E. Carroll Joyner Park 701 Harris Road, Wake Forest, NC 27587

"We used it to take family photos to surprise our mom, and the environment around was perfect for it. Part of my family had their dogs and they loved it too."

"We took advantage of the nice fall weather and explored Joyner Park. It’s a great place to bring a stroller for a run or walk. There are lots of paved trails. The kids picked up a Kid Track activity and did a scavenger hunt. They loved exploring the pecan grove and the old farm buildings. We had a picnic dinner near the amphitheater before heading out. There are bathrooms and water bottle fillers on this side of the park. We easily spent a couple hours here and didn’t even make it over to the community center."

"Such a cute park! So glad I was able to stop by and see it while visiting from out of state! The environment is so beautiful and had beautiful trails and paved walkways! A great little spot to see on a pretty day!"

"So many families excited to be out and about on a beautiful evening in the park! We did spend two hours there to only go on one slide and one trip through a bounce house...and parking was poorly designed...and the games lines could have been better roped off so it wasn't just a mass of people trying to figure out where to go...but many mini Spidermen got some lollipops and a trip to the playground, so all in all a success!"

"One of my favs. Lots of paved walking trails. One side is a shaded path, the other side of the park trail is more sunny. There are bathrooms in the middle, a community center at one entrance, charging stations for EV’s (J type, not CCS), a playground for the kiddos, theater area and two beautiful walkways under rows of trees. There are historical buildings, dog poop bags and dispensers and plenty of squirrels for your pup to play with. Oh and there are exercise machines along the west side walking path (shaded side)."
