Bigger than a pocket park, this 2.8 acre space has a gazebo, picnic shelter, playground and swings,…read morea paved walking trail and a porta-potty. One of the picnic tables is under the shelter, the other four are around the area. There's plenty of parking and the park is set back a bit from the main road which means that there's a little bit less concern about traffic and noise. I sat here for a bit with my phone and watched the rain come down. It's a nice little spot. [Review 11583 overall, 1363 of 2019.]

I found a trail at this park on AllTrails and it looked nice so we decided to check it out…read more The beginning of the trail was really nice. It goes through a wooded area and down to the river. Then the trail suddenly becomes a disc golf course. Now the disc golf course seemed really nice, but I wouldn't recommend hiking a disc golf course. You're just in the way if people are playing. There's a nice lake later in the course. Overall, I'd recommend it for disc golf or maybe just to hang out at, but I wouldn't recommend walking through the disc golf course like AllTrails recommends.

On our park tour of the city we landed at Idlewild Road Park. This park is amazing. We only visited…read morethe playground area but loved it. The playground equipment is so cool. They have a bunch of really nice pieces I have never seen before. The playground is also huge. There is so many different areas to choose from. The only bad part is one piece of equipment isn't safe. My nephew decided to play incorrectly on the 4 person see saw piece and his foot got scraped up pretty bad. Make sure that your kids don't try to ride/sit/stand on the middle piece of the see saw. There were two groups grilling out at two different shelters close to the playground. They both surrounded the playground. The one thing that impressed me the most was how clean the restroom was. The restroom is super close to the playground too which is very convenient. This park is kinda far from me but I will definitely make the trip out here for the nibblings.

First off, the dog park is amazing. Huge with lots of space, separated areas for small and large dogs, agility play equipment, benches and the like. You must have a city dog license and it seems that access to the park is using an RF tag to open the gate. Nearby, an ADA compliant playground, fitness equipment and a disc golf course. And that's just half the park. On the other side, a regular playground with a splashpag, picnic shelters, a massive baseball/softball complex and walking trails and a mountain bike trail. Huge parking area. Many of the fields are lighted. And there is a public restroom near the playground. Wow! [Review 16906 overall - 3233 in North Carolina - 422 of 2022.]

The dirt baseball fields has a tall backstop and two caged areas for each teams benches as well as some bleachers on both sides that are behind fencing. [Review 12301 overall, 2085 of 2019.]
