Marsh Creek Park

This is a great park that always has activities for the kids. I attended my nephews tee ball game and the ark is clean with lots of seating. Every week there seems to be something going on there.

I am reviewing the playground area.
Who decided to put thorny planets inside the fence for the 2 – 5 year old play area? Not the best idea. Considering the landscaped area is so big and lacking plants, my son continually ran off into this area. I was disappointed in the lack of though put into a children’s play area. The 2 – 5 year old play structure was to boring for my son. It is just a walk way that leads to a small slide and a small «rock» wall. Not exciting.
The 5 and up area is a better play area. The kids who came seemed to have fun.
The other issue we had is that the March Creek Park also has some kid of day trip classes for local schools. The playground was overrun with high energy elementary school kids (about 50 after they all got out of the program). I only saw three people watching these kids. We left because it wasn’t a good fit for a toddler.
Just not my favorite park.
No tree cover either.

This place has it all! Awesome skate park, hockey arena, soccer field, baseball field, gym, basket ball, tons of space for workouts, capoeira. I don’t know why someone would complain about the new kids showing up in the area. I think it’s awesome that so many young kids go play there now. It’s a great improvement to the area since they opened it up.

Time was that this was the only place I could think of to put on some skates and play hockey. They had a spot for it, I had friends who enjoyed it, so it seemed like a natural fit.
With the addition of the skate park, though, there’s less hockey and more actual skaters than I’d have ever thought I’d see in a sanctioned Raleigh skate park.
I’m not going to pretend I know what all of the little obstacles are called or how good they are. I do know that there wasn’t much of a reason to hit that park unless I was going to play hockey then, and there doesn’t look to be much of a reason to go unless you’re going to do some skating of some kind now.
