Little Creek Park

Play & Recreation Spaces

Located in Winston-Salem, Little Creek Park is a breath of fresh air for families looking to spend quality time outdoors. The two playgrounds are definitely a highlight, each thoughtfully designed for the little ones (ages 1-8). With rubber safety surfacing underfoot, parents can relax a bit more while watching the kids explore. One thing to note though - if your kiddos are swing enthusiasts, you might need to temper their expectations as swings aren't part of the setup.

When summer heat hits, the splash pad becomes the park's most popular spot. It's conveniently positioned right by the playground - fantastic for keeping an eye on children who can't decide between splashing or climbing.

Sports for Everyone

Athletes and casual players alike will find something to love here. The park features a well-maintained baseball/softball diamond and soccer field for team sports enthusiasts. If basketball or tennis is more your speed, you're covered with a nice basketball court and 3-4 tennis courts ready for action.

For those who prefer a solo workout or a peaceful stroll, you have options: take a turn around the sand and stone walking path or hop on the paved biking trail that runs through the park grounds. The varied surfaces give you different experiences each visit.

Chill-Out Spots

When it's time to refuel or just relax, Little Creek offers several options. The picnic shelters come equipped with restrooms nearby and grills for cooking up a simple outdoor meal. You can even reserve these shelters for family gatherings or small celebrations.

Thoughtfully placed shaded areas within the park offer refuge on sunny days, while open grassy spaces invite impromptu games of frisbee or simply stretching out with a good book.

Trail Connections

One of the park's best features is its connection to the Little Creek Greenway. This paved trail stretches 0.77 miles through the park and connects to surrounding areas, good for longer walks, jogs, or bike rides. The City of Winston-Salem maintains the trail regularly.

Community Hub

The park also features a neighborhood community center used by locals. If you're planning to visit the center, just remember it runs on its own schedule, typically opening around 2:00 PM.

The park occasionally serves a civic function too, having been used as an early voting location for Forsyth County elections.
