    Great trails that are clearly marked up and well-maintained. Friendly rangers and staff. Definitely a nice park for a hike or two.

    A fan of William B Umstead Cary Reedy Creek entrance. I've enjoyed the 7-mile loop on the Company Mill trail on a few occasions. The park overall is peaceful and a great way to get out in nature and ground me whether it be solo or where I gather and hike with others. You will not be disappointed. There is a lot to see here whether it be a family of deer or bird watching if that's your thing. Just go!

    An absolute gem of a park. Incredible place. Hiking, running, biking, etc. Look forward to the campground re-opening in 2025.

    I had no idea this park was here, or that it was as big as it is, until I had a friend invite me to…read morewatch a cricket match/practice. There are eight fields, but not all of them are visible to each other. Morrisville did a nice job of keeping the trees as natural dividers amongst most of them. It's a nice walk from field one to field eight and despite the flat ground, and occasionally busy parking lot, an easy stroll. While I was watching the cricket game, some of the other fields were being used for soccer or frisbee-throwing or dog-exercising or remote control plane-flying. On one of the fields in the back, someone had parked an RV and had the grill fired up. I'm not so sure that was a good idea, as it isn't a campground, but that field wasn't in use and the shelter was occupied. Despite it not being a park in the classic sense, it does have quite a few picnic tables in the shelter that likely provide a different take on a tailgate party. It's a good spot to watch a game and maybe have a picnic with the family. On quiet days, where no games are scheduled, it's a good spot to get away and enjoy the surroundings without being too far from home.

    Not much of a park really, just some empty flat fields inside a wooded area where people play…read moresoccer and cricket. Last time I visited, some of the soccer goals didn't have any net and some goals were tied up and could not be moved.
