Great place to stretch your legs for a bit. Love all the placards with tree and plant info on them, as well as a little historic information about the quarry.

You're treated to views of interesting rock formations, one in particular that may be considered "NSFW" lol! At the top there are views of a rock quarry below, picnic tables for the kids, and an overlook point where you can catch views of downtown Winston and Pilot Mountain as well, if you get the right sky for it.

I see a lot of cross country runner teams and they have a lot of matches there. But you can still enjoy the trails during matches. There is also a Baseball Field and a large field for activities such as soccer. Times vary depending on the time of year but I highly recommend this park.

It is a neighborhood park, surrounded by residences on all four sides. The size of a city block - 3.5 acres - it features a gazebo, a play structure, a bank-shot basketball game, picnic tables and a walking area for the Park Avenue neighbors. It was clean from litter and the "Bankshot" game looks like a whole lot of fun. [Review 1137 of 2024 - 3632 in North Carolina - 22161 overall]
