So the hours on Saturday are 1-5 now due to Covid. As of November 21st the paths are completely flooded, so no walking trails

Flooded after rain but a very nice place to hang out with family. There are picnic tables, a swing, camp sites, some hammocks and a nature museum. There were no fish in the tank when we went. Plenty of ducks in the pond which we fed. Will go there again.

Fun place to roam, fish and camp. Most of the staff is friendly. But me and a friend had a run in with a staff member when we were camping. Who didnt even know their own rules. And when we schooled him on it, he became increasingly aggressive. He said hes going to make sure the rules get changed about the distance you can leave your camp site. We had no fire,and we were there to fish. Why allow people to fish when youre camping if you cant leave your camp site?

I love going on runs/walks here with friends. Very beautiful and calm, cool parts (kayak access, pier, fishing spots, and nice trail)

The park has some trails that are not very long if you just want to go on a short walk. There are some areas for kids and picnic areas. The place is clean. There is no trash laying around.

Nice fishing area for family. Not allot of cleared spaces so be careful not to hook a tree or a turtle. But nice atmosphere and trail.

Great place with nice staff and there are a lot of ways to enjoy nature there.

Not much to say. Was pretty much closed due to flooding and COVID. Was BEAUTIFUL though.

Great walking trails, lots of nature and a few camping spots

Beautiful and relaxing. Bring water, one of the trails is 4 miles.

Cant wait to get to spend some time there

Large nature area with paved and unpaved, sandy trails. So much potential due to the size and I wish they would give some more effort to making for trails. Mountain bike trails would be nice.

I freaking love this park! One of my favorites so far. They have awesome trails. They have hammocks freaking hammocks you guys! You can go canoeing or fishing. Its a really wonderful and gorgeous little park.

Such beautiful trails with places you can go fishing or just walk the trails. Plenty of wildlife to see.

The park was very well maintained. There is plenty of wildlife to be seen. All things are closed on Mondays, (the day we visited) but everything looks to be in good shape. The walk pleasant and very manageable.

Ive had a few of my sons birthday parties at this location where they have picnic tables with grills you can rent for the day. Very nice set up where the kids can play or fish. Everybody has a great time there, including myself. Also the prices for renting are very affordable.

Great spot right in greenville was really surprised at how big this place is with lots of different areas and a beautiful scenery.

Easy hikes, good fishing spots, and a couple of small playgrounds.

To start, you can rent a kayak or a jon boat for cheap and the have fishing poles available free of charge! Not a single bite while I was out but Ive heard that when it cools down you have much better luck.

Enjoyed hiking on this beautiful day!

Nice place to go fishing and hiking.

Children had a great time here.

Gorgeous woodlands. Took my dog for a long walk through the woods and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nice open space by the water. Also some areas that offer privacy. Great location for a cookout or a date/picnic.

River park north is great! Plenty of parking, awesome trails and even fishing. Compost garden and plenty of learning activities for kids. Check it out

Nice clear walking paths, clean park.

We love to visit River Park North for walking and fishing!!!

It was a really beautiful place. I really enjoyed it.

Beautiful. Did all the trails

Nice walking trail about 2 miles round trip. Seems to be closed most of the year due to flooding so check befor you go

Wow!! What a hidden treasure. Its an oasis in the city.

Nice park but last three times I have been and paid to fish. I barely could catch a single catfish. Its supposed to be a stocked pond. Previously it was never a problem to catch plenty of catfish. I believe that the ponds are not stocked like they have been in the past.

Great clean and maintained park, awesome fishing spot with very active fish!

One of my favorite places to walk with my Roxie

Beautiful and park rangers are diligent with safety.

Great trails, fishing, and sight for nature!

Great family friendly place

Great place to take the kids on an outdoor adventure or if its raining go inside and enjoy the live display of aquatic and woodland creatures.

Nice area. Well maintained. Boating, fishing, play and picnic areas.

So my family has only participated in the Monday Open Play in the front play area from 10-12. Today was my first time there in about 2 years due to adding a new baby to the mix. My 1.5 year old LOVED it. There were probably about 15-20 kids there at the peak, but everyone played extremely well together. Great mix of kids/families!! It is a more nature oriented playground. There is a fishing boat for the kids to play in. There are outdoor musical instruments like chimes and bells to play. There is a big hill for kids to climb and a tunnel that you can crawl through. There is an area with sheets that allows the kids to build a fort in their own configuration. There are blue foam blocks that you can build different shapes and things. Sometimes the staff will bring out other activities too! I would absolutely recommend attending! The sign says it is designed for 5-12 years old I believe but the younger kids definitely had more than enough to keep them occupied.

Miles of well maintained wooded trails, river, swamp, ponds, and stream to walk along. Pavilion, volleyball court, lots of picnic tables, primitive camping, kayaks and john boats to rent.

Love fishing here!

Awesome place. Man made water. State property.The place is clean though, you just may need to buy a kayak because the rented kayaks are limited.Restrooms available.

Good, good fishing.

Great place for family fun!

Awesome park tucked away from all the busy and crazy!

Great for dogs. Great for nature walk with the kids and the dog!

