The boys and I have done a little exploring during our first few weeks at home together. This week, we ventured over to the North Wake Landfill District Park. Yes, I said Landfill Park.
I’d seen it listed online so when we drove by the sign last week I decided we should check it out. Once you get past the fact that you’re technically in a landfill (I will tell you that I didn’t let Lucas eat the mulch here), it’s really a great park! The boys and I went on Wednesday, and we had so much fun we decided to take daddy back on Saturday.

Lucas’ favorite part is the bells. He likes to play them loud, and to no surprise Isaac likes to help!
Today we noticed a sign that led to the top of the landfill hill that said “overlook trail”. We decided to check it out and made the hike to the top of Mt. Trash. It was a nice walk and the view from the top was amazing!
Smoke free parks…my favorite!! Don’t mind the fact that you’re walking on who knows how many years of trash, just stay on the trail folks!
This just shows the first hill. You round the curve and keep going. Isaac walked the whole way up and back!
You could see downtown Raleigh from the top.
Isaac brought his “binoculars” so he could see extra far…
Yes, it’s a bit strange, a park in a landfill. But what a great use of space. Beautiful, peaceful, and a fun place to play…all on top of a heap of trash!!
So far we’ve managed to find play space in a cemetery and now in a landfill. Who knows what the weeks to come will bring!!
