Great place. I love it here. Very beautiful and quiet. Lots of walking trails, an old cemetery, the river and old buildings to see.

A precious nearby gem - fun to explore! So many beautiful areas in this little park. Unfortunately there is lots of broken glass and some trash around.*I dont know how to respond back to the business... I just want them to know that we also try to pick up any trash we see. Well bring a couple bags next time we come. The glass is a big deal though... theres lots of it over by the graveyard and the path leading up to it. We should collect it and make art! :) Thanks for your response - we love your park!

Neat little village..should take you about 45 min to go through it

This was a great place. It has historical value and really brings people together. I like how multiple events happen here all the time.

Great historic spot with tons of beautiful natural walking paths. Pet friendly with tons of variety for photo sessions and the staff is very helpful!

We really enjoyed our visit and hope to go back when the buildings are open.

Great place super great idea to keep something like that going and open for the public absolutely beautiful

Great place to walk and beautiful scenery

Awesome place. Wonderful Staff

Its very nice, river trail with huge trees and plenty of shade

Great historical site for Goldsboro. Love the park and hiking trails. Different trails for your time and experience. Went for the bee day and had a great time.

I’ve been here time and time again for photography and I find new hidden gems each time I come! I challenge you to walk the whole grounds! It won’t disappoint!

Waynesborough provided an excellent venue for our Cub Scouts to participate in their Summer Day Camp.

Of course it floods occasionally, being near the river, but we LOVE it here

Trails are easy to walk and they have benches to rest on as you go.

Beautiful place something different. .. We just love it

Enjoyed what we got to see. It was raining heavily when we were here and had to leave before we could see all of the buildings. The lady that welcomed us was so nice and friendly! Planning on trying to go back next time we are in the area...

They have the paths trimmed going down to the river. Much better park than it used to be.

This was the cutest little place! There was no one around. I dont know anything about why it was here. I would have loved to see inside ther buildings!

Great place to have a wedding

The amount of Historical buildings and artifacts, especially their Civil War Collection is second to none in the area. Some of the buildings are in a state of disrepair due to lack of funding (the park runs on mostly donations I believe.) There is a nice meadow area in the back of the park with an amazing overlook above the Neuse River. Id recommend Old Waynesborough Park to History junkies, although, it has a regional focus specific to Southeastern NC with all of the buildings being original to Wayne County.

Very nice place. Trails to hike or bike, civil war relics and restrooms. Signage is clear to the cemetery.

Our family had my mom in laws 90th surprise Birthday party here in the Waynesboro House. It was awesome and so was the house. Great place and scenery is just awesome for pictures.

We were greeted by 2 barking dogs that ran to us barking and jumping on 2 five year olds scratching one and scared the other who kept saying hes trying to eat my shirt ( we have a great Dane ). While being told I should have made an appointment to see the historic area I had to keep pushing the dogs away with my foot while holding both kids. I had 5 other kids with me who were afraid to move. We wanted to see the museum welcome center also. Not once did the person pull the dogs back or try to keep them away or lock them in an office. No the dogs were not vicious aggressors. But they were extremely inappropriate for a public place and their owner was hugely irresponsible and insensitive. I loaded 7 kids back in the van returned to the visitor center and asked, yes or no can we see the village area? The person was more interested in questioning how we ended up there and why. I explained again we saw the sign and decided to stop. Yes or no can we see it? She did go and open the doors accompanied by the dogs. After she returned to museum welcome center. We enjoyed the area. Very nice look at life before electricity. Can not comment on museum welcome center. If it were not for the irresponsible dog owner it is a definite stop and see 1to 2 hours easy small path area.

Awesome Place. If you Love Civil War historyYou have got to visit Waynesboro State ParkReally cool historical buildings and artifacts

Great family place and it’s pet friendly.

Beautiful park and amazing historical buildings to tour. The welcome center has a really interesting collection of civil war artifacts to see. The employee on staff today was very friendly and knowledgeable about the items and buildings on display. If you are travelling anywhere near the Goldsboro area this is a great little museum to visit and on a nice day the park and trails behind are perfect for a picnic lunch and to stretch your legs. Reasonably close to the downtown areas you can grab subs or whatever to-go and come here to eat and explore

Awesome place to come walk and they have festivals and all types of events here thats so much fun

Love this place.

Great state park I love Lynn wadell shes awesome lady come visit walk the trails learn some history about you County

Rustic place with old buildings to see and a museum. Great for learning about history.

A lovely place to take a walk. Even has places to sit and watch the river. Had a wonderfully peaceful visit.

Great place to go with kids, friendly helpful staff, local history and walking trails.

Trails are well kept. Beautiful hidden gem.

Not as well kept as it used to be but still a nice place for a walk and Pokemon Go

A great place to take family and prom photos and very popular for those things. Check out the visitors center for ideas of things to do in the state. A few walking trails and kinda close to Busco Beach that you can hear all the ATVs and dirt bikes.

