Nicely marked trails in a wooded setting, yet just minutes from almost anywhere in the Triad. Trails are in good shape and are easy enough for first timers or novice hikers, and appear very lightly used. As outdoor spaces shrink in urban areas, this park is a true gem. Highly recommend

I went there looking for a play area for my dog. I did not adventure out to the whole park. The doggie park was spacious. They had two sections, one for the larger dogs and one for the smaller. There was a cooler out there and a couple of pans for water. However at 2pm, the time we had arrived, it was empty. I carry bottled water with me when we go out. He had a great time running with the other dogs. Four stars because they didnt have a doggie fountain and the cooler was empty.

First of all the fishing is phenomenal. One of the best fisheries for bass and crappie in the state of North Carolina. Second, the staff was amazing and helpful. My car was running into issues in the parking lot and the park was closed. The staff helped me with everything until midnight and I was able to get home. I really appreciate the awesome service! Definitely would recommend this place.

Gates are closed on Monday and Tuesday...many walking trails, shelters, bathrooms, fishing peir, paddle boat rentals in riddick creek in the protected wetlands. Nice place that can be difficult to find as there are no signs on the roads saying where to turn but that is okay

Southwest Park is a nice park to go to with walking trails and two dog parks. The only negative is that the walking trails are not marked.

This is my favorite park to take my dog. If you go on Saturday morning it will be a mad house for dogs and I love it. The people pay attention to their dogs unlike some of the other places in the area. I have been coming here for over two years.Also the staff is always so nice and helpful.

This is a great hidden gem! The fields are nice and the facilities are clean. Great place to bring the dogs, hit some softballs, or just walk around! Not a busy place either.

My recent trip to Moes with a coupon brought great food, value, and excellent service. They greet you with a smile and say, welcome to Moes! The vegetarian burrito was delicious, plenty of food. My coupon made the meal an even better value.I would highly recommend this Moes location to anyone seeking a good meal, plenty of food, friendly service, and great value.

Great place for family gatherings. We go here every Easter. A little hard to find since no huge sign is up. So watch hard when maps says you there, you are! Fork left to picnic and park, right is foot and bike paths.

We go here for the dog park. It is large and clean; everyone we have met is friendly. There are separate areas for large & small dogs. There is no running water, but when the park is open, there is a cooler. The trails around the park are beautiful and the staff is very nice.

Wonderful park! For families with small kids, there are 2 different playgrounds which excites the kids. You do have to drive a minute to get from one to the other, but they offer different experiences so thats nice. The facilities are clean and modern and the staff is very friendly, and very helpful during parties. They even brought us a ton of ice once without us even asking for it. The hiking trails are also fun with kids! Just wear lots of bug spray as ticks and mosquitoes really love this wooden park next to a lake!

I love this park. It is a great place for me to take my dog. He has so much fun in the dog park and all the dogs get along. It is clean and they keep a water cooler full, so when the dogs get thirsty there is water for them.

Review №49

Very nice part only issue weve ever had here was that people bring their dogs here and sometimes do not respect lease requirements and just try to tell you that their dogs wont bite. We have had multiple kids birthday parties out here and had to run people off but the staff here was very helpful and was willing to step in on our behalf and ask the people to leave. Affordable prices and all together a very equipped public park

Randleman Lake access to kayak here. Lots of great hiking trails. Picnic and play areas and a dog park. The lake parking lot is crowded on the weekends but other than that theres always lots of space for privacy and quiet time with family.

Pretty awesome little park. They do have public restrooms and a dog park. Dont be fooled it is a very short walked through the woods but they have two separate fenced in areas with water and bowl provided. There are a few toys some people have left but we love it. Its only open wednesday-Sunday but I think thats only for the actual Hooman park you can still get to the dog park on a side road before the fence. We take our two dogs about twice a week. For the Hoomans they have a standard public park at the end and I think a ball field or two.

My wife and I go to this park all the time, as it is open every day no matter if the park is or not. There are also many trails that you can hike with your dogs around the lake. Great EXERCISE for both you and your dog. There are water fountains throughout the park, and water spickets for your pets.

We visited this dog park while visiting family in NC. First, it is off the beaten path. When you first turn into the park, there is a small building that has a small sign that says Dog Park with an arrow pointing toward a dirt path. You go for a short hike through the woods which could be a problem for an older person or a disabled person because there are many tree roots in the path. Just when you start to think it cant be back there, you see another small blue sign that says Dog Park and there it is to your left. First, poop bags are not provided. You must bring your own. There is a little dog area, but the park is fenced in cattle fence. Some very small breeds might be able to get through the fence. Im pretty sure my dachshund could have, but she didnt seem inclined. However, the large dog area is separated from the little dog area by a cattle fence. My dachshund had no problem scooting right under there. She came back because our cockapoo couldnt fit under. Apart from that, it is one of the largest and nicest dog parks weve seen. Theres a bit of a wooded area in the small dog area that our dachshund very obviously enjoyed following smells and digging in fall leaves. We will definitely be bringing our little girls again when we visit family in Greensboro.

The parking areas and docks are closed down until March of 2016, but you can park before the gates and walk their beautiful trails. They have an off-leashe dog park, its also cut into sections off little and big dogs. I took my lil chiwawa mix into the large dog section to play with the other dogs(no one was in the small dog section) they had a couple of water bowls and a basket full of tennis balls for the dogs. I myself have not went to the entire park yet, but I definitely recommend this park. It is the best park Ive went to in the Greensboro-randleman area. Happy trails.
