The park is beautiful, but 3 of us saw signs by the dump that the park closed at 6:00, so we agreed to go the following week after work, which we did. Apparently, they changed their hours, because the park ranger told us to leave. No problem, and we were all polite (telling him we thought the park closed at 6:00), and then he got very rude for no reason. He was abrupt, angry, and said we were TRESPASSING! There was no need for that. The 3 of us are all elderly and polite. We were all shocked how rude this park staff was. He should surely be reprimanded, if his boss saw his behavior. He acted as if he owned the park and we were doing damage on his personal property, which we totally were not. Our taxes pay for the park.In case the higher-up staff reads this, it was Sunday, Nov 22 at 5:30pm when the park ranger approached us by the picnic shelter and was horrible to us. The woman who was with us was very upset and bewildered by his ugly behavior.

Great spot to get fresh air. Bicycle paths are first rate. I love the recycled use of this land.

Lots of nice trails around and through the park. Good for all fitness levels!

Love running here. Good playground too. Top of the hill is a great place to see the sunset.

Nice little park tucked away!! Facilities were clean. Access to trails. Great for bike riding or walk!! Who knew that it used to be a landfill!!

Strange park, but remarkably pleasant. I guess Green Hills is one name for it, but I prefer Trash Mountain.

Had a great time here with my buddies. I would definitely recommend this Park as family friendly and also openly friendly for all. They have grills located at the top of the hill for public use, beautiful scenery for photos and more etc.P.S. This is by far one of the cleanest parks especially with it being located near a dump.

Amazing view of Raleigh, cant get much better anywhere nearby

This landfill has been transformed into a beautiful park! The paths are pristine, and the facilities are very well kept. You can choose to walk the trails surrounding the landfill, or you can walk up it. Drive to the other side of the landfill to access copies of the park map.I encourage everyone to walk up the landfill, if able. It is a slightly steep incline and consists of a gravel road. At the top, there is plenty of seating and an awesome view! On a clear day, you can see for miles, all the way to the Raleigh Skyline.

How neat, they turned what used to be a landfill into a public park! No bad smells or anything, its really an awesome concept.

Nice, pretty much new park. Not all that much populated. Needs a LOT more shade.

Few people there. Nice trail. Great birds! Amazing use and engineering of a landfill. Perhaps visit as part of a science or engineering field trip. One problem is: 25 mph sign is facing the wrong way on a one way road.

We were in the area and looking for a playground to take our son. Found this one. He had a blast, it was very well maintained and unique for this area. Very informative as well. We enjoyed our time there quite a bit, including the walk up the hill.

I just wish it had more access to go on top, instead of driving one way to figure out how to get on top. But with the gorgeous view I give it in.

We enjoy walking to the top of the park’s trail and looking over the city while enjoying a picnic and watching the sunset. There are picnic tables and trash cans available at the top.

This place is an artificial hill with great views of Raleigh and the surrounding areas. There are three parking lots, one at the entrance and two toward the back side. One parking lot has a playground and restroom area. The hike to the top is an easy ~5 minutes. At the top, there are grills and benches.

Green Hills is a great park for hiking and bike riding. The back side of the park provides lavatories as well as a play area for children. My family easily spent over an hour exploring.

Weve always loved this park. It has a playground with close parking access, clean bathrooms. Great single track trails, nice Greenway network, and of course, Mt Trashmore, a 125ft, 0.3 mile climb that provides views of downtown Raleigh.

Surprisingly nice for an old landfill. Great bike and walking path.

The park is clean, well maintained and conveniently located. They have ample parking, public restrooms and playground equipment for younger children.

Very unique park with a small hill/mountain built over landfill leaving a nice view of the skyline and the buildings in DT Raleigh

Great place for the kids!! My oldest had a blast on the web climber. Tons grassy areas for the kids to run around on and awesome trails for jogging/biking too. My only complaint (well my daughters) is there are no swings for older kids, just baby swings.

