Always nice and clean. I appreciate the cops driving by, hopefully to protect and serve. Nice trails to walk. Very clean. I saw restrooms, but didnt go in. Amazing trail for biking many miles... I believe I saw a playground at this location. In a nearby parking lot, Neuse River Trail parking lot, I saw people coming from an apparent entrance to the river.

Slightly a little rough, plenty of open fields and areas to play sports or picnic in. Swing set and large play area with sand for the children. The Neuse River Greenway runs through here and often has cyclists and runners. Pretty well maintained.

Such a beautiful and serene atmosphere. Went here w/my wife and good friend and basked in the scenery. Spacious landscape, swing-chairs, fields, numerous paths to venture, pavilions w/ample seating and cookout grills, restrooms, and so much more to look forward to. Ill DEFINITELY be going to this park in the near future.

I go here very often. It has plenty of parking with two lots. One on the left before the bridge that enters into the park and one you sort of run into going into the park. They have bathrooms that are usually pretty clean, water fountains, and an air pump for bicycle tires. There is a play are for kids and plenty of places to hike or ride. I come here to ride my bike on the Greenway. One heads north to the lake, south to Clayton, and one heads towards downtown Raleigh. There are also plenty of places for picnicking.

I ride past this place, and its nice to have restrooms and a shaded picnic area on the trail. Another huge bonus is the full set of bike tools and repair stand available for use just off the trail near the restrooms and picnic area. I havent had to use them, but its great to know a real bike pump and basic tools are available in case I ever need them.

A beautiful place to go any day, any time. An amazing walking trail that follows the Neuse River to venture on. Its a calming and great for the kids. Theres a big field, right by the park, for anything like soccer up to baseball. There is two main eating areas where a bathroom available beside the field and park.

One of my favorite places to run and bike. Its always very clean, I have never not felt safe while on the trial or in the park area. I love that there is a bathroom and water fountains available. The scenery is nice while you walk, run, or bike. I do enjoy that the landscape varies, there are hills and curves, bridges...etc.

This is a great park and is a good place to fill up your water if your going for a long bike ride. The park also seems very entertaining to kids. The lighting is good at night and also seems enjoyable for a stop on biking adventures.It also seems like a good park to have a picnic! I would recommend checking out the swinging benches here and also its a good spot to take pictures at!KF

We really enjoyed this park and wished we knew about it sooner! There is a great playground for kids complete with slides on the hill which is a cool feature. There are also a bunch of walking/bike trails to explore and covered picnic shelters that would be perfect to host a party at.

Im sure most in the area already have been, but first time for us. Major crossroads of a number of regional bicycle trails with full conveniences including a bike repair station with tools and air pump. Bench swings, large playground, and picnic shelters. Big thumbs up!

My niece in law gave her mother a 70th birthday party. All her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren was in attendance. It was held in a cottage at the park. The cottage was big enough for everyone. It was equipped with a kitchen and bathroom, tables and chairs. I would recommend this park. There was also a playground for the kids and a trail for biking, walking and running.

Nice park with good facilities. Greatest asset is access to the Neuse River Trail. Good launching place or rest stop for bike rides on the 30+ mile paved greenway. Located about mid-point on the trail. Plenty of parking.

An
Review №43

The park itself is relatively large, with lots of families using it for picnics, frisbee, and general fun. Theres a cottage that might be rented out. There are two parking lots, one just before the bridge to the park, and one after. Although the lots can can fill quickly, you never feel crowded on the bike trails. Thanks you to the Raleigh city fathers that planned and paid for the park and bike trails. Your foresight is appreciated.

The Boat Launch point is dangerous, as soon as you launch you need to paddle upstream to get around a field of logs. Poorly taken care of.

Great park to take a ride to Johnston County or toward Raleigh and other points. There are picnic areas and access points to Neuse River but Ive enjoyed the paved path that is mostly in the shade. Enjoyed by many couples, families and joggers alike.

I personally love this park for how quite it is. Every time Ive been it hasnt been crowded and my kids can run free without me trying to keep an eye on them among tons of other kids. The slides on the hill is a fun touch!

Overcrowded on the weekend but lovely during off hours. Bike/walking trails, paths through a meadow, public porch swings with a nice view. Big swings area for kids. One of the nicest of Raleighs parks.

Review №56

Honestly, Id classify Raleighs bike trails as the citys leading attraction, and Anderson Point Park is the starting point for many of its trails. From here you can bike to Clayton, North Hills, NC State, and so many other places. The prime trails are along the Neuse river. Lots of well maintained asphalt paved paths, quaint bridges, and ample shade, and teaming wildlife. The park itself is relatively large, with lots of families using it for picnics, frisbee, and general fun. Theres a cottage that might be rented out. There are two parking lots, one just before the bridge to the park, and one after. Although the lots can can fill quickly, you never feel crowded on the bike trails.

Review №62

Great for mixed scenic trails featuring a lot of bridges, wildlife and the occasional urban neighborhood. Hasnt been too crowded the four times Ive been and I can easily bike ride +20 miles on the maintained greenways.There was good amount of light hills to keep it interesting, but not too much to make it tiresome.Weather alert: My last ride was after the heavy storms and there were some trails impassable due to heavy flooding, but there were enough other routes/trails that made this a great starting point regardless.

Neusse River Greenway is on either side. Best place in Raleigh for a flat long run or bike ride. Through the park will offer more shade.

A nice varied space for children to play, as their parents sit on comfortable benches to view. Needed a little spruce up, but it looks like they are working on a few of the little areas. Worth the trip

Big park with good hiking and biking trails. Parking a bit of an issue for the pavilion areas. Plenty of open green space. Stars would be 4 or 5, but when we showed up with our group of 100+ for the larger pavilion (reservations made in June), there was a birthday party there utilizing 20% of the space and our group was not on the list for reserved...oops....

I bike along Neuse River for almost a year now, but never had a chance to stop and look around before today. I brought my mother and son to the park and they had quite a lot of fun on the playground and walking around a great open area in the middle of the park. They have plenty of swings and benches located all over the place. We especially enjoyed the nicely shaded gazebo tucked away to the side of Anderson park.

This is a beautiful space with a nice playground. Tons of green space to run around, lots of unique equipment. I was surprised that the park was pretty empty when we visited on a warm fall Saturday recently. Theres some wear to the equipment and there was a little bit of trash on the playground, but we just picked it up and put in the nearby trashcans. There were working water fountains, too.

Review №98

Plenty of parking (both sides of the bridge) with shady park benches, restrooms, and water fountain, all in a 5 minute walk radius. Theres an entrance nearby into Neuse river for your paddle boats/Kayaks. Easy access to North and South Neuse River Trail, and this is somewhere right around the midpoint. Its around 16 miles down south to the south end of Neuse River Trail, and 17 miles up north to the falls. Access nearby to Crabtree Creek Greenway and Walnut Creek Trail. Areas up north and down south on Neuse River Trail do get flooded after a heavy rain.
