This is a wonderful multifaceted park. The playground is great for both young toddlers and older climbers and features several slides built into hills. There is also a fun climbing rock, lots of open space for play or flying kites. There are sand volleyball courts, basketball courts and a very nice pavilion. The bathrooms are large and fairly clean. The park also is an access point for a great stretch of Greenway that brings you to Lake Crabtree. Even when the park is crowded its large enough that one is able to have some space. Its also surrounded by greenery and even at midday its possible to find some shade. There is ample parking. This park is definitely worth checking out.

The park has so many amenities that make it easily utilized and fun for all age groups. We enjoyed walking the paths, playing on the swings, and sitting at some of the picnic tables for a snack.

Best park in Triangle. Truly what suburban should be. It has near perfect interlacing of commercial, residential, and park development. Trails to walk and cycle. Lakes. Awesome

Beautiful park with lots of trails. Great for the whole family! North Cary Park is a great place for all ages and for pets.  There are beautiful trails for walking, hiking, and biking.  There’s a lot of places to stop along the way and sit at a bench or to lay out a blanket and chairs and have a picnic.  I would say that the walking is easy as the trails within the park itself are paved.  There are additional trails that connect from North Cary Park to other trails/areas around Cary,  so the opportunity to walk further and explore more and go for longer distances is certainly there.  I’ll bring my dog and we’ll walk 3-5 miles and at various times we will see folks running, riding their bikes, kayaking, playing at the playground, rock climbing, playing volleyball, and/or playing soccer.  There is also a covered pavilion you could use for a bigger gathering.  Beside the covered pavilion are the restrooms.  The park is well maintained and it is not uncommon to see someone from the town at the park early in the mornings working on keeping it so beautiful.  Very friendly.  It is definitely a very family and pet friendly location and I am very grateful to have such a beautiful area of nature accessible to Cary and its residents

This park and playground is really great. Huge sandpit, big slides, swings, and fun jungle gym. My daughter (3yrs) loves it and I see lots of older kids enjoying it too. The trails through the woods are really nice too. One of our favorite playgrounds.

Dog led us here on one of our walks. SO glad she did. Had no idea what was right behind our house. Beautiful trails, tons of friendly families along the way and numerous park and trail features. We’ll be walking here much more often now that I know what all is back there.

This is a beautiful Park however it is inundated with bicyclers so if youre a walker its not the greatest place to go! if you have a bicycle and you want to place to ride then this is definitely the place. But I like to walk and this is not a preferred Park for that.

Rocks to climb... Nice walking trail... Bike riding availability... Volleyball nets with sand and all... & a basketball courtDown side-- we saw a copperhead while we were there and animal control came out and tossed it into the woods a couple of feet away from the kiddie play place because thats their habitat.Be careful and watch out for your children.

We love this park! And my little ones love the sandbox. The 9 month old seems to think its a buffet and wants to eat the wood chips, leaves, and rocks And the 2 year old loves the big slide in the hill. Everyone there is always very nice as well, and everyone shares toys in the sandbox.

Great place for kids. In the summer there is not so hot because of the trees. You can find a shadow there that is very important in NC.

It is clean, green, and has something for everyone! Several small separate playgrounds for kids of all ages with slides and swings. There are 3 volleyball courts, 2 Basketball courts, a small rock wall, a soccer field, and a large picnic area with shelter. It has public bathrooms and water fountains. Also, for those of you who enjoy Pokemon and Wizards Unite, there are plenty of opportunities to play.

Ive only seen kids playing on these rocks before, but today a real climber was here getting a workout. Amazing what you can actually do with this!

Review №42

Very family friendly environment!! I see lots of dog walkers, familys hiking, and bike riders. There is a variety of trails from woodsy hiking trails, to asphalt trails. Some of the trails are more advanced while others are more laid back, so there is a trail for everyone!! I suggest going in the morning before 10:00 am, because afterwards it gets a lot hotter. If you are going for a walk after ten, around the afternoon, be sure to bring water and a hat!

Amazing Playgrounds for kids and teens. Great Sand Volleyball courts. They are all very well kept. The trails are short and sweet but do go on for a ways in one area. Fun rocks to climb on and overall a place to have a few good hours of fun and exercise.

The sand courts are in very nice condition. Able to adjust net height as well as court size. Very nice playground area, and nice and clean restrooms. Plenty of outdoor benches perfect for a family picnic, and lots of open grass area for kids to play in. A nice walking trail throughout the park, great for walking a dog or for jogging. All around a great park with plenty of things to do.

Great park to take kids...or just to go for a walk. I would have given it five stars but for the bikers on the Black Creek Greenway...they ride extremely fast which makes it very dangerous for small children on the same path ( there is only one path). Its a beautiful walk other than the bikers.

Review №65

We went to the playground and didnt really like it. We have a toddler and though they are toddler activities they are not as many as other parks in the area.There is also a very large sandbox, which may be a plus to some, but we do not allow our child to play in sandboxes as they are essentially outdoor toilets for animals. The size created a big distraction as it was difficult to redirect her to other activities.Not a bad park, but not best for our needs.

This review speaks to the sand volleyball courts. There are lights for the courts. The (single) outdoor shower between the courts and the parking lot is appreciated. However, I wish the lower shower head was a couple feet higher for cleaning not only feet, but also legs. The adjacent restroom facility is always clean.

Park has great fountain lights that are beautiful at night. There are several tables where you can sit, or you can sit along one of the ledges or benches in the park. You can play a game of table tennis, Foosball or just stroll around the park. It is beautiful.

Big, multi-sport field, childrens playground, basketball court, volleyball, picnic shelter, lots of open space, some wooded areas, paved hiking and biking trails, connects to the Black Creek Greenway, adequate parking most of the time, bathrooms!Downside? The trails in the park are on a progressively steep hill heading down to the ravine where the Black Creek Greenway is. Thats good if you want exercise, not so good if you just want a casual stroll.

Has a nice paved trail through the woods and across a creek and a pretty cool climbing rock, fun for a little bit older kids. There are areas to play in the water, which most kids love :). The play area is set up as 3 different sections and has some pretty unique slides. There is a soccer field, volleyball ball and basketball courts, and a nice picnic area. GREAT PARK!!