This is such a hidden gem. I was able to tour the park with a group of students, and there were very few visitors there. If you visit, be prepared to walk, because there is only one trail to the top of the landfill, and one road to the playground. Since it is located on the greenway system, the park is easily accessible by walking and biking. There is also a fair length of mountain bike trails and a trick park to check out behind the greenway.

This is a good purpose for landfills. Its a good hike to the top, and provides a great view. There is a playground for kids, and the opportunity for discussions about land use is great. I only wish they would install some informational signs to tell more about the landfill and how it works.

Pretty chill once you get to the top.

Fun so many things to do

Awesome place for walking, cycling and running

Wonderful place to walk the dogs! Scenery is beautiful and peaceful!

Clean, quiet and no traffic.

Great for working out...

Love their trails and the park is perfect for both of my kids

Nice view from the top of the hill (less than a mile walk up a gravel road to get there). Its usually windy at this park so good for kite flying. Not much shade, especially on the playground.

Great panorama views of Raleigh...Park as soon as you pull in and walk to the right to take the trail to the top

Its a great park that many dont even know it exists

Would have never known this park had been close to a dumping area to recycle- nevertheless, pretty clean park that has a revolving roadway to go around the hill. Wish I knew there was an entryway leading to the top, gotta go next time!

Nice, short hike up the hill, great view of the sunset if you time it right.

Good clean park facilities. Good family time place.

Great place for kids to run around. Lots of open space. We had plenty of room to fly a kite! Restrooms are very close to the playground, which isnt always the case. Playground is fun. They have a couple of baby style swings. But, no big kid swings. Would go back again.

Was a pleasant time spent with friends. Could use a few more shaded amenities..

Didn’t know it was a repurposed landfill at first but we hardly noticed. There was some noise from the plant but nothing that distracted us too much. A very nice view from the top and a pleasant park for dogs and mountain biking from the trails we saw. There’s also a playground for kids!

Awesome park. Docking 1 star because it is a bit small and right next to a landfill.

My kids enjoy parking far from the playground and riding their bikes around the concrete track to the playground. Unique park experience!

Beautiful park, wonderful place for the kids to play, ride there bikes and jog the trails.

Lot of space, no trees. Good for bike riding.

My two young kids love the playground at this park. We almost always walk down to the creek as well. Havent explored, but I think there are a few trails. I do know it connects to Abbotts Creek Trail. We go pretty regularly and love it!

This is the perfect Park to walk around while your kids play. A wraparound sidewalk gives you a view of the children at all times while also allowing you to get a little fresh air with a walk. There are a few covered picnic tables, but I love this park because of its open Sunshine. The best time of year to visit is fall winter and spring.

My kid refers to this as the park with bells. Theres always lots of kids playing and there are adjacent walking trails or you can walk on the paved landfill walkway. Ive also flown model planes and there was a model helicopter pilot the other day. There is flame thing that is cool to look at as well and overall the maintenance is excellent and the bathrooms are clean. One of our favorite parks!

Fun little unique amd different park. Mtn bike trails are awesome and the skills course is the first Ive ever seen.

We love this park. Now called Green Hill Park. Nice picnic areas, some covered, good playground for kids up to about age 12. Restrooms and trails.

Great place to take our toddler to learn to ride her bike!

Went there for a photoshoot. Nice place

Very nice play equipment. The metal has a special coating so that it doesnt get too hot on the sun. However everything is in the sun all day, very little shade. There is a large covered picnic area and restrooms. Connecting off the paved paths are hiking/biking trails through the woods.The playground is at the bottom of the hill and it looks like the only way to the top is hiking from the near the entrance.

Great mtb section with a nice wooden berm perfect for beginners.

Very unique walking/driving trail that I only found out about after visiting the recycling center.

Amazing views! Dont come on a windy day or when cold unless prepared but the walk up the hill is well worth the view! Park at the main first lot, walk towards the right for a while until you get to the path which has a gate only to prevent cars from going up. Ive seen bikes and people up there and theres picnic tables as well.

Great park! I take my three year old every week weather permitted. Something there for all ages. Cant wait till he is old enough to hit the bike trails. The view from the top is well worth it. You can see downtown Raleigh from the top. Only down thing is the lack of swings. Other than that I give it 10 out of 10, especially nice having bathrooms there!

