Parking was right near the playground and close to the pavilion. They had paved handicapped parking spaces. The equipment looks brand new and they have hand sanitizer units on every section. They have shade umbrellas, 2 sliding sections, lots of climbers, 2 full swing sets, teeter saws, a sand volleyball pit and it looked like they're still developing. So happy to have found this place!

We played on the side next to the tennis courts and it did have some updates. 1 of the slides was repaired, which was nice to see. They have a sizable restroom and lots of picnic tables under a pavilion. There are baseball fields and a paved walking path all the way around the park. They just installed a new fitness center for adults in the farthest field from the SRAC. My personal favorite is the playground with the pirate ship and rubber mats under all the equipment. My only complaint for today was that they had fresh mulch delivered, it looked like it was sitting, waiting to be spread and it was on top of one of the slides so the equipment couldn't be used. Other than that, it's a great park!

Its a very nice park that you can take your kid to play and walk. also has a green way that is 6…read moremiles. 3 miles all the way to downtown Smithfield and 3 miles on the way back to the park. I highly don't recommend coming when they are cutting the grass. The people that cut the grass don't care if they hit ur car. I had a guy blowing the grass off the cement with the leaf blower and he would blow the air on my car mind you I was inside my car and he could see me. I had several tiny rock hit my car as he was blowing air into my car. I would think its common since if your using the weed eater or an leaf blower you have the use it so when u cut the grass nothing would fly onto the cars or the people but they don't care about that so there is grass, rocks and stick thrown up in the air which can hit a car or a person!

Playground for the smaller kids maybe ranging from 1-10, swings, a green space for older kiddos that may want to bring their balls or fly kites, a trail if you want to get in some steps and even a splash pad for when it's warmer out. There are toilets and even a shelter if you wanted to host a party. My kids really enjoyed their time there and they are 7 and 3.

There is normally a food truck or two always there. The playground has everything kids would need, swings, lots to climb on, a structure built in the shape of a train. The kids have a fantastic time. I do agree with another poster that the shape of the playground makes it difficult to keep an eye on your child. Otherwise, it is great.

Beautiful, spacious park in Garner! I visited Lake Benson Park mainly because I heard about the dog…read morepark. I stopped by on a Thursday night and the park was packed. Lots of kids on the playgrounds, people walking on the paths, and dogs in the dog park. I enjoy seeing parks full of people enjoying the outdoors. Pros: -Large dog park with separate areas for large and small dogs -Dog park is free for anyone to use (no pass required) -Clean park -Ample parking in lots or along the road -Beautiful, respectful veterans' memorial -Labelled areas and trails -Ample areas to sit -Multiple playgrounds and shelters Cons: -Dog park is open to anyone so the dogs may not be fixed, vaccinated, or well-trained -Most of the driving paths are not paved. This kicks up a lot of dust -Lots of bird poop on signs and benches. It's an outdoor park so this is understandable. Bring a towel if you plan to use the benches

There are ball fields and a paved walking path around them. There is also an older playground area behind the newer. The park is kinda hidden if your not familiar with the area, you drive through a residential area and it kinda opens up at the end. There is plenty of parking and I always see maintenance crews around to keep the park in the best condition! This is a great find if you're looking for a place to occupy your kids for a few hours.

They use to have a big slide that was alot of fun & they had seesaws. Maybe too many people got hurt and they removed the seesaws but that was the best part about the left side. The slide, last time I saw it - wasn't in the best shape. But that's just normal wear and tear. The right entrance however, big playground - lots to do. I had fun here even as a teenager. I still occasionally come here to walk the trail, I like this park alot. Lots of good memories here.

There is a train ride through the park with all sorts of lights and Christmas displays. There are numerous free activities and crafts for kids of all ages. There is even a gorgeous carousel ride that seats many. It doesn't hurt that it is inside so you can warm up from the chilly outside. There is even remote parking with comfy buses that will take you to and from the parking lot and the park. It is a great experience and our grandkids ( and grandparents) have such a great time.

It's a play space and cafe! Brilliant. My kids looooooved it. So many toys and areas to explore, and even an18 months and under specific area that my 16 month old adored. He ran right to it. There's even a separate back room with different activities set up depending on the day. We went on arts and crafts day so it was set up with those activities and my daughter especially loved that. Tables surround the play space so if you're trying to multi task and get stuff done while your kiddo plays--it's doable! Plus the in-house coffee shop is clutch. I got a cold brew and my husband got a coffee. I also have to comment on how clean and new this place was. Even though it's a kids space it was pretty immaculate. All of the toys were in good shape too. Very impressive. My sister in law is a member and I definitely would be too if I lived in the area! A must!

We stopped here for the dog park and then explored the rest of the park. We started with running on the sidewalk until we came upon the hiking trail entrance. We were excited to check out the trails. The sign at the trail head listed labelled trails and their length. We started down the main trail and did not see any trail markers. We kept walking and found a blue trail marker. We decided to follow the blue trail, however, tried several paths before finding the next blue trail marker. I'm not sure if we kept missing the paint markers or if they washed away in the rain. With all the paths and erosion, permanent trail markers should be added. Bridges can be found along the trails crossing over eroded creeks. After not finding another trail marker, we decided to head towards a nearby road and found ourselves at a school. Overall, we still had a good time exploring the park and recommend this park to others!