Nice shady place. Beautiful trees. Pig in the park event every year. Plus some history.

Great place to walk

Very well kept, informative though some structures dont have information plaques, currently. There are a few geocaches, here, if youre involved in that! Very cute place.

Some trails are inaccessible because of damage from Hurricane Florence. Park in general needs a good bit of maintenance but still a decent hike

Wonderful place, my dad got married there.

Cute little park with trails. Short trails, nice river view.

Love running the trails and seeing the Wildlife.

Very serene. mostly used for photos because of the scenery.

Perfect place for photo opportunities and a great place to pack a lunch and bring the family. Waynesboro State Park is a surprising little place tucked away in the outskirts of Goldsby. Several historic houses were brought in and placed strategicly reminiscent of an old town. Nice for a Sunday outting. You can walk or ride your bike on the trails.

Neat place to take the kids, nice walking trails too.

Great hiking trails. The historical village is well-maintained. Staff are very nice and welcoming.

It was raining when i was there. Ionly went there for one purpose, tosee the odd fellows museum. It was very much a dissapointment.

Great little park for get togethers. Nice welcome center and love the old houses.

Its such a nice vintage village and park with lots of yearly educational and entertaining festivals going on.

Great place, full of history. Historic buildings preserved and showcased. Only negative is the staff, somewhat arrogant and not very helpful. Thankfully this does not represent all staff.

Great trails & very pleasant. Able to walk my dogs & let them go in the water

Pulled in . Stepped out of car. Rudely greeted by wonan on the porch. Walked in to the visitors center and questioned on why we were here. Rude behaviors by same woman office employee. Felt very unwelcome. Walked around quaint area briefly. Left. Will not recoment to anyone to go into visitors center.

It was very nice .alot of old stuff.

A beautiful place to spend quality time with family or alone

Listed as part of Wayne County Geotrail. I was going to speak in the visitor center and grabbed my pocketbook In case they had items for sell but the door was locked at 4:00. Rude lady came via car and told me geocaching and Pokémon were not welcome. I had driven an hour and a half and would never had made the trip there without the game. The lady called a superior by her telephone and shoved the phone in my face twice (germs). I’m a nurse and enjoy getting outside especially with the spring weather. I felt totally unwelcomed.

Mad that we only discovered this park in January, after living nearby for four years. Its right off 117, easy to miss. Slow down once you see the Armory on the other side of the street.Lots of historical information up front, houses to look at, exhibits. Check those hours separately. (I believe you can rent spaces for events, too.)We have used the park in the back more. Theres a 2 mile loop trail that will be underwater part of the way if the water is up. (If you think it looks soggy, it gets worse. Turn back and take the blue trail shortcut.)Dogs love the sniffs; we love the exercise and (mostly) quiet. Busco Beach is right across the river, so youll hear the ATVs if theyre having an event. Else, wonderful, and right next to almost-downtown Goldsboro.

Old Waynesborough Park is located just west of Goldsboro at the site of the former town of Waynesborough. Originally the seat of Wayne County, the town began to lose residents with the coming of the railroad to nearby Goldsboro. What remained of the town was burned by Union troops during the civil war. In the 1980s, Waynesborough was a state park and transferred to the Old Waynesborough Commission in 1999. Today, there are about 4 miles of hiking trails along the Neuse River and a historical village with buildings representing Wayne Countys past. Across the Neuse River is an ATV park, so expect the loud engine noise while on the trails. At a couple points, we had a nice view across the river and enjoyed watching them splash through big mud puddles. We took our dog for a hike here while visiting Goldsboro and had a really nice time.

A place of history along with fishing and hiking trails. Great place for those who like the outdoors. There are various species of fowl that migrate through the park.

Ive lived here for about nine months and randomly found it on Google this afternoon. This place is awesome, a quiet little place to wander for Emerson-style walks in the woods. Check it out!

Little trails and such access to neuse river for fishing

Nice big park.v visited wth my grandson my two daughters.

Luv to visit here take photos of people win i take photo sessions of others. The only thing i dislike is one of the workers as i always ask is it ok tp take photos of others the lady always has an additude when asked & tells us that we have to stay in one area. Why would we have to dtay in one area unless a wedding is going that would be understandable but when not then it really isnt a problem rpaming to take photos in other areas of the park. Make me at times not wanting to visit and go other places to take photos of otherss.

Nice historical area, great walking trails, neat buildings to explore.

Great for any outdoor charity event you have or picnic

Family friendly. Great park

Great place. Nothing fancy clean.

Love the staff and it is really cool to see the old history

Learn local history, walk various trails, camping, fishing and more. Great place

Close proximity makes for a nice trail run.

A lot of very interesting historic information.

Not a boat launch but kayaks and canoes can be put in

The only complaint is the ATV park across the river that causes a little noise pollution. Great place to expend energy and enjoy nature.

Great historical perspective and the hiking trails are easy to traverse.

Awesome park. Great history here.

Beautiful. Peaceful. Nature trail

Beautiful could use better trail markers
