By far my favorite park to take my dogs for walks. There's a nice playground and amazing walking trails. The trail is not paved and can be a bit steep so it may be difficult for those with mobility issues.

I didn't check out the bathrooms, but they're there. Several picnic tables plus a few benches around. The city of Chapel Hill is doing some construction behind the playground.
