They have a long boardwalk that you can stroll while taking in the lake views and wildlife. While I was there, I saw many birds, fish and turtles. Along the boardwalk are benches and swings as well as a small, shaded park area for children equipped with a slide. There were a number of boats docked all around. Across the road from the boardwalk are restaurants and what appears to be a nice quiet neighborhood. Not too far away, you'll find the downtown area and all that itnhas to offer. This is a pretty cool place.

**RV SITE REVIEW** A…read morecouple weeks back me and my dad camped for one night at Goose Creek State Park, and we stayed at RV site #20. This RV site was fantastic. All of the sites were flat (which is what you want), and offered plenty of privacy (The sites were very spacious from one another). All RV sites consist of 30 and 50 amp hookups, as well as a connection to fresh water, and a sewage pipe. The bath house was new and clean. It was modern on the inside, offered hot water (even in 20 degrees), and was well taken care of. The camp host does a great job at taking care of this site. I would highly recommend that you stay/visit Goose Creek when you can. It is a great hidden spot that offers a wide array of trails and activities.

It's a shame there's no easy way to get to the park from Greenville other than by car. Building a new bridge across the Tar River to carry bikes and pedestrians could connect the park to the Greenway on the other side, creating a truly grand recreation area.

They have a calendar that shows open times but when you show up the place is closed or courts unavailable. This place is a disgrace to the community if you cannot allow the community to use it outside of pickelball. I hope more people bring their friends, children, relatives to this place and try and utilize the basketball courts. The director should be ashamed of himself for creating a schedule that diminishes the opportunity for the public to use the basketball courts. Everytime you show up the courts are unavailable. Replace the executive staff with people that are in tune with the community. I wish I could give them less than a zero star.

I enjoyed my visit to the Pitt County Arboretum. When you arrive and park in the big lot, there is…read morea sign with a map of the different gardens and trails. The Arboretum is on the same property as the Agriculture Building which may or may not be open, depending on your visit. The Arboretum surrounds the building so I found it the easiest to walk around the building. There is a walking garden that goes near the water and has a few different trails with different ability levels and lengths. I was amazed at all the pollinators here. I've never seen so many before together. This Arboretum was a highlight of my trip and I hope to make it back to see it at different times of the year.

On a pleasant spring Saturday I saw some enjoying the fishing pier, a couple of artists in the back of their SUV painting the river area, several spreading a blanket on the grass enjoying a picnic, and one female on the pavilion stage doing yoga.

I took my dog for a walk here a few times, and it was a nice change of pace from the eyesores that possess the rest of this town. You can walk along the river, take some kids to play in the playground, or have your dog walk on a leash in the grass. Of note, I've heard from multiple locals that one should be careful when walking around here as it's not always the safest. I've caught that vibe at times, but I've never run into any trouble personally. Everyone I've talked to while on walks has been friendly, and overall, I've enjoyed my time there. I probably won't go out of my way to come here again, but I'm not against it either. I encourage the Town of Greenville to host more events here and make it more of an attraction!
