On the Eighth Day of Raleigh Parks Christmas we visited Mordecai Mini Park in the Mordecai neighborhood. I absolutely love this neighborhood with the architecture of the homes, great walkability, and proximity to Seaboard Station, but I digress!
Mordecai Mini Park is located at 1122 N. Blount St just west of Person St and close to Peace College. Parking is only available on the street and sidewalks are available for walking from the nearby neighborhoods.
Some of the best features of this park are that it’s completely fenced in with gated entrances and kids of all ages can play at this park. The tot playground area has tot swings, sidewalk games, benches, and several climbing structures. Just up the hill from the tot area is the older kid playground area with more swings and a large jungle gym with slides and climbing structures.
Scattered throughout the park are large bird houses and benches. A nice feature to this park is the deck with picnic tables in between the different playground areas. It allows parents to keep an eye on their kids regardless of where they are inside the park. In talking with a mom at the park today, she mentioned this is a very popular park after work in the warmer months. At any given day you’re bound to find it full with neighborhood kids and their parents.
Thumbs up: neighborhood park, fenced-in area, walkability, multiple age playgrounds
Thumbs down: nothing to report
