My boy loves coming to Tuckers. We started bringing him after his sissy passed so he would have someone to play with. He has finally learned to not sit at my side scared of the play and gets right in the middle. He starts crying when we get off the exit because he knows whrre we are going.

Bailey Park is one of my favorite spots in Winston-Salem! It’s always lively but still relaxing, perfect for meeting friends, enjoying a picnic, or just soaking up the sunshine. Love that it’s surrounded by great restaurants, bars, and coffee shops too.

Went here this morning and it was great. The green belt is awesome for walking, the park is well kept, and the picnic area is perfect for hanging out. Really nice spot to relax or get some fresh air. Definitely a hidden gem in the area.
