A tranquil refuge rescued from a forgotten space. Between the freeway and some apartments, this thoughtfully designed pocket park includes winding paths with stone and wooden segments, and a creek view framed by a gazebo. Beauty amid the bustle.
Cute little park type area with a couple small trails.
GPS couldn’t help us find anywhere to park, so we ended up parking behind the McDonald’s a little ways away, and then taking another trail over to it.
Hard to find, but nice once you do.
I love this park, is very quiet and green.
While I didn’t go all the way in it looks like a nice park from the outside.
Marshall Memorial Park is located a short distance into the House Creek Greenway near the Blue Ridge Road entrance. There is no parking there other than an office park where you will probably be towed.
The park was a gift to the city of Raleigh from George F. “Rick” Marshall in honor of his father, Lieutenant Colonel George F. Marshall, a decorated veteran of World War II. There is a monument and pergola about a third of a mile from the entrance. It details the military history of Marshall. There is a granite path that leads through the pergola to a wooden walkway where there are benches that overlook House Creek.
I found it quiet and peaceful and a wonderful tribute.
