The park has a proper 18-hole disc golf course with concrete tees. Basketball courts with lighting, tennis courts with backboards and a lighted softball field. While walking one of the winding trails, I spotted a number of picnic tables. Some of them have grills. The basketball court looked to be in excellent condition though not lighted. The tennis courts were lighted. Awesome. [Review 2442 of 2024 - 3898 in North Carolina - 23455 overall]

You basically go through a neighborhood and head right into the park at the end of a neighborhood street to go into the main section. We went on a nice Saturday in January and the park was super busy with disc golf players. It definitely seems like the thing to do here. They also have a large tennis court people were using. I went over for the playground. I thought the setup was great. They had four baby swings and a nice smaller play structure for toddlers. They also had a big play structure for older kids, multiple swings, little bouncy car things, and a sand pit with digging toys. It's in a wooded area so I think in the Summer it would stay a bit cooler and still a place you could go play.

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.

Since that's a growing theme during these hot days. I would like to think that the city treats the trees properly. Overall, Fred Fletcher is a beautiful park. So many places to hide away in nature and be at one with nature. There is a convenient bathroom on the premises in the historic homes. Plenty of parking. There is a private lot and on-street parking. The parking here was effortless for me. Great park for a day date picnic, family time, or events that are being hosted at the park. I look forward to returning in late fall when the weather is tolerable temperature.

I have a little kid, and we love the library and having free story time. Yesterday, however, we…read morewere able to experience the walking trail a brand-new playground for the first time, and were really disappointed. The walking trail was fine, clean, and a little hilly. There were a lot of people and well-behaved pups on leashes enjoying the beautiful weather. However, the actual paths were covered in a thick carpet of pine needles, so people were slipping and sliding everywhere (in dry conditions). I would think there's a way for trees to be pruned so as to provide for a safer walking trail (see Lake Lynn's trail for an example). My primary issue was with the new playground. Whoever designed and selected it does not have children. And has never been around children. I think the only kids who would enjoy it are 8 year olds without their parents nearby to stop them from climbing to the top of the structures and jumping off. The floor is that rubberized mat, which is nice. There's a large swing for multiple kids to use, which is fine but often not super popular. No regular or baby swings, which is a bummer. The structure for little kids is barely adequate - basically just a couple of platforms and a spinning toy that seemed to contain trash and a couple of balls. No slides, covers, puzzles.... really anything interesting. I'm not sure if the play structure is more an abomination or an art piece not meant to be played with, but it's certainly bizarre. The only slide has NO sides to prevent one from falling - it's just a steep piece of metal designed to cause harm. The other thing that looks like a slide from behind is for climbing, and has a railing straight down the middle. Why not on the side? I cannot explain. There are lots of rope webs for climbing, which will prove fun for some kids. But the platforms are not practical for standing or climbing, and it's mostly simply an unusable hazard.
