This is amazing! Absolutely gorgeous gardens, walkways, bridges, rocks, sculptures & its free. This is a must see!

Beautiful place! It was our first visit to NC. The size of the leaves were nothing like I’ve every seen before. The garden was peaceful with so much to see! Definitely would go again.

Wonderful city park, pleasant autumn walk. This park is contiguous with the Tanger gardens across the street, so theyre easily combined for a longer walk than combines enjoyment of both nature and art. The pictures include shots from both places.

Great area to walk around and enjoy the fresh air (even with masks on). Go across the street to find the waterfall, you wont be disappointed.

Beautiful garden. Perfect for an afternoon walk on a nice fall day

So Peaceful! The boardwalk keeps you dry while admiring the plants and critters throughout the garden, as well as the hiking trails provide a varied level interest. The lake overlook and the waterfall are great too!

Love coming to the garden & bringing the kids. Its really pretty & theres a lot of hidden gems there if you walk around enough.

I absolutely love walking around this garden. There is always wildlife to see and you forget that toy are basically in the heart of GSO.

BEAUTIFUL!!! GREAT PLACE TO TAKE IN NATURES BEAUTY.

Awesome place. Great trails and allot of different things to see. We were treated to an elderly man playing the violin while we were there, it really added to the ambiance, truly a serene experience.

This place is great for everyone. A true gem in Greensboro. Great if you just want to spend sometime all by yourself or if you want to bring the whole family. I made the wrong turn and stumbled onto this great park. It was raining but we decided to explore it since we were already there. The statues and the landscape go in perfect harmony. To us the best part was the Bog garden. Dont miss it. its across the street from the main entrance and a very short walk. It was flooded in parts ( its supposed to be, is a Bog!) which meant the creeks were flowing. The water fall ( i think is man made) is perfect for taking pictures. If you are in the RTP area is worth the 40 minute drive. Will be back on a sunny day with my 8 yrld. This place is perfect for the kinds to disconnect from their iPads,cell phone and play station and just run and explore.

Just lovely. The paths, different little bridges, Serenity Falls, the people and pets. In spite of Covid and social distancing people were in good spirits and it was a perfect day for a stroll in the garden. Thank you!

Beautiful! A fantastic place to take photos.

Sad to say the Bog Garden has seen better days. We still walk here, but after Hurricane Michael its never been quite the same.

It’s a nice park for evening walk... if you’re living nearby, you can spend a enjoyable evening there. There are some statues, those can be good object for photography... you will find special bamboo tree over there which is also some of us favorite photographic objects...

Pleasantly surprise, plenty of well knowledgeable people of the area there that were very friendly and helpful

We got married here, what else is there to say?

Shady and interesting on a hot summer day with my granddaughter. Saw fish birds turtles ducks chipmunks and an egret in the marsh. We had our masks so when we encountered others we put them on. We practiced doing the right thing.

This was a relaxing escape. Probably beautiful in Spring.

A magical place. Take the time to listen to water, birds, rustling leaves. Look past the obvious to find small delights. Sit for a while and just be blessed by nature.

Nice short walk! Close to shopping but away from the noise and very peaceful!

Fun place to walk around and see the ducks and geese. A little small though

Great way to spend an afternoon with beautiful foliage and serene scenery

Great day for a walk!

There were lots of different nature elements in this park. there were lots of benches and birdhouses here and the trails were well kept. The babbling brook was particularly fun to watch and had the teaching circle nearby. This is right across the road from another park with a cross walk that has warning lights.

Wonderful, serene place. Nice for a stroll and quiet thinking. Take a walk up the hills and enjoy the waterfall and stream. Nice place for smooching.

Nice place to go for a walk and enjoy nature.

The Bog Gardens are a hidden gem behind Friendly Shopping Center. Nicely maintains with a small stream and both paved and dirt trails and wooden bridges to traverse the muddier areas. A peaceful place despite being near a shopping mall.

Great place for casual walk! Landscaping is always immaculate!

This place is always so beautiful and peaceful

Its a sweet place that you could go with family, friends before or after shopping at Friendly center, or waiting for the movies. So convenient to get to here. And the view is beautiful!

