Bailey Park and the area of the innovation quarter in general, is such a nice urban oasis for when you are in downtown Winston-Salem and need a quiet place and some green to settle your mind. This is the perfect space to have a lunch as there are an abundance of tables and chairs for public use, and you'll have a great view of the fountains, green space, and the new/renovated buildings surrounding you. As far as facilities, there are public restrooms, a snack bar that is open on specific days and times, as well as a performance stage where I have seen some open air exercise and yoga classes holding a lesson every now and then. If you are a Pokemon Go player, there are many pokestops and gyms surrounding this area and within it. There is an abundance of free public parking all around the park, but sometimes even with all the spaces available, it can get full and difficult to find a spot. read more

Today we attended the free yoga in the park event! It started just as the sun was setting behind the buildings so the grass was cool and enjoyable! We brought our mats but I could see you doing the yoga on the grass or a towel if you did not own a yoga mat. Afterwards, our large group stood around chatting. The instructor actually approached our group to make sure we all had a good time; we did! Thanks Winston for another amazing social event! (6-18-2021) Most Sincerely, Dayla read more

Bailey park has always been a good spot to walk around, chill, and even eat at. Cute area downtown Winston Salem. The architecture is nice all around. Also food trucks stop here a few days a week. I know Urban street grill (one is my fave trucks) is here every Wednesday for lunch. Check them out!!! But the park is great they have tables and chairs for you to sit and do work at or even have a meal. The grass area is really nice as well. You can also walk around the park to get some exercise in. Sometimes they hold yoga in the park and work out sessions. Not sure of the schedules though. If you have free time, check out this cute little park downtown! read more

At the center of historic downtown Winston-Salem, Bailey Park is a peaceful oasis to enjoy some outdoor time and take in the sights. You can routinely find a food truck parked nearby too, or you can take a short walk and find a bite to eat from a number of places nearby. Parking can be a bit of a challenge on the weekend if you want a spot right on top of the park itself, and I discovered the hard way one parking spot that must've got hit by a meteor recently because they still haven't filled that crater in. Also got approached last time by someone begging for money, but that aside, this is a great place to stop and enjoy the nice weather when you're in the downtown area! read more

Nice park on the east side of downtown, heart of the Innovation Quarter. Lots of green space, water feature, and plenty of seating. Love the multi colored chairs and tables. Some seating areas with large umbrellas to give you some shade from the sun. The park also has restrooms which is a plus. Dog friendly. The park even has the doggie poop bags if you need them. Bike rentals next to the park. Recommend the park. It is a little bit of a walk to get to from the heart of downtown, but worth it. Lots of things going on in the Innovation Quarter section now, including bars and restaurants right across the street from Bailey Park. read more

From picnics out on the lawn to personal days off from work to enjoy a nice day with my daughter, it's a great place to unwind and relax. It's also super photogenic!

This is such an awesome addition to downtown! I went quite a few times this Summer for a variety of events. My favorite is Sunset Thursday's which is put on by Flow Honda. They bring in food trucks, bands, and it is an all around great place to spend a Thursday Summer evening. The park itself is laid out quite nice. It has a big concrete patio area with little cafe tables set up, then there is a big grassy area in front of the stage. They also have a large grassy area that is in front of where the food trucks. More importantly they actually have bathrooms. I'm pretty sure the park was designed by Stich, it's super modern and all around great event venue. read more

I'm glad they are finally done with this park. It is nice to walk outside and see people having fun with their dogs. Seeing the greenery. It's cool when they have concerts even though the ones that have come aren't my favorite. I really do want to see the bike races soon and it's a nice event right outside my front door. 4 stars because of the timing and I wish they would put on more events during the week to get people out. Again, just glad the construction is done and they finally made up their mind on the design plans. Let's hope they keep it going. read more

Found this hidden gem very close to Winston-Salem downtown and loved every but of it!…read more We headed there on a chilly Sunday morning (would have been nicer ifnit was a bit warmer though) and were very impressed with what this place had to offer. They had ample amount of parking space, from there it was a short walk to the kids play area, the giant man made cliff at the edge of the quarry and what seemed to be vast hiking trails. The kids park was supposed to be closed for renovations, but people were enjoying it nonetheless with the sign thrown to the side. The cliff was really nice too, you get a glimpse of the downtown skyline, the clean water filled in the quarry alongwith the giant flower (curious to know the purpose of that)! We walked around a bit and it was great place to fly a drone as well if you have it. Its a great place spend your weekend morning or evening and hangout.

This park has a walking trail that is paved and stroller friendly, and a couple of playgrounds intersect this on either side. Looks like one playground also contains a splash pad, but this was closed off when we went. Not sure if because it was still early in the season or if it's still shut down due to the pandemic. On the other side of the parking lot is a unique outside gym area with several pieces of equipment. Elliptical, stepper, pull-up bars, resistance trainers, and signage accompanying with instructions. This is under a canopy and looks well maintained. Adjacent to this is also a court area for playing horseshoes and pétanque. They also host a friendly and free pétanque league here! I had to look up what pétanque was, and seems like it's very similar to bocce ball. I might join up this summer! They gather on Sunday afternoons.

Great trail for walking, running, walking the dogs or riding a bike. The Old Salem section of the Strollway is a 5 star. The trail takes you right past Old Salem. You will pass right by the Old Salem Visitors Center and the Heritage Bridge. You can cross over the street using the bridge and visit Old Salem if you like. The trail in this section is wide enough for all people coming and going. If you follow the Strollway south you will end up at the Greenway, which you can take to Winston-Salem State or Salem Lake to the west, or Washington Park to the east, but that is another review. You do have to cross over a busy street (Salem Avenue) but there is a nice wine shop on the other side. The northern route past Old Salem takes you to downtown and ends at 4th Street. This takes you under Business 40 and past Corpening Plaza park. Nice part of this section is you end up right into the heart of all of the downtown restaurants on 4th Street. This section requires crossing 3 streets in downtown. The only reason I don't have the Strollway rated 5 stars is the section running under Business 40 can be a little sketchy. This will change after the Business 40 renovations are completed.

The food was also reasonably priced and had large portions, which was a nice surprise. They provided free bottled waters to guests as it has been such a hot July. I attended on July 7 with 4 adults. I did pay for a covered chairs for 2 which was worth the price. A disappointment was the rides and pools closed abruptly around 3:30 p.m. due to the threat of rain. While safety always comes first, it ended up not raining at all, so it was frustrating to lose several hours. Also, the staff had no idea and provided little updates when it did close. I wish there were more indoor or covered seating areas to escape the sun and enjoy a meal comfortably and possibly an adult area. I loved the lazee river was able to go around and around and relax. I also enjoy riding the edge it is so thrilling. Also note that on a normal day some rides (located in the back of the park) close an hour earlier than the park's closure and some rides open an hour later after the park opens (soak zone). You do have to pay to park. I had a fun visit and would definitely come back. Hopefully next time the weather cooperates a little better.
