A great place to bring the family regardless of age. The nature playspace is perfect for little ones to run around and play. From the sandbox to the camping area to the stage and all things in-between, there is plenty to keep the kids entertained. Plus the hiking trail is just long enough to stretch your legs and enjoy the outdoors.

Really cool shaded playground. Definitely one of the top free best place to bring the kids in Raleigh. Only complain is that they dont have any trash cans, so be prepared and bring empty bags to pack any trash that you might have.

What a great place for kids of all ages! Lots of places to get dirty, climb, dig for fossils, and be in nature. Plenty of seating for adults, shade, and all the activities are close to each other.

Wonderful place to view wildlife right inside Raleigh! I saw birds there that I have never seen in my life. Wish they could stay open past 4:30pm though...you just hate to leave it once there.