Just wow! Beautiful man made park! I love the old school charm of the wooden trails. Takes you right into a storybook. Peaceful, serene, and breathtaking. My new favorite place in Greensboro

A naturalistic park with paved unpacked trails. Part of the walk is on decking as you cross through the big near a small lake. This park is great for seeing wildlife like ducks, turtles, chipmunks, owls, egrets, and other creatures. It’s a great park to walk on hot summer days because it is mostly shaded. A lovely feature is the waterfall that was built into the side of a hill. Most of the trails run beside a small creek where the ducks like to hang out.

Beautiful gardens! I just recently moved to Greensboro and I am simply amazed by the gems hidden within this city. Loved walking around here and look forward to returning.

This was a very pretty, well maintained park. Tons of space and different sights. A great place to see.

A peaceful and relaxing environment.

Beautiful little garden with a quaint backdrop. Caught so many Magikarps around here when Po-Go used to be all the rage haha

Wonderful place to walk around. Peaceful escape from Friendly Center. Great place to find some wildlife.

Great place to walk and observe nature

What a peaceful place. Park on the street and you can stay past nirmal closing time

Great place to take a walk and enjoy the environment with family friends or a pet!

This was a pleasant walk. There was no part of the trail that was strenuous. While there was plenty pleasant views, there wasnt anything noteworthy. It does well for a short walk of youre in the area.

Very relaxing romp through the woods with clean trails and wooden boardwalks. Great place to photograph nature and some wildlife. Attractive waterfalls and streams that beg for the attention of your camera.

This is a very relaxing place for an evening walk. It is hard to believe as you are walking how close you actually are to The Shops at Friendly.

Introduced this to a friend made the greatest impression

Beautiful park to go and forget about everything.

Im really in love with this place, and Im not sure how you cant be. Growing up on the North Carolina coast and yet being a lover of the mountains Ive always been around water. This city owned park does a great job showing off its streams, small waterfall and bog. This is the Pinnacle of relaxation for the area, not to crowded and teeming with wildlife including birds, fish and all kinds of small animals. Hopefully your not afraid of ducks haha.

Great little park! We really enjoyed a quick walk through. I would recommend if you live in the area!

I am so glad I came here on a whim! The garden is so peaceful. While here I saw a family of ducks and lots of dragonflies. The upkeep of this garden is fantastic too. Just loved the walkways.

Love all the wildlife you see while walking around. Including chubby chipmuncks. The owls are fun to watch when they are active.

Great for family and a peace of mind

Smaller than I think but still really neat.

Nature at its finest in the middle of a developed area.

Beautiful gardens. Small and easy walking. Entered through the main entrance with plenty of parking. Right off the parking lot is a little free library and a picnic area. Most of the park is in shade with easy well groomed walking paths. This would be a great place to bring young kids- they allow tricycles and big wheels for kids but no bikes.

Wonderful quiet walk with tons of Wildlife to see. Definitely suggest taking a picnic and enjoying it near the lake or waterfall.

A natural oasis of green forest with waterfall, stream, lake, and wild life (heron, turtle, geese, beaver, ...) in the city. What a wonderful gift.

Theres a lot of paths for a good walk. My favorite part was all the ducks swimming around in groups of 5. Theres plenty of seats scattered about if you need to take a break or just sit down to enjoy the spot you have found.

Very nice and relaxing.

Nice place to take a walk

Peaceful nature experience in the middle of the town. Today a heron flew overhead, looking like a pterodactyl as I saw through the trees!

Smaller and less to see than I thought but still a nice way to get some vitamin D on a chilly afternoon.

Easily spend an afternoon here! Beautiful well kept gardens, easy trails to walk and some more adventurous if thats your thing. My kids enjoy the ducks and wild life. It ia relaxing to walk through

A beautifully tucked away space to see nature in a new way.

Nice place for wild photography some water birds and small birds.

Pretty neat little park. Man made waterfall and cool walkways take you to the marsh. The historical portion has a house and a mill. Also a really cute bunch of chipmunks.

Very nice, nature, walking trail around the river

Kicked a hedge hog at least 10 yards here, bet u cant beat my score

Lovely walking paths. Beautiful

Beautiful place to relax and nature watch.

