Climb Inside An Old Helicopter At Yadkin County Park, A Memorial Park In North Carolina Dedicated To Veterans
In 2020, we’ve all learned to adapt to a great deal, including adjusting how – and where – we spend our free time. Fortunately, we live in a state that is brimming with places to gather up the family and enjoy a day out of doors. If you’re in or near Yadkin County, then a visit to the underrated Yadkin County Park will surely put a twinkle in the eyes of the smallest members of the family.
That is because this county park is dedicated to Veterans — and in keeping with that theme, it features some old military equipment.

An old Howitzer tank is also on site! However, climbing on this larger relic is prohibited. Photos, though, are free game, so go for it!
The park also features some walking and jogging trails for everyone to explore the splendors of this beautiful space.
