Huge PUBLIC tennis complex in Raleigh. I can't believe how great this is. There must be at least 13…read moretennis courts for your free use. If you want to reserve a tennis court there is a fee of $5. The tennis center offers a variety of tournaments and tennis classes. They also have two ball machines. To rent them you can call in and reserve up to a week in advance. One hour is $12. There are also yearly memberships where you can use the tennis machine once a week for $125 a year or every day for $225 a year. The tennis center has bathrooms with showers and in the tennis center office were the staff is working you can also find an ice machine for your coolers/drinks and a water fountain. There used to be another water fountain right beside the restrooms but that one is not operating anymore. The only thing I wished they would implement is a way to reserve the tennis machine/courts online or through an app as it would facilitate to have an overview for when they are free and you could also book outside of their business hours.

Decent park located right next to Fayetteville Elementary, so be warned it gets noisy during…read morerecess. The park includes two gated basketball courts, a grill and small picnic shelter with picnic tables. Field lights and eight gated tennis courts with bathroom and water fountain. A small playground which is slightly separated from the rest of the park (by trees). If you don't live ON the American Tobacco Trail, it might seem overwhelming to find an access point. However, Elmira Avenue Park could make for a convenient place to park and run. There's direct greenway access to Rocky Creek Trail, which will lead you to about the 2 mile point on the ATT. What makes me second guess this park is it's location. There are so many regularly trafficked very safe feeling parks, and Elmira isn't one of them. It's proximity to a lower socioeconomic demographic leaves me feeling slightly on edge and very aware of my surroundings. Overall, this wouldn't be a park I'd spend a lot of time at, but makes for a good spot to know about if you need to stop along the ATT in case of bathroom, water or parking needs.

The Carolina Railhawks are in the second tier of American soccer. That's kind of like being in the…read moreEnglish League Championship, except without promotion/relegation. So they're like Nottingham Forest, which is an actual team, and not the place Robin Hood lives (for the purposes of soccer). They play against teams like the Atlanta Silverbacks, FC Edmonton, and the new New York Cosmos (starting in the fall season). That being said, Carolina Railhawks games are a great time. Beer is relatively cheap ($5 for a giant can of Bud Light/Landshark/Stella/Red Hook), and there are no bad seats (though there are cramped seats). That being said, you can easily buy less cramped seats in the 300 sections (though 309 is for the ultimate faithful fans, so if you're a big fan, hang out there and sing all the songs and whatnot). The Railhawks themselves are a good product on the pitch. I saw them play in the US Open Cup, the national tournament for all US Soccer teams (though usually won by the MLS team that cares the most... usually Salt Lake, Kansas City, or one of the two Northwest teams). The Railhawks beat two MLS teams in a 3 week period (the LA Galaxy AND Chivas USA, thereby conquering the city of Los Angeles for the Triangle). They may have eventually lost to Real Salt Lake, but they went out as the last team in the 2nd tier. So go see a game. The games are good fun.

As…read moreevidenced by the horde of faithful fans who waited through quite a rainstorm and many false starts (You may now be seated. Nope, we've just received word that lightening is still within three miles of the stadium; please exit the bleachers!). The game that should have begun at 7pm was delayed till 8:30. But then we played ball! (Is that slogan only used with baseball?) It was a vs Miami game and I was pretty impressed by the speed and skill demonstrated by both teams. With a dad who still plays the sport at age 54 and a brother who left the womb in cleats, I've seen my fair share of games. Though I ended up leaving at halftime (I'd spent 4 hours at the field!), I would have no trouble watching a full game here and not getting bored. I might leave a separate review for the facility; but for those reading this one, note that parking is $5; beers (mostly bud and miller) are $4. There are individual seats on the bleachers that cradle your bum. And there's a grill offering cheesy nachos and basic ballpark food.

I'm attaching pictures but basically there are fallen trees, wobbly stairs, and parts of it have fallen apart completely. I would be scared to let children play here. I hope it's not indicative of how they treat their facilities and families. It's in the middle of a neighborhood so it seems like a lot of people could benefit from the upkeep. Hopefully they will fix this soon!

However, in all fairness, Garrett Road Park offers your typical park needs, although somewhat sparse. They've got a NEW modern, metal playground, picnic shelter and tennis courts. There's a lovely pound [no fishing allowed] and plenty of parking. Since it's located across the street from Jordan High School, I would assume it gets a lot of activity, although as of yet, I've hit it while school is in session and haven't seen any kids playing hooky here. Overall, a decent park, but since there are so many better park options in the area, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this one.
