I went to a Father's Day barbecue at Northeast Park and overall it was a nice experience. There was…read moreplenty of parking, which made it easy, and I liked that the park had a pond, a really big pool, and a nice area for the kids to play. The covered shelter was definitely a plus because it kept us out of the sun, especially with it being hot outside. It seemed like a really good spot for family gatherings, cookouts, and just spending time together. I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed being there and don't really have any complaints -- overall it was a pretty decent park.

We visit this spot several times during the year. Huge pool with a couple of diving boards with…read moredeep enough waters to dive from. Always a clean place and friendly staff which we know some personally. Life guards are used to make sure everyone is safe. They have snacks and refreshments to sell and a large children area of the pool for the little ones to enjoy. At times it may get crowded and have fewer lounge chairs than people, so come at different times. The entire property is pretty to walk around and enjoy.

LeBauer Park is a great part of downtown Greensboro and adds real value to the area for residents…read moreof the city. It is small but well useful, and it works especially well during events like First Fridays and the Christmas festival as extra space. The playground is a hit with my kids and makes it easy to stop and let them burn off energy while walking around downtown. The restaurant stalls are a nice touch, and grabbing things like hot chocolate in the winter is a favorite for the family. It feels welcoming, lively, and well integrated into the surrounding downtown.

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!

This is a really small park but it has a lot to offer for its size…read more What you notice immediately about the park is the brick smoke stacks on the opposite side of the river at what was once Cone Fabrics. Between the river and parking is a practice spot for disc golf. I have seen disc golf practice tee's before but they usually are near a disc golf park and they don't have the distance on top of the disc catcher. There were 3 there.I thought this was a pretty cool feature of the park. Also this park provided permanent corn-hole boards which were made of concrete or resin. There were bathrooms, a shelter, play ground and gazebos. Plenty of open space and parking. You can walk right down to the river and there are some really nice views. Again, small park but for its size it stands out.

Went on the greenway on my bike on Saturday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed every but of it. I got…read moreon the loop at W Fisher and N elm and went counter clockwise. To begin with i was riding pretty much through the side of the road. Then after a while it turns into the undone part of the trail, which even in broad daylight made me a bit uneasy and had spidey senses working over time. Once you get off the undone part though, it was gorgeous. The paved road is perfect to bike on, with great sculptures all along the pathway to keep you looking for more. The road itself was super smooth and it offered a nice mix of inclines and declined which made for a great workout Sadly I got a flat at E Bragg and Arlington so i had to walk back to my car after that, but I will definitely be back next time (will skip the undone part this time though) to finish this beautiful loop!

Talk to GOD and get a…read moreDOG! #ReflectDogs Love & Forgiveness Elon, I'm not sure whether I'm more impressed by the dog park here in Elon or by the fact that Mr Musk had them name a town after him in 1893? Hahaha but this park is incredible for the size of town it is in. It not only has multiple poop bag dispensers but it also has multiple trash cans spaced all around the park. It has a nice watering facility that you could also wash your dog off with as soon as you come in the gate. It has a nice brick walk path all the way out to a nice brick patio that is right in the middle of the dog park that has benches and multiple places to sit down. It appears that someone has made a very nice watering station right in the middle of the seating area. They have multiple bowls and multiple bottles of water. The dog park itself is very flat and easy to walk around. Although the actual parking lot is kind of small. But there are plenty of old growth trees, grass, and all kinds of dirt and leaves!! But I am sure your puppy will enjoy it

So #SuperHubs and I were looking for a new place to walk today and decided to try this little trail…read moreoff of Summit Ave. To be honest, I was a little skeptical of it since it's tucked away a bit from the road, but it was a really cute and short trail (only about 1/2 mile if you walk it once) It was peaceful and quiet except for the glorious sounds of nature The only complaint I have is that the trailhead isn't cleared well enough. We had a hard time finding out where to actually start. Also, it has grown over in some places, so try to dodge the briars along the way. Also, there are a couple of entrances, so take a look at the pics with this review and check them out ahead of time! All in all, though, we had a good time just enjoying the fresh air and shade!

Unfortunately it's closed today and I had to peep in but I've been here many times and it's a great place for a bbq. It's quiet and very pretty surroundings. I wouldn't recommend using disabled devices except in the entrance way because most of the area is grassy or wood that might be slick.