Nothing all that special here. Just a small playground, a walking Loop, and a really big hill to climb up. The top of the hill is somewhat neat at night, though. You can see the whole city of Raleigh.

Overall easy center to get in and out. Take most items on a daily basis. They also compost food items. Great trails and playgrounds for the kids too.

I was really surprised by this place. After all, it is an old landfill.Great views of the surrounding area. Its the highest point in any direction for a long way. Makes for a great walk to the top on a pretty day. There are picnic tables and den hes up top.It wouldnt call it hiking, if that is what youre looking for. Its a gravel trail up to the top of a manicured grass hill. But, its a real big hill.There are also pavilions and other things scattered throughout the park. Its a neat place.

Great place for a run or bike ride

Even though its a landfill, this is actually a pretty cool park. They have good bike trails, playground area for kids, and a really tall hill that you can see all of raleigh and the surrounding areas.

We my first time and it was easy to drop things off in the different sections. I dropped of a small refrigerator that was not repairable, old broken printer and large broken monitor as well as an old TV that did not work. They also take oils including motor oil and old paint. A full service recycling and dump area. Easy to get in and out of.

Love it

Best place to run or bike on hill. Also it only one best place to see 360 degree see all around you even can see Raleigh downtown in clear day. Top of hill have panic so bring your food and drink and enjoy your view.

Good park for the kids to go to. My five-year-old had a great time.

Beautiful views. Quiet and peaceful. Fun Hike. Great playground.

Clean park, good location right off the Neuse River Trail. I go to the park to run hill workouts on the big mountain, and the view at the top of the hill is breathtaking. You can see all the way to downtown Raleigh!

Hike to the top of the big mound and you can see Wake Forest and downtown Raleigh! Also a couple of nice playgrounds, a mountain bike trail with a pretty neat skills section.

Big open space. Very quiet. Nice large playground.

Awesome view ... clean, not busy

The view is freaking amazing! You can see the buildings from downtown Raleigh from the top of the big hill after waking up a big gravel path. Also, theres a playground and another, smaller hill and some walking trails in the woods. Also a nice small BMX ground an trails are good for mountain biking, too.

Fun playground! Good bathrooms. Needs more shade.

Nice place to walk, jug or just go for a stroll. Has a nice playground for the kiddos.

Nice shaded greenway (can connect to neuse river greenway), good playground, and plenty of shaded areas for a picnic.

Super clean park, great playground, simple/level walking/biking track.

Simple and fun. Nice bathroom facility. Never crowded.

Loved the cleanliness of the park!

Stay aware from here.... It is my personal meditation spot... LOL

A great place to play for the kids and relax for me.

Cute playground for the kids, my son enjoyed playing with his friends here. However, it was a little tricky to figure out which way to go to find the playground the first time.

Good place for a walk, nice trails to mountain bike. Playground for kids. Needs a basketball court.

Really well thought out park, with a unique use of space. Views are great, accessibility from greenways and mtb trails and skill area.

Great multi-use park. Recently added a dedicated bike/run/walk lane separate from travel lane. Great playground at the back of the park. Park at the front and hike to the highest point in Wake County, Mt. Trashmore. Access to the Abbotts Creek Greenway.

Fun place

Special place to walk up the hill snd enjoy the view

Nice equipment, lots of open space for life flying, and learning to ride a bike.

The new setup make it quick and easy..

A hidden gem!

Great park with interesting trails

A little hidden gem! It wasnt busy in the middle of the day, but there is only a small playground and not much parking space.

Very peaceful and quiet walk. Also, you can choose to walk in the woods or do a short walk around a lake in the sun.

Great little park which now had shade

Good place to ride bikes with easy access to the Greenway.

The kids enjoy it!

Nice clean park. The grandkids loved it.

Great park. Not crowded and quiet.

Strange but lovely. Nice playground.

Good place for your trash.

Probably our favorite park with a great playground and restrooms.

Greenway is good but dont ride around the dump it has an awful smell on the bike path/road
