The trails are paved and run from just passed Robinhood road to Country Club Road. Several benches along the path as well. Small creek runs alongside the entire path. Lots of shade. It is dog friendly with several spots to dump your poop bags. There is also a dog park for both large and small dogs. It is fairly large. There are picnic tables under the gazebo connected to the restrooms. There is a children's play area and the path also runs alongside a property that has beautiful horses. The path is connected to several local communities....lucky them! Definitely a park that you can come exercise or come do some reading, relaxing or even "Work from home"! Check it out you will not be disappointed!

This is a lovely park and it has a nice dog park area. It's currently under construction, so plan…read moreaccordingly. That should end around January? One note: there's a lady with a neck fan who dominates the small-dog portion of the dog park. And she is there ever. Single. Day. She acts like she runs the place and she has a mean little dog who terrorizes most pups who try to enter. She will lazily call, "oh, he jut wants to play!" As her horrible dog tries to menace your pets, then rolls her eyes and eventually strolls over when the horrid thing gets actively violent. I think she likes having the park to herself, and she gets there super early, so everyone else just sort of avoids her spot. The good news is that she's usually gone by 10 or 11 AM, but she's a menace.

It's so nice to have such clean facilities with locks on the door that work properly. Unfortunately so many of the bathrooms at public playgrounds are a disaster but that's not the case here. The picnic benches are close by so if you want to sit and watch your children play you are still within reach. The walking trails go on for miles and are all paved. Great for walking, running, riding bikes or scooters. On the other side of the park there are basketball courts, workout stations, a dog park and a baseball field. This is a great part to consider if you want to reserve a shelter for a party. Everything about this park is beautiful and historic.

Whether you're here for a quiet walk or a full afternoon of activity, the park delivers. Its walking trails are especially impressive, winding through shaded woods, open fields, and along the namesake creek, which is stocked for trout fishing and part of North Carolina's Mountain Heritage Trout Program. With plenty of parking and easy access from downtown Wilkesboro, it's a perfect spot for locals and travelers alike. One of the park's standout features is its growing support for electric vehicles. A charging station near the heart of the park includes four connections, two CCS fast chargers rated at 350 kW and two CHAdeMO units at 100 kW, making it a convenient stop for EV drivers. While charging, visitors can enjoy the park's excellent facilities, including eight pickleball courts that have become a local favorite. Whether you're a seasoned player or just curious, the courts are well maintained and often buzzing with friendly competition. I am not a pickleball player but there was a tournament going on this evening that I stayed to watch for a bit. Beyond recreation, Cub Creek Park is surrounded by civic and cultural landmarks. It's just minutes from the Wilkes Heritage Museum and the historic courthouse square, making it easy to pair outdoor time with a bit of local history. The park also features a dog park, inclusive playground, butterfly garden, and picnic shelters, each thoughtfully designed to welcome everyone.
