Very clean very pretty love the animals and science lab is cool and fun love the pounds great fishing you can go fishing every day nice shade from the trees you can fish even when the building is closed as long as you have your fishing license nice place to have birthday partys and cook outs they rent RV spots for camping really nice place to bring family and friends beautiful nature the restrooms are nice even have showers in them for the campers Im not sure if they swim there but just might can but Id check that out first big park for children to play in nice place to go walking for exercising just a really cool fun family and friends place to come to . Check out all my pictures I posted .

This place is run by enthusiastic people. Our family loved exploring the exhibits today. Cant wait to revisit on a dry day for the kids to enjoy the nice playground. Excited to hear of great scout camping opportunities as well.

I had lots of fun I really recommend this place for your kids and it has a museum to dont forget to stop there

Nice place to hang out by the river and theres a planetarium

Good place to have a reunion and visit. Animals are always a good site to see.

Clean and family friendly. Lots to do

Fun to search for shark teeth, playground, birds in the back, small amount of wildlife, etc...

A great little hidden gem! The campground is very inexpensive, quiet, simple, and relaxing. You can fish, ride your bike, go to the park, ride the train, check out kayaks and canoes for free, go to the planetarium, and visit the nature center. We love going and the grandkids absolutely love the awesome little nature center. Right not we’re going through the pandemic so some parts are closed but the camping is open. If my memory is correct, for full hookups it is somewhere between $20-$25, I just don’t remember. The campground is in the heart of Kinston, right on the Neuse River and during the summer sometimes you can hear some of the bands that are playing in the park. This is a safe place to camp with your family and enjoy the great outdoors. They can swim in the river but be careful as the water moves swiftly, especially when it’s high. There is not a swimming pool. They do have a shower house you can drive up too. The spaces are rock, dirt, and leaves. All the spaces have to plenty of space. There is no cable but I can pick up a ton of stations coming out of Raleigh. You can camp and eat downtown Kinston. In fact, I am a local and I still choose to camp here, I love it so much. Why go so far away and spend all your money when you can save money and spend great quality time with your family?!?!

Great place to camp. The price is very right. 20 for water / electric hook ups, and right on the water. Very clean and a beautiful place.

Serene, peaceful, great for meditation & study by the water! Great playground for kids & safe. Other nice amenities also

Wouldve been better if the North Carolina Demacrap governor would have not closed everything fun

Good place to go for peace and quite and a good view

My son says it would be 5 stars if the train was open

We came in a group of 14 RVs that needed someplace to live while helping with disaster relief after Hurricane Florence. They accommodated all of us. Seven of us got the full hook up sites and the rest are waiting for the necessary repairs from the flooding. We are very thankful for the hospitality and affordable rates while we are away from home helping others.

Great play ground. A rock climbing wall. Interesting animal and nature exhibits. Didnt check out the planetarium.

If you want peace and quiet. Here is the place

One of our favorite weekend get always. Beautiful, quiet and close to town and things to do. Camp Host is one awesome man who is friendly and helpful.

A great place for the kids to play and learn

My Kids absolutely love this place

This is my favorite place to chill in Kinston, no contest. Its a wonderful place to read a book, run, camp, or go fishing.

Nice quiet park, just right to get away and relax.

An amazingly gentle and pleasant place to have dinner by the river, there are both picnic tables and swinging bench seats.

Wonderful place! We camped there they have tent and RV camping for a reasonable rate we only paid ten bucks! I may even have shower I will definitely return :-)

My grandchildren had a great time.

Its a wonderful little park to take my kid to. Love the sandy spots, the river, planitarum, and the nature exibit!

A good location for families, mainly children.

Nice.peacful.

Worth a stop. The two science buildings are interactive and fun for all ages. I see people fishing all the time and theres a lot of grassy areas to have a picnic and swinging chairs to enjoy the river. RV area is always in use. Playground is sturdy and maintained well and the train is an interesting feature most parks dont have, although it does cost money and runs certain hours. The place has a lot of history.

I was impressed with the information available. Staff director is very informative about all aspects of the available information and readily willing to share her information. The dedication by staff is evident. Clean facility. Nice grounds.

I was looking for a place to fish. The park was closed (no services), however the camping was open. The Neuse River was adjacent, and I found 2 ponds nearby for fishing.

Really neat city park, nature center and campground. This was our second visit, certainly wont be our last!

This is the park that i said i liked the most.you can fish in different ponds.swim in the river, walk trails and camp and so much more

Im a full time RVer and stayed 2 nights at Neuseway City Park as a stopover on the way to Florida. It was in November so there were very few campers. Easy to drive in and just pick a spot. The camp host takes the money, cash only and is only $20 per night. I had a 50 Amp spot with water and was all that I needed. They offer free WiFi that worked pretty well using my laptop. Very quiet and very peaceful and close to town if you need anything.

The beaver in The pond was playing and having fun. So was my pitbull.

Nice place to go hang for the day. Everything is free. Some cool animals down in the cave to look at. Super tall 3 story slide on the play ground too. Kids loved it.

Unfortunately the recent floods have left this place not much more than a river. The playground and park areas are completely submerged.

Very nice place

Its the Best value in Kinston. All ages would find this part to your liking. They have a small zoo, a planetarium, or fish from the bank.they even have a nice camping ground but the last time I heard it was closed because they got flooded call them ahead of time. Make it a day come early to the park and watch the Kinston wood ducks play in the evening.

Very Pretty River view, fun activities to participate in. Educational, and an enjoyable experience. If you live around here, I recommend you visit, and if you are visiting the area it is a fun place to go. Kind of dirty in some places, though.

Beauitful Park! Has museum and train for kids. Awesome swing benches facing the water. Great for a date or day with kids/grandkids.

