They have a large community building which was open for people to use the restroom. They have two play structures and a swing set, all set atop a squish foamesq material. There is also a basketball court and a large dog park. Parking was easy, it seemed like most people had walked or rode their bike there, they are in the middle of a neighborhood and a Greenway stop. One play structure was designed for kids aged 2-5 and the other was for older kids. My son loved the baby swings! We will definitely head back to this playground again soon.

It is a huge…read morespace and includes a playground, large open field and a baseball fields (there's a additional huge gated open field through the trees heading towards the greenway), a basketball court and posts for a volleyball court. There's a large covered picnic area capable to seat 36-60ppl with 5 tables, 2 grills, $9/hour to rent but no electricity (Mami Nora's is down the street, so you could take your meal to go and eat it outdoors here!) The park includes a neighborhood center with a meeting room large enough to hold 85 people, rentable for $50/hour (which includes warming kitchen, tables and chairs). Overall, it's a good park, it seems to be a popular place to park and eat lunch on weekdays and a safe place to park and utilize the greenway.

This is an intersting park nestled in the Five Points area of Raleigh. I say interesting because…read moreit's the only park I've come across that has all sorts of kid's toys! My guess is when a neighborhood kid outgrows a toy their parents donate it to the park pile. It's great because there are all sorts of options, but not so great that a lot of items are pretty run down. A few metal items were super rusted and sharp. Makes way more sense to just stick with plastic here. My husband who is obsessed with germs was having a hard time coping with the place. The small playground has two baby swings, two kid swings, a play structures, large sand pit, and a play car pen. They also have a basketball court and a decent sized grass/field area. The only parking is street parking, but since it's in the middle of a neighborhood I had no problem parking. Across the street is Anisette so it's a good spot to grab a coffee then play at the park.

In 1808, he opened his first school, the site of which was located near the grounds of modern-day Chavis Park. There is rich black history here at this park. If you visit the community center on its grounds you can see the black and white photos adorning the walls of the center dating back to the 60's featuring the people of this African American community. This is a beautiful park that is home to the main attraction its early 20th-century carousel. Allan Herschell Carousel, showcases a Wurlitzer 146A band organ, oil paintings of waterfalls and other natural scenes, and thirty-six jumping, hand-carved, hand-painted horses.

In addition a playground, tennis courts, and a pool, the park offers a community center, picnic shelters, a gymnasium, a lit, outdoor track, a fitness center, and a game room. A half-mile of Raleigh's Capital Area Greenway traverses the park via Little Rock Trail.

The courts are set up in two rows with a gate/divider between them, which helps keep balls from rolling onto the other side.

They've also got these cement (or some sort of stone anyway) tables and chairs that are built into the ground. They are great for stopping to chill and have a snack or for playing chess. One of my favorite things about this park is that the big kids section and younger kids playground are pretty well separated as well as fenced in so you don't need to worry about your toddler running off and disappearing. The toilet here is pretty crap ngl but hey, at least they have a toilet st all. Look out for the birds in the summer. They will stare you down and follow you like you're treading on their turf and it's pretty damn intimidating haha RUN!!!

The park has a few benches here and there, especially the one in front of Cooper's Pond. I'm not sure if the pond is stocked, but being near the water was lovely.

We came for a birthday party and shelter was a great size. I liked that they had the two different play structures, one geared for older kids and one geared for younger kids. I also like the wood mulch as the ground cover. I feel like it cushioned the blow a bit for all the toddler tumbles! There were also quite a few people out on the trail walkers and runners. Parking was easy and on the day we went the playground wasn't too crowded. I would definitely return to this playground with my son!
