One of the newest city parks in North Carolina is a real show-stopper – on many levels. Located only a few miles outside a busy downtown Winston-Salem, Quarry Park feels like it’s a million miles from everywhere, but it’s not. Take a look:

The park is built around an old quarry that was in operation from the mid-1920s until the early 1970s. After the quarry shut down, the deep gully created by rock mining filled with water.

Quarry Park, with an entrance sign appropriately made of rock, takes its name from the old quarry, now the focal point for this stunning outdoor recreational resource.

The park also features a distinctive overlook pier with restroom facilities inside its base.
