Central Park

Green Oasis in the City

Located next to Salem Avenue in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Central Park offers a refreshing escape from the urban hustle. This public green space offers a pleasant environment for families, students, and individuals looking to spend time outdoors.

Conveniently nestled behind Old Salem and the college, the park is just a quick hop away for students needing a study break or locals looking for some fresh air. And don't worry about the parking situation - there's plenty of space to leave your car while you explore.

Trail Access

One of the park's highlights is its section of the Salem Creek Greenway, a smooth, paved trail that's meant for morning jogs, afternoon walks, or cycling adventures. The path works well for serious runners and casual dog-walkers alike.

Central Park connects different parts of Winston-Salem's greenway system. It's an ideal starting point if you're looking to explore more of what the city has to offer on foot or wheels.

Just a heads-up though - some stretches of the trail don't offer much shade. On those scorching summer days, you might want to bring a hat and some extra water!

Recreational Facilities

Tennis enthusiasts will appreciate the five lighted courts that let you keep the game going even after sunset. These well-maintained courts are open to the public for players of all skill levels.

The paved greenway surface across the park is smooth and accessible, making outdoor recreation available to everyone regardless of mobility needs.

Natural Setting

Running alongside Salem Creek, the park blends urban convenience with natural beauty. The flowing water adds a peaceful soundtrack to your visit - a nice contrast to the city sounds just beyond the park boundaries.

Central Park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 10:30PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy this green retreat whether you're an early bird or a night owl.
