We saw that they also have a playground for the little ones or any adventurous big ones lol. Wide open fields to do what you want with I suppose. We saw a couple throwing a frisbee. They also had a frisbee golf course. And plenty of trails! Even some for the equestrian bunch. And a body of water for fishing. Parking is ample but on a beautiful Sunday like it was for us, the only reason parking was at all limited was because it seems when people park in a dirt or gravel lot they tend to need a space and a half to park, but whatever we found a spot relatively easy.

It took a bit of travel for us, slightly over an hour each way, but it was worth it! The grounds here, the trail, the surrounding river, and the playground all make for the perfect day for kids and their parents, too! The nature trail is packed well and overall very stroller-friendly, with shortcuts in case you need to cut your walk short. There are also lots of great vantage points to sit for a moment and take in the scenery, if your kids will afford you that luxury. As for the playground, this is one to remember. It is so unique, constructed out of wood and fitting right in with the natural vibe of the surrounding woods. And the added bonus is listening to the flowing current nearby while your young ones enjoy going down the fish slide, swinging, and building a fort with bamboo. Also a lot of good spots for bird watching here! Be sure not to miss the part of the trail by the gravel parking lot. That takes you to the waterfall area, and there's a spot with 4 hammocks rigged up for kicking back and enjoying! Make a plan to come visit this place on a warm, sunny day. If you like nature, you and your family will love this! And if you are a history buff, interested in environmental conservatism, or a homeschool parent, this area is a good experience and opportunity to learn about the Saxapahaw/Sissipahaw natives' life on the Haw River and the development of the hydro mill as a source of energy. This area checks boxes for spiritual wellness, educational opportunity, and physical exercise as well. Aside of that, just fun and enjoyable!

Siler City's Bray Park contains an impressive Veterans Memorial: the West Chatham Veterans…read moreMemorial. The County did a great job with it. Going a different direction than a statue or a bas-relief memorial, the eight monument pillars are smooth, gradually increasing in height pointing toward the middle slab topped by an eagle. All branches of the military are represented. Around the perimeter are bench-like markers donated by or in remembrance of a specific conflict, person, or event. The names of veterans from the area are etched on the slabs on both sides, but don't appear to be in alphabetical order. I guess that it makes it easier to add names to the wall. Any veteran is allowed to have his or her name added. What is unusual is the series of letters following each name, listing the conflict in which he or she served. Most are easy to figure out, but there is a separate display with the abbreviations if needed. On the day I visited, it was raining pretty hard, so I almost didn't stop. The irony of having an issue with standing out in the rain at a memorial honoring those who experienced far worse than a drenching, was enough to make me deal with it. I'm glad I did. It's a nice place.

Although it's still being developed, the park offers a nice paved walking path (and a natural path) that winds through the wooded area. There's a small playground (made out of natural wood materials ) for the younger kids and an outdoor amphitheater and a small picnic shelter, and all along the path are benches available to sit and watch the surrounding activity, if that's your preference. I also saw the frames for the short zipline, but am not sure when or if it's operating. Dogs are allowed on the paths, and there a plenty of stations available to pick up after your furry friend, and future plans appear to include a dog park, disc golf that's under construction, an open field and bike trails. It was pretty quiet the day I was there, early in the morning before the heat kicked in, so I had plenty of time to explore. Although it's in a wooded area, the trees are cut back from the path leaving plenty of room to walk. That's going to be useful as more people find this place and take advantage of all it offers.

You can access this park at the Chatham Park entrance off of THOMPSON St in Pittsboro. Great little venues for kids that keep their attention. The crawl through house is a hit. Also the nature area with artificial grass is cool. Kids can crawl through a little tunnel. Of course the "Splash Pad " is the hit. Cool off under different designs with a purpose. To get you wet and cool you off. . That is not all !! A large Dog Park to let you furry kid run and play. If you want to make a picnic of this, you can . Covered area with picnic tables, out areas with picnic tables and charcoal grills. Walk area around the park in a semi circular fashion. You can view the park from the walk area. Also Pittsboro's answer to Stonehenge. I don't think these rocks are aligned in a astronomical way, but they are indigenous and check out the veins of Jade. That Stonehenge area has wire grass and I would recommend something to cover your feet. Oh almost forgot. Bathrooms are also in the big building with the covered picnic area. Even if Mother Nature does dribble on you. You can make your way to the covered area. All in all this is a great park for everyone. My Granddaughters approved of it.

This was our first time on any rides, and we went on the train first. The train made four laps around the track. For the first two lapse, our granddaughter was getting used to the train. By the third lap, she was OK and started pointing things out and enjoying it. By the fourth lap, it was all smiles and excitement. We also bought a ticket for the boats, and we're the only people there. But she was not ready to ride by herself, so that got nixed. We were going to get tickets for the carousel but the little one was getting tired so we left to head home. All of the people working there were super polite and friendly. The park was spotless and well maintained. The cost of the rides was only a dollar or a dollar fifty, which is a steal. They had snacks beside the ticket booth, but we didn't have any. All in all, this is a wonderful place for families or even couples to just enjoy the beauty. Five stars all day long!
