It's the kind of place you notice immediately because everything looks freshly maintained, from the landscaping to the walkways and it gives off a clear "we care about this space" vibe. The park has a covered picnic shelter, a large grass area and the bonus of public restrooms. There is parking nearby as well. The park leans more towards calm and contemplative rather than active. Other than the cute painted piano, there is nothing active here. They don't have any playground equipment or splash pas or sports fields. If you're looking for swings and slides and ballfields, head to Rich Park a mile or two away. Main Street Park works best as a clean, simple downtown green space. A spot to pause, breathe and maybe bring your takeout lunch from the pizza and sub place across the street. [Review 599 of 2026 - 4687 in North Carolina - 25780 overall]

There is no playground equipment, walking trails, tennis courts, etc.. Now, there is some open green space in the back if you want to throw a football around or goof off. There are a few benches, picnic tables and of course a really nice water feature. There are also restrooms which are new and clean. Nice place to rest if you are hanging out in downtown.

Horizons Park, located off Germanton Road in Rural Hall is one of the best disc golf courses you…read morewill find. This 18 hole course, complete with concrete tee boxes, accurate distance markers and free course cards is one of the best kept secrets in town. The grounds are well kept - leaves are raked in the fall, grass is cut all summer, and tee boxes are clean. The baskets are sturdy and level. Easy enough to not embarrass beginners, but plenty of challenge for tournament golfers to play under par. I've played quite a few courses in my day - from New England to Florida, California to Washington, and Horizons is one of the three best courses I've ever played. It gets crowded on beautiful weekend days, but never so much that you have to wait. Grab a disc and head on over. 5 stars for a top notch public park.

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 The park office and facilities are generally a bit outdated, but very informative about the park and the associated history of the American revolution connected to this place.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.

This is apparently a Revolutionary War site, and one that did not ring any bells for me as a…read morenon-historian. And yet, on a weekday morning, the place was packed. 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.

Religious migration of MORAVIANS from the North Eastern states. And ultimately the MORAVIAN RELIGION hails from Germany from the 1400's. Their church emerged from the Hussite movement, which predated Martin Luther's Reformation by over 50 years. This park honors a long heritage, that laid the foundation that predates both Winston and Salem, now Winston-Salem. This public park hosts several festivals a year. And it hosts outdoors summer concerts that can be held under a open air shelter. Great for families and peoples or all ages and their pets. Nice and flat for strolling. The grounds houses structures and reconstructed structures from the original settlement back to 1753. Several of the structures house demonstrations for the living skills needed back then: food production, black smithing, etc. A modern welcome center has a model reproduction of the center and is a sort of mini museum. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to educate. There are presentations in the center on the history. Nice bathrooms are there also. And a limited # items are available for purchase and I believe funds go to support the park. The main old structure is a house of worship with an organ that dates from very early on. Consider HISTORIC BETHABARA a quicker trip that to say WILLAMSBURG in VA (granted that is larger and more historically important on a National Level) but nonetheless a way to take a quick step back in time. Also consider OLD SALEM a little to the south in Winston-Salem. Another MORIAVIAN SETTLEMENT (really a follow on, since BETHABARA was meant to be temporary whilst SALEM was planned to be permanent). More along the lines of a mini-WILLAMSBURG. With a reopened TAVERN restaurant. And historical sites and demonstrations to experience. And SALEM is the home to the 1st ever official 4TH OF JULY celebration in the Nation. And back to HISTORIC BETHABARA, take a stroll through the vegetable garden housing genetically same fruits and vegetables that were grown back in the 1700's. Salem also has the same type of gardens.

It was quite fun to try the food that was a representation of what they would have eaten during that time period and see it cooked over a fire. It was very delicious too! The staff was so friendly and genuinely happy to answer any questions and include us in the process. I admired their authentic outfits too, it was like being transported back in time. The grounds are beautiful and the walking trails go much further than I had anticipated. There is also a creek in one section of the park, which is a peaceful place to cool off on a summer day and also a great place for kids to explore freely. I have not personally been to one of their festivals but have heard nothing but good things in regards to them. Overall this is a great FREE place to visit. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms!
