Reviews
"Cute little quaint park, decent parking, quiet spot for families away from busy roads."
"What an adorable little park! Not only did my 2 year old love to play train conductor, but all those small homes were so fun to look at. Definitely a fan favorite!!"
"Nice and quaint little park, good for a quick glimpse into the past with the historic building, they don’t have too much information on them but the post office and play room are staged and interesting to look into it, their is also a sun dial here and a little art piece made of metal. Very clean park!"
"Wish they had more play equipment on site. Several old buildings nearby from the post office, school, playhouse, to a tobacco barn. One block from main street so a lot of shops, coffee, etc. Also a pavilion on site with a few picnic tables."
"Cute little park in downtown Fuquay. The playground is great for kids, but is on the smaller side. They have picnic tables and a shelter. Make sure to stop by the museum"
