Hill Street Park — Local services in Raleigh

Nice, clean, modern playground. I had hoped it would be good for my young toddler, but the equipment was slightly too big for him (the small structure has a label that says it is designed for 5–12 year olds, though the park website says ages 2–12 can play here). There are two bucket seat swings he could use, and he did enjoy the interactive elements of the play structure. The rubber surface on the ground is very soft.

This park is great. Our family loves trying out new playgrounds for the kids. It has swings for toddlers not older kids. This was a little disappointing because our kids love swinging.

Tucked out of the way off Raleigh Blvd / Skycrest (near Brentwood Rd) is Hill Street Park (opened in 2013). There's a nice neighborhood center w/ a "green" roof on the building (growing plants, etc).

The playground is small but modern - good for kids 8 and under. The center has summer camp, an afterschool program and other kid & adult classes. Rented their picnic shelter ($9/ hour) for an outdoor get-together.

It's hidden away, so check it out if you are nearby...
