Camping hours locks you in after closing with private access should you need to exit. Ranger is a friendly bloke that was so helpful. Peaceful, full hookups and onsite black tank disposal. Note, it's a public park - so you're not going to have control over whom your neighbours are, but we got lucky and the possible problem guests were leaving as we arrived (yay!).

There's also a carousel, a barnyard to pet farm animals, an aquarium/exhibit with live animals inside of it in the nature center, a splash pad, mini golf, trails for walking, and some wildlife habitats outside that have wild animals as well. We didn't get to do the train, as it was closed; but there was still so much to enjoy at the park. Me and my bestie brought our kids and they had a blast! We spent a solid 2-3 hrs there and had a great time. It's also very inexpensive!! Some things that I will say is that the bathrooms are not very clean and don't even work but it's an old place, so that's to be expected and we're not there to use the restroom, we're there to play! Bring cash for extra things, like carousel, barnyard, animal exhibits, etc...sometimes their card reader doesn't work and they can only accept cash. There's even a cute place to shop where you purchase tickets for everything with toys and snacks inside! All in all, we had a great time! Keep in mind this place is old, but it definitely still has charm, and stands out against the other parks around. The animal exhibits, including the barnyard petting activity is a hit or miss, because this place is not a zoo. The animals have plenty of room to hide and/or roam to get space, which is a great thing!!! But some people might be upset after paying and not really being able to see the animals. Highly recommend!!! Go if you haven't!!!!

This well maintained facility with public restrooms, and a large covered pavillion also has RC tracks and an airstrip, a dirt course for bmx, and what appears to be a gravity race track. Hence the Hobby Park name. There is loads of parking on the property and access to all the tracks as well as a large open wooded area with trails. We come here to walk and enjoy the open space. Theres a group of RC airplabe folks that I've seen using the airstrip and only a few folks running model cars, otherwise the place is pretty empty. Not sure if the park hosts events but on all of my visits there has never been more than a handful of people. 4.5 Stars a really unique park that appears to be under utilized and definitely worth the time to visit 01168

The main trail is a mile long and circles through the trees and around the lake on the other side. Its a very nice walk. You will pass families enjoying the picnic areas and grills, lots of families on the trails with their little ones on bikes, and fishing. Everyone you pass is normally pretty friendly with hellos and encouraging words as you pass each other. There is also a large trail that branches off from this trail. I see a lot of cross country runner teams and they have a lot of matches there. But you can still enjoy the trails during matches. There is also a Baseball Field and a large field for activities such as soccer. Times vary depending on the time of year but I highly recommend this park.

After driving 9 hours on our way to the NC shore, we decided to stop for the night. We checked in…read moreto our hotel and decided we must stretch our legs and do some walking. A quick search indicated that this greenway was nearby. What a great find! The paved path is approximately 1/2 -3/4 mile around a beautiful lake and includes several beautiful wooden bridges for taking photos, fishing and viewing the lake. The entire area is well-maintained and is wheelchair friendly. There is a large pier at one end of the lake for fishing and many fishing spots around the perimeter of the lake. The paved path is not directly by the lake, rather up the bank from the water's edge. There are several benches placed along the path for resting or taking in the scenery. We saw geese, ducks, turtles, and rabbits. Had we stayed longer, I feel certain we might have seen other wildlife. There was not a dedicated parking lot, but cars were parked along the road in the bike lanes. If I lived in the area I know that I would be a frequent visitor!

My Dog Napoleon thinks it's his park and insists ongoing there for every walk. Most people are respectful and enjoy the green area and also clean up after themselves if they have dogs, however there are a few in the minority that aren't as community minded. Saw two other large dogs with owners who could barely control them. Unfortunate because there are a lot of children and people playing near the water area and the playground area. Highly recommend one of my favorite parks of the city. They also have concerts and events like movies here.

There is a huge green in front of a bandshell that is an amphitheater. Lovely public restrooms. A neat shaded walk with picnic tables and a gazebo. A beautiful fountain.

It's a fabulous open space and Salisbury is fortunate to have it. [Review 1142 of 2024 - 3637 in North Carolina - 22166 overall]
