Love the park, but have never understood why the city took so much time and money to rebuild this into the amazing park that it is but only provided about half the parking needed for park capacity.
Awesome park for the kids. Train rides, playgrounds, snack bars, carousel, paddle boats, etc. Only downside is no air conditioning on the train; just roll your window down. :)
Beautiful park love taking my kids
If you arrive before the park gate opens, you can safely park on the shoulder without risk of being towed. (Harrison Ave Entrance)
Saturday mornings are busy, but a great time to hike the park in the fall!
Nice to have such a great park nearby.
Park at the North Carolina Museum of Art and ride your bike through the Art Park and all the way to Umstead via the greenway trails! Read more.
I use this entrance to get to the bridal head parking area. From there you have great access to the interior of the park, where you can run, bike or walk on the beautiful Turkey Creek Trail - my favo Read more.
Explore both sides of the park. There are 2 entrances. One off 40 & one off 70.
Best doggie park ever! Clean, human bathrooms, good dogs & people. Lots of shade so its nice on hot days. We love it! Bug spray is a good idea.
Great dog park. Mulch spread all around the enclosure. Clean and happy play pen for dogs. Bonehead loves it here!
I love this park. Lots of trees and room for dogs to play.
Great free concerts in the park during the summertime

You'll have a hoot if they bag their poop :) what an awesome dog park!
Great park for kickball!
Great day to b at the park with the grandkids. We have all 4 2day!
I love Anderson Point Park—it's truly one of my top 5 or 10 favorite parks in Raleigh. But the signs that refer to the "SCENIC OVERLOOK"? Well, honestly, it's neither.
Overall we like this park. Plenty of open spaces for the kids to run and free play. Playground is above average. Biking/hiking trail by the river is great. Downside: sometimes sketchy people..
Check out morning yoga in the park w @blissfulmindwellness
Check out the NC Fallen Firefighters Memorial in the center of the park.
Lovely square to walk around in.
There are three sections of the dog park: individual, small dogs and big dogs. Some people take little dogs into the big dog pen because it's so big, so be prepared if you have a bully breed. Read more.
It's never a good idea for an eight year old to run around in a dog park. Kids get hurt when seventy lb dogs jump on them. Seriously people.
Pretty decent open area for dogs to run around!
Walk to the Cloud Chamber for the Trees and Sky in the Museum Park and check out the camera obscura effect inside. Read more.
Beautiful interior spaces, great event calendar, and lovely sculpture park.
The permanent collections, exhibits, and even outdoor space are all wonderful. You can spend a whole day here.
Park Underneath and your car will stay cool and protected from the elements!
Pro tip: To save time, park in the parking garage.
The parking can be frustrating so make sure to park in the parking garages. North Hills has something for everyone.
Great setup for a park, lots of different options!
Really nice, large playground.
Sign up for affordable classes!
The museum’s 164-acre park includes sculptures and other installations along a network of trails that connect to Raleigh’s greenway system. Read more.
I love the cool exhibits. I felt like I was in a Dr. Seuss book.
Beautifully landscaped, full of outdoor art and sculpture, and connects to the Reedy Creek Trail.
Get there early to get a parking spot otherwise you will park anywhere you can along the side of the road
If you are going to a week day concert, plan to get there early as traffic can get really bad. We missed a lot of the first band due to long lines while trying to park and get to the venue.
Great outdoor venue for concerts!
Dog park fun
The best courts.
I wish there was more than one tree for a shaded area by the playground. Maybe those sun tarps would be a good idea.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
