I wish the tennis courts allowed for pickleball, especially because they have lights and we don't really have any lighted options in Winston (except out in Old Town). That said, there is a bit of a homeless problem in the area that seems more manifest at night. Just a heads-up.

There's a track as well but I'm not sure if this is part of the park or the school. You can walk on the trails that go parallel to Peters Creek. They have several bridges you can use to cross back and forth. The trails do go under the Glade Street bridge on the south side (park boundary ends here). The bridge is a little sketchy with all the liter and graffiti. Never had any issues though. Overall, Hanes Park is a nice park to enjoy the day. Dog friendly too.

Of course, they are able to pull these courts together a couple of times a year if they are hosting a big tournament, but in terms of day to day play by members of the community, this jewel of public tennis has lost its shine. I can only hope that the City of Winston-Salem cares enough to do something about it.

The Joe White Tennis Center has been replaced by a for-profit, well-oiled machine of a private…read moretennis academy called the Randy Pate Tennis Academy. Up until a few years ago (2009?) the Joe White Tennis Center located at Hanes Park was a public community institution that was open to the public for reasonable rates. For whatever reason, the City of WS chose a private company to manage the courts - in this case, the previously Statesville-based Randy Pate Academy. The academy, for all intensive purposes, is a high-end junior tennis factory. On most days, you will see a couple dozen kids running around slapping hundreds of balls in organized workouts. In recent years, it has produced many top-ranked juniors and attracted even more. Unfortunately, for the general community, court availability has gone down, while prices to play have gone up. And if you want to play during hours when the Academy is not running, the courts will be locked up. No more free court time for the neighborhood kids that used to be able to come down to the park and learn the game. Same for the casual tennis player. If you want to play, you will be paying for private-level court fees. These ain't your father's public courts. Whether you support the privatization of a long-time public park or not, calling it the "Joe White Tennis Center" is a mistake. I say remove the sign, and call a spade a spade. It's the Randy Pate (Private) Tennis Academy, located at Hanes Park.

There's a nicely sized play structure for the kids which is completely fenced in, which is nice for peace of mind. A bench, a water fountain that doubles as a mister (which all the kids LOVE on hot summer days). There are tennis courts next to the play structure, as well as a decently sized free parking lot. If you walk behind the parking lot, there's a small path that goes down a hill to a small bridge, which my kids love visiting. We took some informal fall pictures at this park last year -- the leaves were gorgeous! I get compliments on this photos all the time. If you're looking for a quiet park where it's incredibly easy to keep an eye on your kiddos, this is a great choice.

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.

It's so nice to have such clean facilities with locks on the door that work properly. Unfortunately so many of the bathrooms at public playgrounds are a disaster but that's not the case here. The picnic benches are close by so if you want to sit and watch your children play you are still within reach. The walking trails go on for miles and are all paved. Great for walking, running, riding bikes or scooters. On the other side of the park there are basketball courts, workout stations, a dog park and a baseball field. This is a great part to consider if you want to reserve a shelter for a party. Everything about this park is beautiful and historic.
