Poe Center for Health Education

"SUCH A FUN, CREATIVE PLACE! They have a super cool outdoor playground area with lots of fun things for kids of all ages to play on! There’s a fence maze, a new modern playground structure, a custom-made play structure that you climb up to get onto, then there are two HUGE red tube slides to slide down on! A really super cool play area for kids and learn about health-related topics."

"Such a great park. Plenty to do for both children and adults. Very safe as well, and this is a great place for kids to learn about health and wellness."

"I came here as a chaperone on a field trip and I was blown away. The work they do here is incredible and the way they communicate such important things to children is really well done. Both teachers of the classes we went to were gifted with kids, extremely engaging and I could tell the kids got so much out of the whole experience. I’m so glad we have something like this is NC!"

"Play Well Park is almost 6 stars. The equipment is largely unshaded. There is shade to rest in. That being said Holy Cow!! What a terrific park. If you haven't made it here with your little ones, make a date. Looks like they're installing misters also."

"It was great! We got to learn how to be healthy (this field trip happened in 4th grade, aka a year ago) and we got to go inside the giant head in the middle to learn about the brain. The part where we had to learn about what healthy foods we can eat and what bad foods can ruin your body systems and etc, it encouraged me to try a baked potato. Now I have it on one of my favorite foods! Thank you for opening such a wonderful center to learn and go to. On Monday (December 18, 2017) I will have to go there for another field trip to learn about puberty. I would love to go there again!"