Wonderful place to go and relax for for lunch or just admire nature.

Very nice campground with planetarium

Very nice park in the city of Kinston. Has a playground for the kids, a camping and RV site, and plenty of room to just walk around and enjoy nature. Theres some other activities as well, but cant remember the name of the building or enclosure off the top of my head. I do remember one enclosure having birds in it. There are bathrooms located on site and plenty of shaded areas. Picnic tables are available as well, but I didnt notice any soda or snack machines, so bring food and drinks with you if you plan to stay awhile. There are a few swings located right in front of the river that are very relaxing and provide an excellent view of the river and the boats that travel up and down the waterway.

We’ve been here a couple of times with our children and then our grandson. This park is always well maintained and clean and the kids always have a great time. There are shaded picnic tables as well.

I drove and looked at the whole area to see what it was all about. There were quite a few spaces for campers, tents, etc. I never was able to go to see the waterway due to my disability. What I did see was beautiful and well kept.

Definitely a good place to entertain children fro little to no money. Great to see they are bouncing back from flooding so well. Hope they bring more animals back to the nature center.

Great animal exhibits and touch tank. My family really enjoys visiting.

Great place

I like going there with my grandkids they have so much fun there

Great place for the entire family. If you love nature they have something for everyone

It was so beautiful having lunch there today!!

A decent place to rent for gatherings.

Nice place, but they need more funding to bring it up to date, but its Avery nice place to visit and relax, they take donation s so dont be stingy, we liked it and plan on revisiting.soon

No luck but fun

Lovely place on the Neuse River, like the area real well. Friendly helpful folks. Just Love it.

Great experience

Well maintained grounds, Camping/RV area, intetactive science area, picnic, play area and direct access to Neuse river. Friendly staff.

One of the best play sets I have ever seen. The kids love it.

Very coolway to spend a day with the kids! It is educational and well-kept area.

Lovely and fun

Our kids loved this park. They have about 6 slides, baby swings, swings for bigger kids, a nature center with animal exhibits and outside animals like birds and owls. Lots of other kids for our kids to play with, they have an old walk in train for kids to walk in and play with, they have really tall slides for bigger kids. They have a huge lake with swinging chairs to sit on and enjoy the scenery. Im only giving it 4 stars because the water fountain was flooding and looked very unsanitary also there were no bathrooms for when the nature center is closed (if there was porta pottys I sure didnt see them), so I had to pop a squat near the lake and thank God the kids didnt have to use the potty because they would have had to pop a squat too. All in all besides those two factors it is a great park for all ages.

Campground is great value. Will return to stay again next time in the area.

Maybe my visit was at a off time. There was no one there, grass needed cutting & watch out for snakes. Im disabled & have a service dog, this made me very nervous & left within 2 minutes

Nice park right by the river, with a playground, plus picnic and camping near by.

Great park with a lot of free adventures for children. Also has camp grounds.

Great place to bring the family.

A very nice place.

It is a all around good place for for out door fun. Camp grounds, fishing pounds, play ground, live animal Xzibit, nature and safety center, cook out Area w/grills and running water, kids train rides, and all are very clean/well kept

Awesome place to camp at!!!! Staff was very nice and helpful!!! Very clean place to go to right on the water

Great place for children and adults to enjoy nature, educate yourself about animals or even science. I definitely recommend you visit this place.

Nice little educational center, but it was a bit depressing seeing those beautiful birds locked up in such small cages. I feel worse for them than I do for some prisoners. Maybe donations to this center could offer more enrichment for the animals on display

Neat place as far as activities goes. Good place to take your kids for some playground fun or a picnic. Unfortunately, its still under repair in some areas and I didnt particularly like the fact that an owl and a hawk were outside in this heat in some rather small cages....

Fun place to take the kids for a outing.

The only park u like taking my kids its off road dont have to worrie about them getting in to the busy road theres a place to play indoors for when its supper hot and there animal attraction

When I can I usually go for my walks at the Neuse National Park. As I am an outdoors person.

This is a great place for the family. So much to do.

Nice picnic area and clean. Has a RV park

Great place to take the Kids. Its free entertainment. One thing I would like to see is some adult size chairs downstairs where it is air-conditioned. The pre-kindergarten furniture is very difficult on the adult back.

While the playground is really nice it has been over a year that the tallest area has been taped off yet children still climbing up and over the caution tape. Train ride was fun for the little ones too.

Great for family and friends for outside activity

Love this place.

Very nice park with a camping area and the neuse river is right there.

I love this place. Great place to fish. I want to camp here.

Amazing little nature center that could.Stumbled upon this gem by accident and so glad I did. Its tiny but in that small area they fit a lot of animals and a ton of personality! The area is adorable, the kids science museum right next door, the bench swings on the river. What a find. Go check it out!

Great place to bring the kids for the afternoon!

Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings. The RV park has limited spaces. Its right on the Neuse. Nice and quiet. Most spaces are in the trees (shade).

Very nice..!

This is awesome to take the kiddos too. Sadly the exhibits are closed on Mondays. But during open hours its guaranteed that they will have fun.

Awesome playground and museum full of educational value...will definitely be going again.

A friend had a wedding here and it turned out beautiful. Very nice park.

My kids love it here!

They have many reptiles you can see along with educational events for kids. Also, they have a public fishing area.

Best park around.

This is a great park...

It is a fun place to go with the family and kids

Maybe it was just where we were, but the access to the river is very limited. The Health and Science Museum has what can only be described as weird exhibits, and the Planetarium show was fine, but not as good as the one at A Time for Science in Ayden.

Great little spot for impromptu learning.

Awsome

It is a nice place to go

Good place to walk
