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!

The eagle statue stand between the American flag and the North Carolina State flag. The arboretum is very well kept you and definitely tell the town of Burlington puts in the finances into keeping their parks well kept and maintained. 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.

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'!

I visited here around 4 PM on a Saturday afternoon with my sons. This is my first time coming to…read morethis park. It is connected to and located behind a church, but is open to the public. You can access the playground by entering the Trails End Apartments. It's a pretty solid playground, honestly. One swing set has 4 swings and the other one, located on the complete opposite side of the playground, had 1 regular and 1 baby swing. There is also 2 play sets, one for older children and one for younger ones. One thing I really enjoy is the rock trail surrounding the playground. 10 laps = 1 mile, according to signage. Additionally, they call the trail a prayer walk. Each lap represents prayer for a different reason, which is amazing. I also love it because adults or adolescents can walk around it while children play. You pretty much can see every part of the playground no matter where you are on the trail. I did a little over a mile while I was there, according to my Apple Watch. I forgot to count the laps to see if it was accurate, lol. The only thing I dislike is one of the rules they have posted. Specifically, rule #4 says "Do not use the playground during worship services. (Join us inside instead!)". That bothers me because while I can see the intent, it's a missed opportunity. If people are playing on the playground during worship services, they may hear a word or a message from a speaker, or even be lead to the church by God or a spirit. Additionally, rule #3 says "Share the playground with all who wish to play". If I read rule #4, that may deter a non believer by not making them feel welcomed. But hey, that's just my opinion and thought process on it. You can't have partial inclusion ‍ Overall, I would return. Like I said, it's a solid playground. There is street parking and also about 40 parking spaces. They also have 2 benches as well. I do think there should be more as it is a solid size playground.

This is a really small park but it has a lot to offer for its size…read more What you notice immediately about the park is the brick smoke stacks on the opposite side of the river at what was once Cone Fabrics. Between the river and parking is a practice spot for disc golf. I have seen disc golf practice tee's before but they usually are near a disc golf park and they don't have the distance on top of the disc catcher. There were 3 there.I thought this was a pretty cool feature of the park. Also this park provided permanent corn-hole boards which were made of concrete or resin. There were bathrooms, a shelter, play ground and gazebos. Plenty of open space and parking. You can walk right down to the river and there are some really nice views. Again, small park but for its size it stands out.

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.