Wonderful place to walk next to a stream or lake a couple blocks from a very busy shopping area

A beautiful, heavily and completely shaded walk through wetlands and such. Much of it is a boardwalk or paved loop. Strange that it is in the middle of the city and well hidden. Proximity to Friendly Center wouldnt be known had you no geographical awareness of Greensboro.Serenity Falls is a good stop and not on the main trail. Easy to see from the trail though. Good photo opportunity. The name fits it perfectly. Greensboro did a great job with this.Just beyond the falls on the main path is a stop at a pond. Signs about not feeding geese and such are here. I have talked to a lady sporadically over a 5-year period or so who comes every Sunday morning regardless of weather. She parks here and relaxes for a couple of hours. Amazing that she is always here and we have exchanged stories, bios, etc.You will see wildlife such as owls, squirrels, chipmunks, turtles, etc. You will also hear owls with their who as you walk the loop.Never busy and this is great. Good secret I guess.Greensboro did a fantastic job with it and this is a great serene walk away from the hubbub of the surrounding area.

Always something interesting, even in Gray days of winter.

So beautiful look forward to going back

Beautiful and serene. Mostly shaded with tree canopies, and lots of little offshoots into quiet little areas. Connects to a larger, more active park. Altogether a beautiful area.

A surprisingly unique and enjoyable spot right in the middle of city. It is a big, which doesnt sound like much, but its beautiful kept up and filled with birds and plant life. My 2 year old and myself loved walking through.

Very serene. A nice place to take kids. If you have kids interested in playing in the creek, this is a much better choice than the botanical garden across the street.

Awesome park. Beautiful view.

Really nice place to take a stroll. If you just need to kill a little time, nice peaceful place.

I love the bog garden. It’s a beautiful spot to wander and think-the stones set in a circle is my favorite area.

Nice walking trail through the woods

Beautiful place to walk around and a good place for pictures

This is such a nice little trail with ducks, cranes, different types of birds and more. Its such a beautiful place; I saw people doing wedding photos here as well.

Amazing gardens, lots of variety

Great place for birding! The walkways are well kept up. Always enjoy my time here!

Very nice place to visit and explore

Always love stopping here when we get the chance. Showing the kids nature and visiting all the critters that live here! And petting peoples dogs lol

Great place to visit in these times.

Beautiful place to visit.

This place is amazing! My favorite spot in Greensboro NC! Has a 1 mile trail but the colors in the fall and spring make it so peaceful!

Absolutely beautiful and well worth the walk through. Other people are very friendly there and will let you know if theres anything of interest to see. On my trip, there were baby owls looking out of a box at passerby. This is also very close to the bicentennial garden. Definitely worth a visit and trip away from the mall thats right next door.

A bit of a hidden gem, Behind the Friendly Shopping center at Harris-teeter is a wonderful escape from concrete and into the natural woods, waterfall, boardwalk and trails of the Bog. Lots of plants and animals life to observe.

Small but interesting park. There are some trails around the retention pond that can have some interesting wildlife. It is a nice escape from friendly center for a little bit.

Talk about beauty and peaceful ️

Nice trail. Well maintained. Beautiful to look at.

Wonderful collections. Good maps.

This is a serene, calming , place ...to clear your head, write, take pictures, romantic walk, etc.

We have been going to the Bog Garden for 20 years. It is beautiful year round. There used to have beavers, but they have since relocated them. There are many different species of birds to see, especially in the early morning. Owls do live there near the pond. The waterfall, and the new bridge are such beautiful spots to take photographs. It always has shady areas to walk, and hike up a trail. Great for families!

I live in Greensboro and this is one of my favorite places to go. It has a boardwalk and sidewalk all the way around. This makes it accessible for wheelchair users and people who may have trouble walking. The Serenity falls area is not paved or has a board walk, although one can see it from a small bridge.It is shaded during different parts of the day and has an abundance of birds, small mammals and wildflowers. There are signs to not feed the Canada geese, these are non- native waterfowl. I would suggest feeding the native waterfowl in the stream that leads to the small lake. You can also leave bread on the hand railings and squirrels and chipmunks will go and take the bread.

Lovely place for nice long peaceful walks immersed in nature. You get up close to the trees and you never know what kind if critters you will see. All while staying on a nice clean level boardwalk, eliminating muddy feet and tripping hazards. There is a lovely view of the lake as well as small streams within the park. Its great for small kids. They love seeing all the ducks and turtles. Its like hiking but without the hassels. It is a beautiful escape hidden within the city. The best part is that you are completely shaded under the giant canopy of the tree tops, which is perfect for people like me who tend to burn easily.

What a gem and such a convenient location in Greensboro. We saw the young owl in the tree top and the ducks in their element.
