Millbrook Exchange Park

Navigate to 1905 Spring Forest Road and use the signed City lots within the recreation campus. The park is large and shares its surroundings with Millbrook High School and Fire Station 15, so follow signs for your destination: Community Center, pool, tennis center, dog park, playground, fields, or shelters rather than stopping at the first nearby lot.

Use the main park address at 1905 Spring Forest Road as your starting point. The Community Center is the best staffed orientation point, but the pool, tennis center, dog park, fields, and wooded shelters occupy different parts of the 69.5-acre campus. Confirm the facility name in navigation before arriving.

Yes. Indoor visitor facilities are available at staffed buildings such as the Community Center and pool during their operating hours. The City notes limited restroom access for the two remote wooded shelters, so families using those shelters should handle restroom needs at an open building before walking down the greenway route.

The Community Center is open 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, and 1-6 p.m. Sunday. Outdoor basketball is dawn to dusk, while the dog park is open daily 7 a.m.-10 p.m. The pool, tennis center, programs, and reserved fields follow separate schedules, so check the exact facility before traveling.

General admission, playground use, dog-park use, outdoor basketball, public art, and available casual park use are free. The pool charges standard City admission, and lessons, programs, room rentals, shelter reservations, tennis reservations, and athletic-field reservations may charge. Confirm current pricing when booking.

The Community Center, pool, tennis complex, hard-surface courts, paved parking, and updated rubber-surface playground provide the most predictable developed access. The picnic shelters sit in a more remote wooded area along a paved greenway, and the dog park uses woodchips. Contact the specific facility when an accessible changing area, pool entry, court, or shortest route is essential.

The recently updated playground is designed for ages 2-12 and has rubber surfacing and tot swings. Restrooms are available in the Community Center during building hours. Because the park contains many facilities, follow playground signs from the main lot rather than assuming it is beside the pool or tennis entrance.

Yes. Raleigh's oldest public dog park opened here in 2003 and is free, open daily 7 a.m.-10 p.m., and lighted. It has separate large- and small-dog areas, woodchip surfacing, water fountains for people and dogs, benches, picnic tables, shade, and agility equipment. Dogs must remain supervised and follow posted enclosure rules.

Yes. Millbrook Exchange Pool has a covered 25-yard main pool operating year-round, with depths from about 3 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 6 inches. A shallow outdoor wading pool operates seasonally, generally from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Lap swim, recreation swim, lessons, maintenance closures, and holiday schedules differ, so check the pool page before leaving.

The City currently lists standard admission as $2 for resident children ages 1-12 and $3 for nonresidents; $5 resident and $8 nonresident for ages 13-54; and $4 resident and $6 nonresident for ages 55 and older. Children under one are free. Verify rates and swim-session availability before visiting.

Millbrook Exchange Tennis Center is Raleigh's flagship tennis facility with 23 hard-surface courts. Programs, leagues, lessons, tournaments, and reservations can affect availability, so contact the center or check the City's reservation system rather than assuming an empty-looking court is available for unscheduled play.

Yes. Two concrete outdoor basketball courts are available dawn to dusk and are generally first-come, first-served. Scheduled City activities and maintenance take priority. The Community Center also has an 80-by-100-foot indoor gym, but indoor access depends on programs, open-play schedules, or paid rental.

The park has three lighted fields: a roughly 301-foot softball field, a 285-foot youth baseball field, and a 188-foot youth baseball field. Leagues and approved reservations have priority, and weather can close fields even when the rest of the park remains open. Check City field status before an organized visit.

Yes. Two wooded shelters sit along a paved greenway trail. Each is listed for roughly 40-60 people with four tables, two grills, no electricity, limited restroom access, and a current rate of $15 per hour. Their remote setting is pleasant but requires more walking and planning than a shelter beside the Community Center.

The Anne Gordon Center for Active Adults offers recreation, wellness, educational, and social programming geared primarily toward adults 50 and older, although the City says adults of any age may participate. Program registration, schedules, eligibility details, and possible fees are handled through Raleigh Parks and RecLink.

Yes. The park includes 'Immigrant Gate II,' a public artwork documented by the City of Raleigh. It is one feature within a large recreation campus rather than the park's main entrance marker, so use the City's park map or ask Community Center staff for its exact location during your visit.
