Lake Rogers: Park and Activities on the Water
Lake Rogers Park is located at 1718 Lake Road (NC-56) in Creedmoor and is open daily from sunrise to sunset. At Lake Rogers, there is a renovated fishing pier and four fishing platforms.

Two Trails with Different Lengths
The Cross-City Trail connects Lake Rogers Park in the west with downtown and new residential developments in the east. The greenway is six miles long and runs through Creedmoor; the section in question runs for 3.5 miles along NC 56. The trail is separate and protected, and is ADA-accessible for cyclists and pedestrians.
The Gauntlet Fitness & Walking Trail offers a shorter distance: it is 1.1 miles long and is located at 2186 Brassfield Road in Creedmoor. Fitness stations challenge hikers along the way. The trail is open daily year-round from sunrise to sunset. For choosing based on trail length, the comparison is clear: the Cross-City Trail’s six miles versus the Gauntlet Fitness & Walking Trail’s 1.1 miles.
Playground, Picnic Shelter and Other Facilities
Harris Park has a playground with swings and benches. The picnic shelter can be reserved daily from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; the minimum rental period is two hours. If a reserved shelter is part of your plans, check the specific reservation options in advance.
The Creedmoor Community Center has a full-size gymnasium, an elevated walking track, and various cardio machines. An active individual or household membership is required to use all facilities. The B.C. Roberts Ballfields are located at 112 East Wilton Avenue on NC-56 East in Creedmoor.
