Beautiful Town of Knightdale Park located directly within the Knightdale Station community
KNIGHTDALE STATION PARK
The Town of Knightdale plays homage to its storied railroad and agricultural past with the extensive farm and train-themed play area at the park.
Knightdale Station Park is a Town of Knightdale owned park that is situated within our Knightdale Station community. Boasting amenities for all to enjoy, this is much more than just a recreation center that is convenient to residents living in the neighborhood. It represents the forward thinking by the Town of Knightdale that is responsible for the successful development of the entire community and all that it offers residents and visitors alike. Ever since the town had the opportunity to purchase this tract of land in downtown Knightdale, the plans for Knightdale Station Park were set in motion. It’s been “All Aboard” and “Full Speed Ahead” ever since!
The 76-acre municipal park offers two miles of paved running and walking trails, the town’s first dog park, athletic fields, and a railroad-themed playground that has to be seen to be believed. The extensive farm and train-themed play area is a reminder of Knightdale’s railroad and agricultural past. Additionally, a recently completed open-air picnic shelter, splash-pad water park feature, and an outdoor amphitheater have given Knightdale residents even more of something for everyone to enjoy at the popular town park.
There are bathrooms right next to the playground and a large picnic shelter perfect for birthday parties. A vine trellis right next to the playground is designed for stroller parking. And there’s plenty of parking for cars too. The two miles of running and walking trails go through groves of trees and along a boardwalk on a pond.

The Triangle’s preeminent private school system
THALES ACADEMY
“Education is more than the mere accumulation facts.
It is a journey where students come to know and pursue truth.”
The Triangle’s preeminent private school system is opening its first eastern Wake County campus in Knightdale Station. Thales Academy’s sixth Triangle campus, the Knightdale Station K-5 elementary school will open for the 2016 academic year with plans for future expansion. (The site for a future high school has already been identified.)
Thales Academy began in 2007 with 30 students and the goal of providing an affordable world class education. Within two years Thales enrolled 500 students at two permanent locations (Apex and Wake Forest) and opened its Raleigh campus in 2010 followed by Rolesville in 2014. Thales Academy currently serves more than 1100 students in the Triangle.
The academies are named for Thales of Miletus (624 BC–546 BC) who is regarded by many as the Father of the Sciences and of Western Philosophy. Thales Academies follow his example of classical excellence. Students at Thales Academies receive an unparalleled breadth and depth of education, as Founder and Chairman Robert Luddy believes that “Education is more than the mere accumulation facts. It is a journey where students come to know and pursue truth.”
