacle course is really fun for both kids and adults. The slides were my favorite part. They also have scuba diving on the end side of the lake. The only negative I will call out is that they don't have a water fountain or a filling station. I get that they allow outside food and drinks but for an outdoor water park, having a water fountain/filling station is a bare minimum.

A couple of staff members were unnecessarily rude to me, my girlfriend, and our child during our…read morevisit. At one point, a blonde female staff member approached my girlfriend in a very confrontational manner while we were simply saying goodbye to family members on the dock without wearing life jackets. We understood the life-jacket policy, but the way the situation was handled was disrespectful and could have been communicated much more professionally. Later, as we were leaving, we initially walked up one side of the ramp. We had already washed the sand off our feet and changed, so we did not want to walk back through the sand, get dirty again, and have to wait in line to rinse off a second time. We walked back down so we could leave through the other side. A young blonde male staff member stopped us simply to tell us that we could not be on the dock without life jackets, and his tone was extremely rude. I explained that we were aware of the rules and were only trying to leave through the other side because we had already cleaned the sand off and did not want to go back through the rinse line. Instead of simply acknowledging that and allowing us to leave, he continued to speak to me and my family in a disrespectful and unprofessional manner. What made the situation even more frustrating was that two older women were standing at the end of the same dock without life jackets, and neither staff member addressed them. That inconsistency made us feel singled out and raised concerns about whether the rules were being enforced equally for all guests. This business needs to take a serious look at its staffing and customer-service expectations. Some employees appeared to lack the communication skills necessary to interact appropriately with customers. We also encountered staff members who were not welcoming upon arrival, appeared disengaged in their responsibilities, and created the impression that certain guests or demographics were being treated differently than others. I am not normally someone who leaves negative reviews for businesses, but this was one of the most disappointing staff experiences I have encountered. Families should be able to visit, follow the rules, and still be treated with basic courtesy and respect. Based on our experience, I would not recommend bringing my family back.

It is not often a government gets something right, but in the case of the Greenway they nailed it in my opinion. Laid out nicely along the Neuse River.

I wish more cyclists would announce themselves when coming up from behind, but hey what would the world be without assholes. Enjoy a relaxing couple of ours and take a hike.

There are also shaded turf areas with seating, which is a nice touch for parents who want to stay out of the sun while keeping an eye on the kids. A few things kept it from being a 5-star visit. The parking lot is very small, there is only one restroom for the splash pad area, and I wish there was a small gate or fence around it since it's so open. I also expected it to be a little larger than it is. Overall, it's a clean, enjoyable, and free place to cool off on a hot day. I'd definitely come back.

After visiting the current landfill earlier this month. I decided to visit a former landfill. Green…read moreHills County Park is on the land that was used as a landfill to 2008. In 2010 it was been transformed to a park and you can climb the hill to get to the top of the landfill to see view of Wake Forest and Downtown Raleigh. If you look closely you can see how much the landfill has shrunk from 2008 as there is a white line on a pipe. The gas produced from the landfill goes to a nearby pharmaceutical company and that company provides nitrogen for the park. Along the walk up the gravel trail to the top there are pictures of items and on the back it tells you how long it takes for them item to break down. A tin can will take about 50 years to break down and plastic jugs were a million years to break down. Plastic water bottles can take 450 years to break down. So many items in the landfill could have been recycled so learning those numbers makes me rethink how much trash I am producing. You can drive around the hill in one direction as one lane is for bicycles and pedestrians and the other for vehicles. There is a playground; a shelter and restrooms available. This is a nice park and I will return and walk more tails.
