So, Tuesday (a day off), I had been puttering around the house and finally decided to have a late lunch, when my phone buzzes. "I'm going to play pickleball." "Where?" "Walltown" "Are they playing there tonight? It's not listed on the DP&R website" "probably cause it's not permanent?" So, ten minutes later I'm on Club Blvd, just east of Broad Street. I parked in one of the lots, walked in and waved to my friend in the gym. They had the nets up, and one other person was there. I checked in and paid the nice lady at the desk $3 (I'm a Senior and a Durham resident), she strapped a wristband on me, and we spent the next hour swatting whiffle balls in air-conditioned comfort, rather than out in the heat, swatting bugs and fighting to breathe. The facility hosts a lot of different events for folks of all ages, judging by the flyers all over. There is a track around the gym upstairs, as well as weights and machines that were being very sparsely used on a weeknight. It was all very clean, well maintained, and the folks everywhere were friendly. As we left, we were reading the bulletin boards in the hallway about the history of the area and the facility. We peeked into a game room and asked the group of maybe 30 folks what card game they were playing. "Pinochle!" came the answer from half a dozen folks. Glad to know there are places like this near my home. I need to check out more of what the Parks & Rec folks are doing.

Be mindful that while CWR is interdenominational most speakers tend to be Southern Baptist, and the camp is true to the mission it outlines on the website. That being said, I'm so thankful to CWR for all the fun times, good memories, and ultimately introducing me into a relationship with God.

There's a ninja course, rock climbing, zip line, ropes course, and huge slides. And the best part is that it's all included in the ticket price! No annoying up-charges.

This is Duke! It's old, prestigious and has a gorgeous campus. My visit was late Summer of 2019 for…read morea swim recruiting visit that my son attended. The Wilson Rec Center is pretty central to campus and has student recreational activities. The pool is in the rear and is the only thing I saw. You can enter in front or rear for the aquatic complex. The building itself looks like "Duke". The brownstones are spectacular. Parking is reserved pretty much all around the building I found the visitors lot which is about a 3/4 mile walk. The area was clean and impeccably maintained. The aquatic complex is not as old as the building dating to possibly turn of the century. However it's no spring chicken either. Possibly built in the late 60's, not ruling out 70's. The pool and deck are maintained. Only faculty, staff and the swim and dive are permitted to use outside of special permission. My son enjoyed the pool. Although not a new pool it has underwent a couple of renovation projects over the decades. The most recent was around 11 years ago. The 25 yard pool with diving well is a nice set up for competition. Duke competes in the ACC Conference. The complex offers a compact spectator area on one side. Most reading this review will never get the opportunity to use the pool and probably never even see it. My son absolutely loved his time on campus and who knows could be a Blue Devil.

Kids under a certain age (I think 15) must have an adult next to them at all times. Yes, it is expensive for adults, $58, but worth it. You start with a rather long safety presentation, but it is necessary. You are not closely supervised while on the course, which is awesome but a little scary at first. However, there are workers nearby if you ever needed to yell out a question or something. The course seems to be broken into different parts, all of which begin with a climb up a ladder and end with a zip line. Most of the time, you are walking across different kinds of rope bridges of varying difficulty. There are some areas that were super challenging for me, as someone with practically no upper body strength. But you know you are safe the entire time so it's ok if you mess up. I loved the challenge. Anyone physically healthy will probably be fine, although sore the next day. :) I wish I could do this course as a workout every day!! The course was the perfect length. I was starting to get worn out by the time it ended. Some tips -The back of your shirt and pants will get quite dirty because you'll drag on the ground when you land after the zip line. Stretchy yoga/exercise capris are good choice. Be prepared to be dirty and bring a change of clothes if you need to look presentable afterwards. -You don't wear a helmet, so you could wear a hat if you felt like it. -Definitely wear sneakers or rugged shoes, like hiking shoes. -Don't bring ANYthing on the course you don't need. Leave your phone in the car (unless you want it for taking photos, but have a way to secure it to your body.) -Don't bring water on the course because there are water cups available in a few areas. -You may find some mysterious bruises and scrapes the next day and be sore.

The Community Center is very well kept and modern. It also features a Teen Zone for teens 13-17. They have activity rooms, a video game room, gym and indoor basketball court. We attended the Teen Hang Out event Friday night and the staff was excellent. Everyone was very welcoming and engaged very well with the teens. My daughter enjoys basketball so she spent a lot of time in the gym doing a small tournament and in the video game room. I appreciate how Raleigh Parks Dept invests in their parks and rec centers. I just wish they had Teen Zones in NorthWest Raleigh. We have to drive 25 minutes in traffic to visit teen zones like Saint Monica, Green Road and Tarboro. It would be fair if Brier Creek or Millbrook had a Teen Zone. Teenagers need a safe space where they can gather and feel supported and appreciated.

Both teams had uniforms, there were a lot of fans, some folks had cookout stuff and folding chairs. It looked quite exciting! Other than that ball game going on, the park has a large picnic shelter located next to the volleyball and tennis courts. There is a concrete-surface basketball court, four lighted tennis courts and two lighted sand volleyball courts. There are two baseball fields (the larger one is 350 feet to the fence!) and a woodchip-surface playground for ages 5 to 12. I would guess that normally there is enough parking here, but with the event going on, just about every space was filled and so were some "creative" spaces. [Review 11655 overall, 1437 of 2019.]
