Hathaway Park — Attraction in Winston-Salem

Good variety of water features. Good play ground structure. It's very nice that the splash pad and play ground are close together and the kids can go from one to the other with ease. There is a shelter with picnic tables to sit at in the shade. The play structure is getting a little rough and could use some maintenance. There are lots of rusty parts that could use some touch up paint. There is a dirt ring around the splash pad that is essentially small rocks and mud. Whoever thought it was a good idea to have a dirt ring around a splash pad probably has never been to a splash pad before.

But thats not terrible. I was more worried they would get very sick. We made some smoothies that night with some cleansing foods as well to help flush out what ever disgusting stuff that they may have swallowed. We went last year and it was...

At first it seems cool that the playground is so close to the splash pad that the kids can basically make water slides with buckets of water or just from their wet clothes, but kids were slipping around on the playground equipment and the tall twisty slide was danagerous. Manay times the kids got into "pule ups" at the bottom of the slide because when its wet it shoots the kids down super fast. Multiple times children, especially small ones, got hurt. When I went I couldnt figure out where the ladies restroom was but found out it was closed. The splash pad itself was also underwhelming. Will...
