Camelot Playground — Attraction in Pinehurst

This is a wonderful place to take your children as long as everyone follows the rules, and most people do. If you have small children, please be careful, as older children run around and are oblivious to the fact that much smaller kids are also utilizing the park. There is no malice intended, but smaller kids could easily get trampled by 9-12 yr olds flying around. Additionally, there seems to always be at least one group of kids unsupervised. This is also a NO PET park! There are signs everywhere stating that NO pets are allowed. This is a park intended as a confined gated space that parents can take their children to enjoy themselves. It is not intended for dogs, cats, etc., even if it is a beloved family pet. Please be respectful of this. The playground is lined with wood chips all over intended to make it safe for kids, not as a bathroom...

In my son's words: "This is the bestest park in the whole...

One of the best playgrounds for older kids. It looks like a castle and there are so many places where your children can climb up, slide down, climb a rope, drive a wood car, swings, have a picnic at tables, scream at each other from one fort to another, and...hide. Took off one star for it being enclosed, but not all the way. If you're not carefully watching, your child can get outside through one of the forts without you noticing. I thought there was only one way in and out, usually where the parents sit and watch, until one day my child was outside. Outside the main area is another climbing gym, balance steps, and a paved area for skateboarding or scooters. Another con is how far away the bathrooms area (small but notable inconvenience for parents with children who are...
