Went here with the family for the Halloween trick or treat trail. We try to make it out there every year. My most favorite part is the nature center because of all the beautiful birds they have on display. Most are rescues and can not be released back into the wild for any number or reasons, so instead, they are taken out and shown to children for educational purposes (which is amazing)

They also had Turtles, Snakes, Spiders, Fossels, and many more awesome things to check out.

Look on white deer parks website and it will tell you when they are having other events/showings

It's definitely worth checking out 🦌

We have been coming to this park for years. It has great walking trails, a visitors center that offers fun activities and educational opportunities throughout the year, picnic tables, an open field, and a pretty cool playground. We were a little bummed when they got rid of the wooden nature playground but understandable that it was becoming a hazard. The really big slide down the hill is still there though and that was probably the best part of that playground anyways! Overall a great place to take your family and have a nice day out.

Great family friendly park!
It has both shaded and sunny trails for walking. Ample parking and a shaded playground area for the kiddos.

They have bathroom facilities and building/pavilions for gatherings to rent or first come first serve.

The community also holds events for kids so check their website or information board for monthly details.

Nice place for a walk or run. Few shelters for group party next to kids playground. Connects lake benson and south garner greenway trail to make it a 2.2 mile loop with lake benson or 3.2 mile walk including south garner parkway that connects to timber drive. South garner parkway is a mile long but fully shaded to walk on a sunny day. Lot of parking spaces to park.

As a person who loves parks, this is a perfect place. When I was just a mere toddler, my mom would take me to this park and I always enjoyed my time there even up until now. Once you arrive, there is an option to go either left or right. If you go left, you will go to the well what I would say the more nature orientated place. If you go right, you will find a park with a nice playground and a place where many people hold birthday parties. I hiked around and I found a small stream/creak type place. If you go to the right side of the park, walk down the trail and go into the forest when you see a trail leading to it, keep going and where there is two more paths, go to the left a little bit and look at the woods and you will see a hidden path with no concrete path nearby. Cool place and it's my favorite hidden gem about this park. This is a park I think anyone can enjoy!
