Great family experience. My 7 year old loved it. Im glad to see him excited about history
This national park has it all. Convenient location, great trails, and a great history of the battle of Guilford Courthouse for the American Revolutionary War. Nathanael Greene was in charge of the American forces and he is the namesake for Greensboro, NC. He fought against General Cornwallis. Come learn of the history here where it is said that the armies of General Greene were first called Tar Heels because they stuck their heels in the dirt and would not move Cornwallis said they fight like they have tar on their heels. Hence, the Tarheel state.
Great place to visit with family and learn about the history that took place in this area. Get a chance to get some incite along with the experience what took place in this particular area. Have a great half hour movie.
Wonderful piece of U.S. History. The rangers all had wonderful passion and shared it with my son and I. I recommend the whole walk. Stop by the Welcome Center and watch the National Parks video. Puts it into great context. The hike is well worth it. My 5 year old has sparked an interest in history and this really brought it to life for him. For me it exemplifies the sacrifice these men made for our new nation. The battle of New Garden was hand to hand, house to house. Led by "Lighthorse" Henry Lee. It was this battle that sent Cornwalis packing toward Yorktown!
Great for walking, jogging, and biking. It's cool to see all the history from the Revolutionary War. The park is well maintained.
Great park. While I'm all about the history, there are many, many people who come here to walk or run. Keep in mind though, you are not allowed to play games within the battlefield out of respect for those who fought and died on this battlefield. There are monuments all over the park which are really interesting to check out.
Great place to enjoy American History. Even if you go only to ride bike or walk you are in for a treat. Beautiful wooded and peaceful area.
This National Park is a great place to learn about a Revolutionary War battle that helped facilitate the conclusion of the war.
Please watch my YouTube channel (Classroom Digital Tools) for an upcoming Travelogue regarding this important battlefield.
This park has lots of great trails and some really nice monuments. The staff at the visitors center were so friendly and helpful. This is a great place to bring kids as well!
Fun park not super great. The trails there are nice but not marked well and that can be confusing.
Cool place to visit in Greensboro. It is a nice green space in midst of an urban setting. I like to walk my dog here. It seems to be a popular place with a lot of people running, riding bikes, etc. However, I have a few minor complaints about the place. First, there are almost no maps of the layout. I feel like you could easily get lost if you go down a path haha. Second, there are not as many trash cans as there should be. I hate having to walk around for a long time with a bag of dog poo in my hand. I think they could use a few more. Third, I do not think there are any drinking fountains (unless I am missing them? Maybe some by the bathroom?) Other than that, I think the park is well maintained.
Great park with lots of walking trails throughout. A lot of great historical interpretation signs and plenty of statues!
Beautiful and peaceful where lots of birds and animals live freely in their natural habitat. I bring my grandchildren and they learn about the history of the United States and the soldiers who fought and gave their lives for the freedom we all enjoy.
I walk my dog daily thru the wooded trails and meet many other folks doing the same thing. One of the best parks I have been to!
Had a great time. Two of the park rangers have been there for an extended period of time and were a wealth of information about this very pivotal battle in the American Revolutionary War. I definitely recommend doing a battlefield walk. If you're in the military, it's a great destination for a staff ride.
