My experiences with Bur-Mil over the years have been mainly to use the golf practice facilities,…read morebut I always see a lot of people enjoying the aquatic center and pool, lake, walking the trails, or using the event center. This is truly a full service park! That said, my review will focus mainly on the golf portions, with the park overall being a solid 5, and a must use for anyone in the Greensboro area. The driving range is just what you want and nothing more. A big open field to hit balls into, no frills, and also at a cheaper price than average. This is all I need, and all just about anyone would need at an amateur level. Distances are marked, and since it is pretty flat, you'll get a good idea for how far and straight you are hitting what. It's a popular place to practice, especially after typical work hours. The par 3 course... wellllll... it is less of a golf course, more of a hilly open area with some cutouts that would indicate a "green." There are 9 holes, the longest of which is about 130 yards, so no need to bring many clubs with you. The greens are about as rough as they get. There really isn't much of a putting surface. Too many weeds, and it's cut too long to get a realistic roll, I actually don't bother putting, because it isn't going to be good practice. There is also usually goose poop landmined around the course, the greens are no exception. The greens are also very small, none of which would be more than 25 feet in diameter, if that. The way I usually play, sticking the green from the tee is a birdie. Chipping up within about 5-8 feet is par. Anything outside of that, bogey. All this critique given, it was less than 10 bucks to play, really as much as you'd like. It does help you work on your short irons and wedges, and for that, I enjoy it and will return. Also, cheap beers in the clubhouse are just 2 bucks!

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!

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.

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.

To begin with i was riding pretty much through the side of the road. Then after a while it turns into the undone part of the trail, which even in broad daylight made me a bit uneasy and had spidey senses working over time. Once you get off the undone part though, it was gorgeous. The paved road is perfect to bike on, with great sculptures all along the pathway to keep you looking for more. The road itself was super smooth and it offered a nice mix of inclines and declined which made for a great workout Sadly I got a flat at E Bragg and Arlington so i had to walk back to my car after that, but I will definitely be back next time (will skip the undone part this time though) to finish this beautiful loop!
