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.

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.

This is for the Salem Creek Greenway, which is a 5.2 mile paved walking and biking trail running…read moreeast-west between the Market Place Mall (off Peters Creek) and Salem Lake. 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.

There are several put in and take out locations along the Dan River for tubing and rafting for all levels of experience. My husband and I rafted last weekend and it was a fairly smooth ride. There were a few rapids but none of them were above a level 2. The park is kept exceptionally clean and hammocks are readily available for those who wish to soak up the sun or just relax by the river. There are several local tubing/kayaking companies in the area for people looking to rent by the hour or day. Highly recommend for anyone that loves the outdoors!

If you can't figure out a way to spend a day outside somewhere in all that, you might just not like the outdoors! The Piedmont Environmental Center serves as kind of a trailhead for the High Point Greenway, as well as a system of lakeside trails that run along city lake and the golf course. The welcome center is attractive on the outside, though decisively could use a facelift indoors. Still, it has what you need. Restrooms, vending, information and brochures, and even a small exhibit featuring native snakes and amphibians from the Piedmont. I never pass up a chance to check out some snakes, preferably behind glass like these. The trails make a great place for a light intensity hike, a simple nature walk, or just a place to walk the dog. On my visit, it was an overcast and cool day in early spring, so it's not quite time for peak visitors yet. I prefer this time of year, things are quiet and serene, and the trees are just starting to bloom. There is no shortage of signage along the trails, and ample places to make sure you clean up after your dog. Another note, if you're a Pokemon Go player, there are no less than 12(!) easy to access gyms at both the major hub around the visitor center, and then several along the trails, not to mention a litany of Pokestops. Please only read this information and follow it if you're on team Mystic. The rest of you can feel free to forget you read it. All of this is free, so get out and enjoy nature as North Carolina provides in abundance!

This national park site is tucked neatly woven into the green belt of Greensboro. Right off of the…read morecity's Greenway, it's not even out of the question to bike to and from here. In my case, I live close enough to actually walk/run here and back. While there is a paved loop through the entire park which features an audio guide and numbered stops, it's actually a wonderful place to walk. In fact it feels almost European in sentiment as I rarely ever see cars driving through and more often see people walking, running, or biking. The park office and facilities are generally a bit outdated, but very informative about the park and the associated history of the American revolution connected to this place. There's a gift shop and daily staff there to answer any questions you may have. And the park teaches you perhaps the most important point: why the city took on the name of Greensboro. But I'll let you all visit and figure that one out for yourselves.

This is apparently a Revolutionary War site, and one that did not ring any bells for me as a…read morenon-historian. And yet, on a weekday morning, the place was packed. Apparently it is a popular hangout for locals in need of exercise (or with a dog). I got an extensive introduction in the visitor center, and after a brief perusal of indoor exhibits I walked the main loop. It had a variety of memorials and historical placards. The indoor exhibit also had placards, but these were supplemented by some hastily printed and taped on cards saying things like "additional context needed" while in most cases adding very little. Whoever came up with them probably thinks they are very smart, but I found the whole thing bizarre and best ignored. The trails are mostly paved, and offer a nice shaded walk on a hot day. I did not watch the historical documentaries, but they may be worthwhile. There is no entrance fee for the site.

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
