About the Location
Natural Setting
MacDonald Woods Park is situated in a low-lying area within the Len's Branch floodplain, which often experiences flooding after heavy rainfall.
Winding pathways meander through the wooded landscape, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in nature.
Park Connections
One of the park's notable features is the Hinshaw Greenway, which bisects the eastern side of the park and connects to a pedestrian bridge spanning US Highway 1/64. This bridge provides a link to the nearby Kids Together Playground at Marla Dorrel Park.
The Hinshaw Greenway is part of Cary's extensive greenway system, allowing park visitors to explore beyond the immediate park boundaries and enjoy extended walks or bike rides.
Playground Facilities
The park includes separate play areas for children aged 2-5 and 5-12 years old. The playground for older children is relatively large, featuring multiple ladders, slides, monkey bars, and a climbing wall with rope.
A popular attraction among visitors is the merry-go-round, which adds a classic element to the park's recreational offerings.
The playground has a rubber surface, enhancing safety for children at play and making it accessible to people with different abilities.
Additional Amenities
Beyond the playground area, the park offers additional amenities for community use. There is an open field, picnic tables, and a basketball court, providing spaces for various outdoor activities and gatherings.
