Hanes Park — Attraction in Winston-Salem

Great location, close to shops and restaurants. We parked on the street and had no problems doing so.

Very cool playground for older kids. I wanted to play on it! Tallest slides I've ever seen on a playground!

To review the playground only, this structure has some of the biggest slides in town that can be a bit scary or rough on younger kids. They also rely on both stairs and ladders to climb the 3-story structure. They also have a separate smaller playground with a slide for small kids and multiple swing sets. Not an...
