They have a indoor track on the second floor and they alternate directions each day. There is no charge to use the track. But to note, it does get pretty hot upstairs on the track, especially if you're running. There are no fans, open windows or moving air on the second floor. The equipment in the gym is decent. All the equipment functions properly. There are aerobic classes available for members. There is a variety of ways to bring a member. They offer after school, track out camps, and summer camps for the kids. There is an annual fee to hope your child's spot. They also have different senior programs. The cost for monthly membership cost about $1.00 per day /!; it last 30 days from whatever day you start it. I would recommend this facility. So many activities available to enroll in.

I've done at least 2 of their trails with the last being the Pott's Branch Trail. Pott's Branch is one of their easy trails at 1.3 miles. I recommend you wear tight/well fitting sneakers or boots as there are a lot of roots on the trails and you don't want to slip. Umstead does a great job of marking the trails and there were even paper maps available.

Lake Johnson Park is one of Raleigh's best spots when you want a workout that actually comes with a…read moreview. The 3-mile loop gave me the perfect mix of cardio, scenery, and just enough challenge to keep things interesting. The trail is mostly paved and very well maintained, but there are also a few off-road paths if you want to switch things up. The lake views are gorgeous throughout the walk, and the heavily wooded sections make it feel peaceful and shaded even on warmer days. I also appreciated that the trail has a few solid uphill stretches. I'd say it's ideal for intermediate walkers, runners, or cyclists looking for a scenic challenge without venturing into hardcore hiking territory. The only downside is the parking situation, which can get pretty tight during busy hours. Still, once you're on the trail, it's absolutely worth it. Raleigh really lucked out with this gem of a park.

There is also a flower garden, a mini lake, a picnic area, and plenty of parking available. We came on a Monday afternoon with the intention of going to the museum that is within the park, however, since it was closed we decided to walk around the park instead. We thought it would be 30 minutes and we would have walked the entire thing. We were wrong. The place is huge! We tried to say within the shaded spots but ended up walking through the parts without shade. There were so cute things like a little hut I dubbed the hobbit house because it kind of looked like one. There was an interactive art installation area with musical swings (apologies if these aren't the correct terminology) but you swing yourself and it triggers some musical notes. Way cool! Another installation were these bars you pull or push around which also triggers musical notes. We had a great time checking out some outdoor arts and taking in the scenery during our stroll. This park had so many interesting things to look at or in my case, take photos at with my long lost sister. Next time I am in the area, I am definitely coming here again. What a beautiful place!

It's air conditioned which is awesome. What a fantastic place for kids to play during the warmer days or rainy weather. Apparently it's the first rec center in Raleigh with an indoor playground and rock climbing wall. They offer a number of programs, camps, and rental options as well. They're closed on Sundays.

Fireworks were very nice and the open space was perfect for viewing the fireworks with no trees or buildings in the way.

It is well maintained and includes a greenway trail, shelters, bathrooms, playground and other items (see pics). The Deets: The Town of Morrisville really does a great job providing resources for its citizens, and one of the examples is the Indian Creek Greenway & Trailhead located across from Town Hall. This town provided facility has a playground for kids, two shelters with picnic tables, open area space in the middle, restrooms near the shelters and playground, arboretum, viewing deck near the woods with historical information, parking area, and an almost 2 mile greenway trail. The times I have visited this town park it has been maintained, clean, and kept well. The shelters appear to be available to be reserved for an individual/group by the listings I saw posted next to each shelter A and shelter B. The yard/green areas have been well groomed the times I have gone by there. The site playground is colorful and clean in appearance. This site is a valuable recreational asset for the residents of Morrisville and glad it well maintained for use, very nice!
