The park has a walking track that runs about 3/4 of a mile. The park has soccer and baseball fields, tennis/pickleball courts and a picnic shelter. The playground for kids is in excellent condition with a three-story climbing tower and multiple slides. There are picnic tables nearby for the adults to sit while the kids burn off some energy.

In today's event it was nice to come out and check out the locals and see a couple of people from Johnson's Corner Farm. Like Aaron & some other people from there. It got a bit chilly towards 7PM but it was worth the wait because Little Georgie got a trophy for his 2018 GT Mustang. I'm so proud of him. Today was a fun, fulfilling day. I can't wait what else is in store for us in the present and future. Anyways, If you love cars like I do, this car show is the one you'll like to come out too. Go to the next one, you won't be disappointed!!! 'Vroom vroom'!

We came here with our two year old granddaughter on a Friday late afternoon. There were almost no…read morepeople here, which was great. This was our first time on any rides, and we went on the train first. The train made four laps around the track. For the first two lapse, our granddaughter was getting used to the train. By the third lap, she was OK and started pointing things out and enjoying it. By the fourth lap, it was all smiles and excitement. We also bought a ticket for the boats, and we're the only people there. But she was not ready to ride by herself, so that got nixed. We were going to get tickets for the carousel but the little one was getting tired so we left to head home. All of the people working there were super polite and friendly. The park was spotless and well maintained. The cost of the rides was only a dollar or a dollar fifty, which is a steal. They had snacks beside the ticket booth, but we didn't have any. All in all, this is a wonderful place for families or even couples to just enjoy the beauty. Five stars all day long!

Hahaha but this park is incredible for the size of town it is in. It not only has multiple poop bag dispensers but it also has multiple trash cans spaced all around the park. It has a nice watering facility that you could also wash your dog off with as soon as you come in the gate. It has a nice brick walk path all the way out to a nice brick patio that is right in the middle of the dog park that has benches and multiple places to sit down. It appears that someone has made a very nice watering station right in the middle of the seating area. They have multiple bowls and multiple bottles of water. The dog park itself is very flat and easy to walk around. Although the actual parking lot is kind of small. But there are plenty of old growth trees, grass, and all kinds of dirt and leaves!! But I am sure your puppy will enjoy it

It's really unfortunate because this site could bring in out of towners who will in turn spend money in the community. We love the outdoors and visit different hiking spots weekly.

This is where I would come to take walk or just sit in the grass and relax and take it all in. I've considered moving to NC and if I decided to make that move Burlington will definitely be where I'll call home.

And saw there was no reviews, tips, or photos. So I drove to it, passing it a couple of times before I realized, it was a dog park, on the edge of the park, across from the cemetery. Creepy. I never been to a dog park before, so I didn't know what I was looking for. It was two separate fenced in fields, about an acre each. One field is for small and older dogs. The other side was for large dogs. That's great because my puppybutt has a Napoleon complex. There were benches, waste receptacles, and water fountains inside of each. You must register before entering the park. It didn't take long to do. You can let your dog off it's leash, if you choose. I did so because there wasn't any other dogs inside the one I went into. However, you must be within ear shot of your dog, in case you need to call out to them. Kind of like a child at a playground. You want to be mindful. Most of the rules are common sense, but again, be mindful that you're not the only one there. All dogs entering must wear a collar (non spiked or choke), show tags, and rabies tags. Must be leashes entering and exited. No females dogs that are in heat. A max of 2 dogs per person. No children under the age of 16 without adult accompanied. No food, drink, or glass containers, no smoking, no alcohol, and no food are allowed inside. No aggressive dogs. I've been here a few times and it's always been pretty peaceful. Twice there weren't other small dogs present. That's probably because I went during the week, while 1st shifters were still at work. If you have a dog and are looking for a bark park, this one is a pretty good one to visit. Haven't had a bad experience yet and my dog seems to love the space.
