    This is such a special treat for people of all ages! Ample parking, affordable entertainment, and plenty of space for whatever you plan to do while you visit. We checked this out on a chilly December day, and we were pleased by the customer service (very friendly staff) and the full and operational heaters to keep us warm while in the sluice. My kids both loved this, but it was genuinely fun for all of us. We bought two of the $18 bags, and the kids spent about an hour emptying them in search of gems. We found lots of beautiful stones that now get sorted and played with a lot at home. Coming back this month for an outdoor birthday party - what a great option to keep kids entertained during this endless pandemic!

    We just moved to Cary and we were looking for something to get us out of the house. I found blue diamond on Google and we packed up and left. When we got there we had someone greet us and ask if we have been before. Showed us right to the cost of the buckets/bags and that was it. My kids had the best time! They are constantly asking to go back! The entire staff that day was so helpful! It's a hidden gem in Cary and we will definitely be back!

    Extremely friendly staff and we were absolutely amazed by how many gems we got for the price! We got over a pound out of their $20 bucket but their cheapest option was only $9, and for just $8 the kids were able to go in with their goats, play on their ninja course playgrounds, and explore their cave adventure! Definitely a new go to for outing for the kids. Really nothing like it in the area and they've been open 30 years and been owned by 3 generations of the same family which is so rare to see these days!

    Incredible park with something for everyone. Love love loved this park. It is in a nice shady area,…read morethere's playhouses, multiple picnic/patio table areas for parties and people to eat meals and/or snacks. It also has a big range of play equipment for different age ranges. Did I mention that I love this park? There are cool statues inspired from fantasy themes like a lion with a squirrel body or a tortoise with a hare's head as well as a giant sea monster on a hill, complete with a nest of eggs. There's also an area with water spray thingies. That's my best attempt at describing them. They had been off for the winter but they're back on since a couple weeks ago! The kids love it especially with the weather heating up!

    "Can we go to the dinosaur park, mommy?" I don't think he fully gets the difference right now…read more There is a large dragon sculpture that kids can climb on but there's no dinosaurs. The park is in heavy usage and it seems like due to this, likely, there are often things broken here. A bench, a fence, etc. There are multiple different play areas and a water play area. It's a delightful park to visit. We have played here for two hours straight. There is a covered picnic area that you can rent and people often do so for kids birthdays. The variety of play experience make this play so popular - sandbox with play excavators, climbing areas, platform rocks, a tree house area, dragon area, water play, slides and Roller slides, instruments, young kids play areas. This park is recommended (by me).

    Upon a recent day trip in Cary, I stumbled up the Urban Park and decided to take a gander. Located…read moreinside a small wooded, residential area close to downtown, it definitely gives off a neighborhood vibe. It's also easy to miss when driving down Chatham Street as the side of the park that faces the street is a mere 100 feet long. Cary's Urban Park has basketball courts, a water fountain, picnic tables, four swings [two standard and two bucket seats], a sandbox, bike racks, benches and two playground structures [one for older and one for younger ages]. The play structures seemed relatively new, being made of plastic and had some climbing walls, multi-slides and elements that are more modern. I learned from a local that was spending the day at the park with his two grandchildren that the park has been there for quite some time and he'd developed many found memories there, they have updated it in the past five or so years. If you plan to take a trip to Cary's Urban Park I recommend you use the facilities prior as there are no bathrooms located at the park. Also, plan around the sun! Although the park is located in a wooded area, the playground structures aren't very shaded [especially the younger child structure] and the plastic can get very hot. Overall, this is a great spot if you need a kid-friendly break from downtown Cary and is within walking distance. It is relatively quiet and doesn't bring in a large crowd and even adults can entertain themselves on the swings!

    This park is a hidden gem. It's a beautiful day and Pullen Park is so packed we can't even turn…read moreinto the parking lot because there is a line of traffic in the street both ways. Just kept driving down Western Blvd and stumbled in this park. Very nice equipment that's relatively new. There were only a few local families here on this gorgeous day which was perfect. Everyone could play on what they wanted too. Lots of shade and seating!!!! Well done neighborhood park.

When they have soccer its a chore to find parking but eventually you do. He loves the park. Write a great review and make it sound like me. Every time my grandson comes to stay with me, one thing is guaranteed we're going to this park. It's become our spot, and honestly, it never disappoints. The playground is perfect for kids. There are plenty of slides, swings, and even a sand area, which my grandson absolutely loves. He could spend hours there and still not be ready to leave. It's one of those places where you can just let them play, explore, and be kids without overthinking it. Now, I will say when there are soccer games going on, parking can be a bit of a challenge. You might have to circle around a little and be patient, but you'll find a spot eventually. And once you do, it's completely worth it. Overall, this park is a win for us every time. My grandson loves it, and seeing how excited he gets to go back? That alone makes it a 5-star place in my book.

    Another great park in North Cary! Clean restrooms; abundant parking with handicapped parking; lots…read moreof activity possibilities for grown ups and children alike. The kiddie play area is nearly fully shaded to boot, so there's not a bad time to enjoy all this park has to offer.
