Hey, what do ya know!? Another beautiful park in the Triad! This one is closely located to main…read moreroads, but removed enough to enjoy the nature while wrangling your kids along! This park has a walking trail that is paved and stroller friendly, and a couple of playgrounds intersect this on either side. Looks like one playground also contains a splash pad, but this was closed off when we went. Not sure if because it was still early in the season or if it's still shut down due to the pandemic. On the other side of the parking lot is a unique outside gym area with several pieces of equipment. Elliptical, stepper, pull-up bars, resistance trainers, and signage accompanying with instructions. This is under a canopy and looks well maintained. Adjacent to this is also a court area for playing horseshoes and pétanque. They also host a friendly and free pétanque league here! I had to look up what pétanque was, and seems like it's very similar to bocce ball. I might join up this summer! They gather on Sunday afternoons.

We loved all the colorful flowers and little creeks the park had to offer. It worked out well too that they have a lot of seating benches to sit on and rest my knee too. The park was built in the early 1900s and they have maintained it pretty well. There are some beautiful homes nearby to it and churches. It was nice to see during Easter Sunday the amount of families that were walking to services or leaving and walking through here. It is definitely a hidden gem to check out!

My college days have long been gone and wealthy I've never been And tho Dunleath Historical is where I bought, it's Fisher Park I dreamed of living in. For years and years at 7:00 a.m. I've donned my coat and hat and had my walk through Fisher Park, cuz baby that's where it's at!! The park is lush and evergreen with trails so easy to explore. And if you want to sit and rest, there are benches and rocks galore The park feels untouched and natural even though it's groomed by a neighborhood team. It's the place I go to not only walk but to meditate and dream. It's mini bridges made of stone are so beautiful to behold. I run my fingers through the stream. The water is clean and crisp but cold! There's a playground there with slide and swing for the kiddies to have a blast. There are majestic trees and historic homes to remind us of our past It's users are an interesting bunch. You never know what you will see. It might be a photographer shooting a wedding or a dog taking a pee! Just a few minutes walk from the downtown scene. This park is a gem to behold. I hope that God is good to me and I can come here even when I'm old. So next time when you need an escape and long for the sound of a lark, grab a cup of coffee, sit on a bridge and fall in love with Fisher Park!

Haw River State Park is like no other NC state park. We had a great time!…read more All 5 trails are clearly marked and our kept clear (so you can see where the trail is). The Great Blue Heron trail is 3.2 miles and has mile markers along the way to tell you how far you've gone, and takes you deep into the wilderness. You have to take the .4 mile connector trail to get to it. They have a wetlands boardwalk that takes you to the Haw River viewpoint. The viewpoint is small and the river is nearly standstill, but still is beautiful. The lake look trail takes you around the lake (obviously) and you can catch some turtles swimming in the lake! We saw one on a log. The piedmont loop trail is the perfect length to walk with your dog or small children. Mosquitoes are bad, but aren't aggressive (they just like to stay in clusters along the trail). In May there were zero biting flies like horseflies or yellow flies. It may be a bit of a challenge to park something big in here like an RV, but it's doable. The visitor center is at the summit access point, and is connected to the conference center. Restrooms are clean, and staff are kind!!

It has kids play area, for adults there is a big field for sports and courts for pickle ball and tennis. Across the street are short trails that run by a creek and goes about a mile. The trail goes straight with a few ways to branch off. There is a short bridge that goes over the creek and ends near the Silas Creek area. Along that trail is an open field and a small stand of bamboo trees to seek a little shade. The main trail ends at a busy road and there is another trail on the other side of this road. If you get tired there are a few benches scattered in different parts of the trail for resting, reading or enjoying the surroundings. The benches have plaques dedicated to family loved ones but my fave is the bench plaque that simply says "Pay it Forward"..... Food for thought while sitting there.

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

Muddy Creek Greenway Park is an approximately three-mile 10 foot wide paved, tree-lined trail that…read moreruns between Robinhood Road and Country Club Road. Frequented by walkers, runners, bicyclists, rollerbladers, and dog lovers, the trail also boasts fenced-off fields where you can sometimes see horses, and if it's the right time of day, you might see a number of deer lazily eating. I enjoy all these features whenever I am on the trail. Another one of the features that I enjoy and think is a great feature is easy access. Multiple feeder paths along the Greenway allow a greater number of residents who live close to the trail to enjoy its relaxing atmosphere and place to exercise. At the trail's two endpoints, adequate parking is available. Additional notes: -The dog-friendly nature is backed up by locations with baggies and waste receptacles. -On the safety side: The trail is not lit up at night and is very dark.

The over-walk bridge is a great concept but it is in need of some updating or basic repairs. Kind of rundown.

True to its name, it runs parallel to Salem Creek. I have no idea what the previous two reviews are about. Appears to be for some store but all of the pictures are of the Salem Creek Greenway. I think the other reviewers are freaking confused. This is a decent paved trail for walking or biking. If you are walking, keep in mind that someone on a bike can run up on you pretty quick so stay to the right. Dogs are welcome and it is a great trail for walking your dogs. The trail runs past a few parks including Washington park. You can also catch the Strollway to Old Salem and downtown if you wish. They have done a lot of improvements in 2017 on parts of the Greenway which has made it a lot nicer.
