We didn't get the chance to explore most of the park but everything looked nice from a distance :) There were a LOT of people playing pickleball too. I'm not sure if there are multiple parking lots, but the one we parked in was quite small but still had a few open spaces. Overall, would definitely consider coming back here, especially on my own so I can walk around and explore a bit more.

The Raleigh Rose Garden is one of the City of Raleigh Parks. It is a treasure in Raleigh, located…read morebehind the Raleigh Little Theatre. The garden was officially dedicated in 1951 and remains one of three accredited rose gardens in North Carolina. The area has a fascinating history. The sunken, oval-shaped space was a dirt race track back when the NC Fairgrounds was located there. Then, during World War I, the space was converted into a training ground for Camp Polk's combat tanks. The racehorse track and the combat tank training trench were reimagined into the space we get to enjoy today. The mud hole was drained, and the land was reshaped by volunteers. The tier-terraces were a way to keep the water from washing away the future flowers. The amphitheater was constructed first, and it took years for the rose garden, as there was no budget for it during World War II. Nurseries, community garden clubs and even private individuals donated the rose bushes and native trees, Normally, there is a free parking lot, but my visit today had the lot blocked off as a tree brought down power lines. So there was parking available on the streets surrounding the gardens. My visit today was short: it was 97 degrees out, and my phone overheated during my stroll. I realized I might be overheated, too and made my way back into the air conditioning. It is a stunning, historic oasis that is well worth the visit--just remember to bring a cold bottle of water on hot afternoons!

Bond Park Lake Trail is such a lovely spot for an easy outdoor escape in Cary. The trail is about…read morehalf paved and half unpaved, which made it feel a little more natural while still being very accessible. It was especially great for dogs -- there were so many happy pups out enjoying the trail, and the atmosphere felt super friendly and relaxed. A huge plus was how shaded most of the trail is, which made the walk comfortable even on a warmer day. The lake views along the way were beautiful and peaceful, and there are plenty of large grassy areas throughout the park that are perfect for picnics, tossing a ball around, or simply lounging outside with a book. The park itself is also very well maintained with lots of parking, clean restrooms, and helpful amenities. I also liked seeing the workout stations scattered along the trail for anyone wanting to turn their walk into a little fitness moment.

Police did a great job directing traffic and long lines of cars. Large parking lots available and restrooms. Everything was very organized, and even though the crowd was large, it moved very smoothly. We parked in a neighborhood and had no problems getting out onto the main street. Fireworks were very nice and the open space was perfect for viewing the fireworks with no trees or buildings in the way.

Wake County's first new park in over a decade, Beech Bluff County Park, opened in Willow Spring in…read moreMarch 2025! This park is over 300 acres and includes walking trails, community gardens, playgrounds, picnic shelters and classrooms. I could not wait to go to this park as soon as it opened as it is only 5 minutes from my house. This area of Wake County is limited on safe walking trails and Beech Bluff has solved this problem. There are six walking trails in total - 3 that are ADA accessible and 4 that are natural surface trails. Each trail is a half-mile long or shorter. I have walked almost every trail and I really like them. They will be shaded during the summer and are wide enough throughout that no one has to stop to pass by other groups. Now for the playground. There is an area with four swings - two regular swings and two adaptive swings, a tall playground with two very long slides, and a smaller play area meant for toddlers. There is also a rock climbing wall. There is seating around for parents and a good amount of space between the two playgrounds. This area is not very shaded; I can imagine the equipment getting very hot and it being uncomfortable for parents to sit and watch their kids in July and August. There is a shelter near the toddler playground, but it doesn't have a good viewpoint of the larger playground. I have two kids (2 and 4) and my 4 year old was very interested in the larger playground, but my younger child was not. For me, it was very difficult to monitor both children with how the playground is laid out. With lots of kids on the larger playground, it is challenging to keep an eye on your child as they climb up the levels. I walked by the community garden and classroom but haven't utilized them yet. There are also shelters near the two large parking lots. I have a few thoughts on improvements, but none of them would keep me from coming to this park weekly. Things that I think can be improved: * Signage on the walking trail trailheads that state the length of the trails * More swings in the playground area. There are no baby swings currently.
