Best of all it's free to the public. It has fields, colorful playground equipment and tennis courts. Next to it is also a splash pad. There are several areas to get out of the sun and cooking areas. I think the Kiwanis and Zahra Baker parks are named for the adjoins areas of the park.

Most of the parking was in use in that area and that's perfectly okay.

The park is in very good condition with mowed grass and only a few bits of litter here and there. [Review 15894 overall - 3110 in North Carolina - 1399 of 2021.]

I reallllly appreciate how this playground is designed ie not having multiple cutouts at the very top (so I don't have to worry about my toddler falling).

When I stopped…read moreby the playground was in full use and I had to wait for the kids to get bored of the awesome slide so that I could get a picture of it without them. On top of that, one of the baseball fields was being used for little league play and they were going all out. The park has two picnic shelters with tables and grills, a tennis court, basketball court, batting cages, restrooms, splashpad and two playgrounds. One of the playgrounds is named after Zahra Baker and I'd suggest you not go look up that name. The park is handicapped accessible including some of the rides. The four baseball fields are lighted. Parking was very limited today with lots of parents bringing their kids and hanging out. I managed to find a legal spot in front of a home on a cross street. Don't block driveways or fire hydrants!

There are plenty of shaded areas surrounding the park and plenty of parking spaces. This park is not local for us otherwise it would definitely be a part of our weekly park rotation. If you're nearby though and have some rambunctious kiddies, this is the place to take them.

One of the newest amenities is the Kayak Launch recently added. It allows you to easily get down the steps to the river and kayak. I would urge caution with young children here, as there were not many rails and I can see an accident happening here easily if you look away for a moment. There are also picnic tables, both covered and not. The only real downside here is that sometimes the park has had a reputation for disreputable folks meeting here for drugs. They have done a good job of keeping that element out the last few times I've visited, with frequent drive-bys of staff. This is a great park that offers a lot for our community to be active.

It had plenty of parking, large, well groomed fields, lots of shade trees for spectators, paved paths between fields, clean bathrooms (with toilet paper!), and a well staffed and stoked snack bar (even selling bags of ice!). We constantly saw maintenance people riding golf carts, emptying trash cans and cleaning up, and we really appreciated spending three days at a park this nice. We didn't use any of the other parts of the park, but saw golf and frisbee courses, zip lining and playgrounds. Friends told us there is also a water park on a river nearby. Compared to some places we've been with overflowing Porta-Potties, ragged fields and no snack bar or shade, this one was a delight and we hope to come back again soon.