Nice park, great play area at the East end for kids. Walking paths, throughout the park

Fun afternoon. Picnic areas nice trails to the Tar river with areas to fish. Can rent canoe and kayaks as well. Facilities clean.

Awesome park, great experience, our scout troop and Pack enjoyed themselves.

Really enjoy the indoor area with the animals that youre allowed to interact with and look at it and learn about it entertains kids cuz you dont just have to walk around outside

A decent place for nature lovers in Greenville.

My kids love their activities and camps.

Amazing place to take your family and enjoy nature. Inexpensive kayak rentals and knowledgeable staff.

Ive only been to like two parks here but I really enjoyed this one! I absolutely loved the hammocks. The views are beyond breath taking. They have a bunch of little trails that are a lovely walk. If youre looking for a place to take the family on a little adventure this is the spot!

Beautiful!

This is a very natural park. Parking is free. Staff is helpful. You can rent a John boat or kayak. There are a few trails to enjoy a scenic view of the natural Pitt county nature. This place is great for dogs too! Compost is available here. The park offers activities for children to explore and learn. The main path takes you all the way down to the Tar River, passing fishing sights and scenic views of swamps. By far the best park in Greenville/Pitt County. Perfect for a get away from the city and stress. Great place to relax.

Im liked too much..only the trouble is closed 7:30. Im think is better in summer closed at 8:30 pm

This is a great nature area in Greenville. They used to have a fossil bed here but it is to longer funded, which is too bad. Science and nature learning is a big part of this park. There are signs and a center at the park enterance to learn about the area. I highly recommend.

Never knew this was here in Greenville. Nice little park with camping and fishing/cannoeing. Nice!

Nice place for a walk or fishing. Kids can play on the playground.

Great place for kids to do nature walks and has 2 different play areas.

Fantastic place get some knowledge go fishing , canoeing, kayaking or hike the trails . This is a Greenville gem

Love this park! Just wish there was better fishing here.

I took my son here today and were impressed but there was room for improvement. We had to pay $3 but definitely enjoyed the turtle touch tank and still life exhibits but was impressed by the 10,000 gallon aquarium. It did need some help: a good cleaning, some plants and a new fish stock, but it was still cool to see the giant channel cat swimming about. We spent about 45 minutes inside and another half out our side but it was very hot so we could not stay as long as we wanted. The docs are in good shape and the walking trails go around by the water. There are also a few areas so play outside when it is not too hot along with covered picnic areas.

They have nice Trails. Its a good place to take a kid fishing.

Such a beautiful place~ feels like where shrek lives in the green swamp land . so fascinating and remarkable here.

Nice place with nature trails to walk, nature center and even places to fish.

Great place to walk. Bring your camera I saw deer and a woodpecker ,cormorants, geese,many small birds. People fishing and bike riding

Great couple of hours with my Catahoula here.

Nice but fish werent biting...

Great scenery!

Recently visited to rent kyaks with my boyfriend. We had a lot of fun. All of the boat rental prices are very reasonable, plus the park has some great wildlife. Only complaint is that the lake they lat you take rentals in isnt huge, so there isnt a lot to explore.

This is a great place to eat lunch, refocus, read or add steps to my fitbit.

Cool

Beautiful lake

Great place to get an outdoor fix. Fishing, hike, playgrounds, and several Geocaching hunts

So beautiful and a great hour or two hike. Bring bug spray.

We had a great time on our field trip today! Wonderful, engaging, hands-on activities for my students. The park is beautiful and so peaceful. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful and quiet. Great park with lots of amenities. Love the ponds, trails, and picnic areas.

Great for walks and hikes awesome scenery and fishing and very nice service at the desk.

Awesome place very peaceful.

Great outdoors!

We enjoyed our visit. We were just out looking for something to do and ended up here. My 15 yoa really enjoyed it too. It is worth planning a nice day and picnic at. Allow yourself time to enjoy the nature walk and pond.

One of my favourite spots!

Best easy hiking trails

Excellent place for a long, quiet walk without the commitment of a hike. Beautifully maintained, but wild and natural, peaceful, and serene. Only one small area specifically for children, but the entire park is great for family time, picnics, or fishing. My favorite place in Greenville.

Staff is great. Enjoy the park so much. Fishing with my grandchildren, hiking and enjoying nature!!

Very peaceful within the city.

Fun place with multiple things to do. Love walking the trails and the play area for the little ones. Always a good group of kids there to play with.

A great time fishing with my daughter

Its okay just nothing in the pond for the most part.

I enjoy the park its very clean and I love fishing there.

Beautiful place amazing trails, definitely recommend

Nice quiet place to rest you mind.

Great for kids fishing trips! Going out tomorrow the rent a Johnboat for $7 for 5hrs!

Loved it!

Great hiking trails. Nice camp site. Friendly staff.

Great place to visit. Very beautiful. Great trails, camping, and canoes to rent. Love taking my dog down the trails.

A piece of the great outdoors in this busy city. Across the Tar River from Greenville proper, River Park North offers a museum, bathrooms, acres of play areas, boating access, fishing piers, nature trails and educational opportunities as well as arts and crafts. To me its an underused asset of Pitt County. Great place to walk your dog...on a leash of course. FYI, watch out for poison ivy.
