Waterfalls, playgrounds: Three Alamance County parks worth exploring
WRAL contributor Tandra Wilkerson takes you on a trip to three parks that offer family fun.
Posted — UpdatedAs a family, we spend as much time in nature as possible. Although my daughters and I freak out over anything that buzzes, autumn is our jam. There are way less bugs than in summer which makes our experiences more enjoyable.
We're lucky to have local parks with plentiful options. The Alamance County parks below not only have a variety of hiking trails but also unique playgrounds, picturesque views, and open spaces to relax (or run wild!) all in one.
In no particular order, allow me to share a few.
It's a 500-acre nature park and historic farm. When the animals are out, interacting with them is a big hit with kids. There are also basketball and volleyball courts, canoe rentals, a small waterfall and much more. You could easily spend a day here with your family.
We've only visited a couple of times but my daughters really enjoy it. On the 18+ acres are climbing boulders, an obstacle course, inclusive playground, and a plethora of other things to entertain your kids.
Graham Regional Park is also known for its zipline. However, the last time we were there, it was out of service. I'm not sure of its current state but be assured, there's plenty to do!
If you'd like to see the fun my girls had the first time we visited, check out this older vlog below:
And there you have it... a few Alamance County Parks to enjoy all year round! If you're in the area, stop by and create your own memories. I'd love to know what you think of each location.
