They've also got these cement (or some sort of stone anyway) tables and chairs that are built into the ground. They are great for stopping to chill and have a snack or for playing chess. One of my favorite things about this park is that the big kids section and younger kids playground are pretty well separated as well as fenced in so you don't need to worry about your toddler running off and disappearing. The toilet here is pretty crap ngl but hey, at least they have a toilet st all. Look out for the birds in the summer. They will stare you down and follow you like you're treading on their turf and it's pretty damn intimidating haha RUN!!!

Big, flat and plenty of room for running! The playgrounds looked quite popular and include rubber-surfaced areas for ages 2-5 and 5-12. Very busy today with parents and little ones running about. The park has a few benches here and there, especially the one in front of Cooper's Pond. I'm not sure if the pond is stocked, but being near the water was lovely.

They've got covered patio tables/seating and I've seen people have birthday parties here before. There are two bathrooms with plumbing that are a little older but they do the job. Occasionally they need servicing but there's a QR code and phone number on the wall that you can use if it needs it. Honestly I was going to give this place a 5 because I love it so much but the restrooms were looking pretty neglected today. Lots of things to do on the playground including a sandbox, 3 toddler slides, and 3 large slides, lots of climbing and spinning equipment too! It's right next to Crabtree creek trail which links onto a greenway. There are also tennis courts and plenty of parking spaces in the lot.

They have a great sand area with diggers and a seesaw. They have a decent sized area of slides and climbing structures, as well as a spinning chair and a spinning swing type thing. Certainly some unique stuff compared to some parks. They have plenty of shade over the playground and covered picnic areas. The greenway access is also right by the playground. It's a pretty steep hill, so if that isn't your thing I wouldn't plan to take that walk. It's quite pretty in the middle of the trees. Not a lot of mask wearing on the playground, but we are usually able to keep somewhat of a distance.

Not massive but fair sized park facility including playground, shelter, playing and ball fields, etc. with paved walking/running path to use that connects to the adjacent Hatcher Creek Greenway. The Deets: During COVID-19 time, I've had a chance to walk over to Morrisville Community Park a couple of times to enjoy some outside time. It is easy to access by car with a parking lot off Morrisville Parkway, or you can walk there as I have using Hatcher Creek Greenway path access. From reading others' descriptions of the park, I expected it to be small (if you just considered the area around the playground) but I would say for Morrisville it's got a good bit of land to enjoy...I took plenty of pics of the areas I encountered). There is a children's playground area, and to the side of it appears to be a little outside fitness area to use. To the other side of the playground, a nice shelter area is available with adjacent bathroom facilities. I noticed a sign posted next to them stating that "this facility is cleaned and sanitized daily for your safety" which is good to know, especially now. When you past the shelter, there is a pretty large open playing field (?pickup games of football/soccer, etc.,?) and beyond that are ball fields. The field 1 is a 301 ft fence ball field and field 2 has a 200 ft fence distance, with both next to a nice facilities building. In between the open playing field and fields 1 & 2, there is a smaller ball field (field 3) that appears to be under repairs at the time of this writing. Park users can enjoy a nice paved walkway around all of the park area, and it connects up with the Hatcher Creek Greenway on both sides of the park. It makes for a nice loop in itself for a good walk or to go on further to the greenway for more exercise. In all, As with the greenway, I find Morrisville Community Park a great resource that the town of Morrisville provides to the public for use, especially when you need your exercise to be in an outside setting. I am a fan!

One play structure was designed for kids aged 2-5 and the other was for older kids. My son loved the baby swings! We will definitely head back to this playground again soon.

There's a large covered picnic area capable to seat 36-60ppl with 5 tables, 2 grills, $9/hour to rent but no electricity (Mami Nora's is down the street, so you could take your meal to go and eat it outdoors here!) The park includes a neighborhood center with a meeting room large enough to hold 85 people, rentable for $50/hour (which includes warming kitchen, tables and chairs). Overall, it's a good park, it seems to be a popular place to park and eat lunch on weekdays and a safe place to park and utilize the greenway.

There is a playground, splash pad, a cafe, air conditioned bathroom, botanical gardens, amphitheater, and a little cafe. There was also a communication board near the playground for our nonverbal friends! Signs mentioned a dog park but I didn't get to that. There was a free art cart for kids. There were signs for a parking garage, but there is also street parking nearby too. Overall a great and free place to spend time with kids.

The park is very accessible so I came to appreciate that as I was able to take the ramps and paths to avoid the stairs. The maps and signage make the park easy to navigate. Parking was also very easy; you can park behind the Cary Library, in the Town Hall Deck, in the parking lot on Charlie Gaddy Lane or in street parking spots. I enjoy the public art while strolling through the park. The cardinals in the play area, the water fountain, the Skywalk, the Gathering House, and just taking in nature. The park offers many options for visitors. It is a nice addition for the community.

You basically go through a neighborhood and head right into the park at the end of a neighborhood street to go into the main section. We went on a nice Saturday in January and the park was super busy with disc golf players. It definitely seems like the thing to do here. They also have a large tennis court people were using. I went over for the playground. I thought the setup was great. They had four baby swings and a nice smaller play structure for toddlers. They also had a big play structure for older kids, multiple swings, little bouncy car things, and a sand pit with digging toys. It's in a wooded area so I think in the Summer it would stay a bit cooler and still a place you could go play.
