A vast park with so many things to do for anyone and everyone. Sunflower field, dog park, large sports field, playgrounds, trails, maps, and NCCU campus things.

Can see the beautiful city lights at night. Great place for a solitary stroll through the woods around dusk.

They are all sorts of flat parking areas but getting a wheel chair to the sunflowers can be tricky. It's grass and dirt once you leave the paved parking area. If you park by the soccer fields it's all dirt.

It's less than 2miles or so from Hillsborough St which has Wendy's, McDonald's and Bojangles all close by each other and very easy to get to from the park. There is the farmers market and a Subway even closer on lake Wheeler rd.
