Lots of space for walking trails here and with the tall trees, it's a nice opportunity to spend some time with nature. There are a number of entrances to the park from the neighborhood off Capps Hill Mine Road. Firestone Road is not the right one as there are "no parking" signs here.

You down with OPP? Yeah you know me!…read more Now that I got that out of the way, Olde Providence Park (OPP) is a pretty neat and rather large park tucked into the back of an old neighborhood. Seems to have a lot of history in the area and you can tell the facilities and ball parks have been here a while. It's also conveniently connected to an elementary school for the kids to use during the school day. There are at least seven baseball fields and three full playgrounds. There's one large open field area that could easily be used as a small soccer field. My favorite feature is a meandering nature trail that runs through the forested area around the back and sides of the park. Along the trail you can even find two large seating areas for outdoor classrooms and nature-based learning. The parking situation seems limited as you're using the school's lot and the bathroom facilities were closed on a day when no games were happening. Good thing they also had a porta-potty out there. For a Sunday afternoon "walk in the park" though, this place is great. Quiet and peaceful.

First off, the dog park is amazing. Huge with lots of space, separated areas for small and large dogs, agility play equipment, benches and the like. You must have a city dog license and it seems that access to the park is using an RF tag to open the gate. Nearby, an ADA compliant playground, fitness equipment and a disc golf course. And that's just half the park. On the other side, a regular playground with a splashpag, picnic shelters, a massive baseball/softball complex and walking trails and a mountain bike trail. Huge parking area. Many of the fields are lighted. And there is a public restroom near the playground. Wow! [Review 16906 overall - 3233 in North Carolina - 422 of 2022.]
