Roanoke Park

Roanoke Park is a community park located in the Five Points neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina. Situated on Cherokee Drive, this park is nestled in a quiet residential area southeast of the Five Points intersection. The park spans approximately 1.6 acres, providing a green space for local residents and visitors.

The park features a mix of recreational facilities and natural areas. A long wooden boardwalk leads from the picnic shelter to a sitting area adjacent to the playground, offering a unique walking experience through the park. The playground area is equipped with modern play structures suitable for children of various ages, set atop a mulch base for safety.

Roanoke Park also caters to sports enthusiasts with its outdoor basketball court and grass volleyball area. These facilities provide opportunities for casual games and community sports activities. The park includes open grassy areas suitable for picnicking or informal play.

One of the park's distinguishing features is its integration into the historical context of the Five Points area. The surrounding Roanoke Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, encompasses 446 contributing buildings and reflects the architectural styles popular in the early to mid-20th century.

The park is open daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, offering ample time for community members to enjoy its amenities throughout the day.
