There is a nice playground (out of service because of COVID, August 2020) that is in the shade with some seating for the adults who are supervising. There is a backstop and bleachers for one of the ball fields and it's close enough to the trees that you could find a shady spot to sit. The Campbell Creek and McAlpine Creek Greenways connect James Boyce Park to McAlpine Creek Community Park. The shelter can be reserved online.

A full--court basketball court, six tennis courts (sadly, not lighted) and a great playground. The large open field is good for soccer or football or just running around. There is a brick structure with restrooms, though they're currently (October 2020) locked for COVID. Please send karma to the clown who not only threw a bicycle in Sugar Creek but it looks like it's a kids bike and therefore stolen. I hate people. I took a nice walk around the park to try to get that out of my head. Thanks! [Review 14044 overall, 1366 of 2020, number 2670 in North Carolina.]

This probably makes the park little used, but open and available for your little ones and they won't get crushed in a crowd. The park also includes a few picnic tables under a shelter to eat lunch with Jr., and plenty of free parking on site. The playground has woodchips instead of sand for a cushion, so the kids don't get sand in their eyes ... a nice feature. This little hidden park is hardby one of the Greenways, and you pass the park when traveling the Greenway. Sort of hard to find, since it is buried in a residential neighborhood, but that's what keeps it a hidden gem. Recommended.

There is a walking path that includes a small bridge over the creek. I enjoyed the walking trail today.

Multiple play areas, including a covered shelter, and you might get lucky and have a train go by. It was nice to walk to the back of the park area and look out onto a stream. One of the street art place making projects the city sponsored is at the entrance and another is just a couple of blocks away at an entrance to a greenway path. A few swings, plenty of slides, and even some rock climbing knobs to get up to the two tallest slides. Perhaps it was because we were cooped up with the pandemic and this was only the second park we visited, but went with our older daughter and returned the next day with her younger sister too.

If you are looking for a quiet park, this makes the short list. It's a clean park with a playground for the kiddos, tennis court, 1 basketball hoop, a mini sandbox, and a rotunda. It would be ideal for a family party or picnic with friends. Plus, there is plenty of open space to throw a frisbee or play catch with your pooch. I just adore parks and this one was a pleasant surprise.
