    One of my absolute favorite places in Forsyth County. It's a delightfully safe place to take a walk or go for a run. They have BMX trails and horses are also welcome. Tucked behind The Manor House is a charming garden, including a children's garden. Bring your pups, too, and take them to Tanglewoof park. Excellent location for family, prom, or engagement photos. During the summer they have a great pool for the family. You can get an annual pass or pay $2 per visit.

    This park has it all: endless spots for picnicking, a pool, a beautiful dog walk, horseback riding, wild (yet extremely friendly) deer that will walk right up to you scenic, clean bathrooms and stunning scenic views that remain perfect for any jogger, power-walker or athletes into cycling out in nature. By far, this is my absolute favorite park in all of Winston-Salem, North Carolina! Once you visit and explore it, it won't be hard to learn why that is!!!!

    Only GOD loves you more than your DOG! #ReflecDogs Love & Forgiveness This is another one of those dog parks that it all depends on what you're looking for? If you want to big giant open area for your dogs to run free and have a great time in, this may be the place except for the two trees, there isn't much for them to run into. There are multiple poop bags dispensers placed evenly all around the interior of the fence line as well as benches for you to sit on. But none of the benches have any kind of covering or shade. It is a nice double-gated concrete entryway with a separate one for both the big and small dog parks. You can easily walk around the interior of the fence line and you park right outside the dog park.

    This park is big and beautiful, and offers everything from golf to horseback riding, and BMX trails. I have enjoyed the Christmas lights in years past, but for the most part I go to the park for walking. They have a pool and splash area as well, and pavilions for rent, and so much more. Even when the park is busier, I haven't had any trouble finding parking. The park is well maintained and the bathrooms are clean. It's an easy choice for, and for a lot of other activities as well.

    This park is truly amazing. I am a lifeguard at the Aquatic Center (Pool) and i have been treated very well as both a patron and an employee in past and present years. Maintenance is taken very seriously around the park as a whole. (most) People are very kind, polite, and respectful. I would like to say about other negative reviews to the pool, issues with guards nodding off or not paying attention have been handled accordingly. The "Grad Party" group that gave us a 1-Star review told a false story about us being entitled. that group was a complete hassle and would not listen to me or our team. We, as lifeguards, devote our time and energy to keeping our patrons safe while being respectful and accountable. Come stop by!

    This park is gorgeous and spacious. They were already decorating for Christmas. Multiple playgrounds and stables. I highly recommend this if you have small children.

    View from our campsite... so serene.

    Our favorite RV campground is within this park. It's a beautiful place - quiet, clean and very large sites. The site hosts are the nicest people and very helpful. This is our third time staying here and we just love it.

    What I love so much about Tanglewood is that every time you go, you can have a completely different and new experience! Go and enjoy nature. They have multiple walking trails, RV park, and an expansive botanical garden with even more scenic beautiful trails to get your zen on. When you're done, you can find a bench and take in the majesty that is the magnificent magnolia trees! Or, you can reserve a tee time and go golfing if that's your thing. I'm not one to hit a ball and go retrieve it, but you do you! You can also reserve a spot for horse riding! They have routes planned for pretty much all ages and skill levels. My wife took my 8 year old for her birthday, and they both had a great time! Neither had any prior experience. There are two playgrounds, picnic areas, and an old school coal burning train to marvel at and go in! Of course, there's also the pools and splash park, including a wading pool as well! There are several pools, and this area is massive! Plenty of room even on a crowded day! Then of course, there's the holiday lights show, which was nice but honestly not worth the terribly long wait to get in. No matter which season, Tanglewood is well worth the $2 to park and spend the day!

    The Tanglewood Festival of Lights has some awesome displays! The reason this review is low is because of the wait. On a Saturday, coming around 9pm, we waited about 2 hours before we ever got to the official entrance. Wish there was a better way to have this festival traffic controlled. There were plenty of portable bathrooms along the route because they needed them due to the long wait. Maybe paying in advance for certain time slots would alleviate the traffic. The light display was very cool, they worked at having those displays put up and maintained and not a bad price for $20 per car paying with cash or $23 per car paying with a card. It was too late to want to stop at the gift shop, which is about half way through the light display, I saw s'mores and a food truck available but was way too tired from waiting to get in. It took about 30 minutes to drive through. I was growing increasingly frustrated that the people behind me would not turn their lights off. I would only ever do this again if my kids really wanted to come again AND we came extremely early, I mean as soon as the sun went down, with a cooler full of snacks.

    Christmas light display season is here. Well worth whatever wait you endure to see this display. It's a must for us every year. They are fully masked at the gate and there is no other contact - bring $15 exact change and you will have no other contact. Shop is closed this year so no gifts can be purchased. I suggest rolling in by 5:30 PM on a weekday - gets you to the gate around 6PM and another hour to drive thru at about 5-7 mph. Lots of the lights are updated and bright - didn't notice anything new but the displays look good. Tune into 99.5 for the Xmas music and don't forget to roll your window down for the bells. Even the wait line is lit so make sure to enjoy before you pay to get in. The later you wait into December the longer it will take you to get in. Now is the time.

    We went here for the Christmas lights festival so it was at night. This was such a fanatic experience for my family and I. I've never experienced something like this. First my nephew told us it will take about three hours, I said what he did yup it may take up to the hours. Mostly waiting in line to see the light show and boy was he right. When we arrived we seem so much cars everywhere with so many police so I felt safe with so many officers around. You drive around in your car there where two lanes at first then it merged into one lane you pay $15 a car/ truck and then you proceed along your way. WOW WOW WOW who would have ever thought of this. So many lights displayed around the park. So many neat things to look at. We had our windows down so it was freezing like 30° outside. We also stopped to look at the souvenir store so I got some cute things to take back home.

    It is very fun for the kids ! The wait is a little long right at Christmas but very fun! 20$ a car with cash I have been going 5 years

    I give Tanglewood Park 4 stars, but based solely on the park and not the events it hosts! I've come to Tanglewood for years for leisurely hanging out in this beautiful enormous park! The beauty of it is unmistakable, and the upgrades over the decades is visible! Their hosting of the recent NC Wine Festival is a joke however! Their unmistakable lack of planning to park the masses in a timely manner, and then the lack of a system in place to allow as much sampling of the different vineyards on hand will ultimately keep me and others from returning! Paying for the VIP early entrance was a waste as 11:20am was the earliest we were all able to get through the slow lines. The individual vineyards were talking at length to each person tasting their product that it made your wait about 15 minutes per vineyard! For an event that's nearing two decades in length, the lack of systems in place is quite astounding!

    Can you skateboard here?

    Yes! one of my co-workers (also a lifeguard) boards to the pool all the way from the main entrance.
