About The Playground Area
Fourth of July Park is a Kernersville city park with an accessible playground, picnic shelter, restrooms, grills, sports courts, and more. This 17-acre park is steeped in Kernersville’s history. The park is named after the Fourth of July Committee, an equestrian group that historically held events at this location each Independence Day.
Fourth of July Park hosts many of the town’s biggest events including the Honeybee Festival, numerous 5K and fun run events, and of course our annual Fourth of July fireworks show. In early 2018 the Parks & Recreation Department identified a need for an accessible play unit and amenities within the Forsyth County. The new playground is wheelchair accessible, offers a new swing option, new surfacing at the play unit, repaved walkway and play elements throughout the trail system. Come to enjoy Forsyth County’s first accessible playground!

- Three different levels all accessible by ramps
- Recycled rubber floor that makes it easy to grip and keep shoes clean
