===Knightdale Station Park===
Knightdale Station Park, adjacent to a large housing development also named Knightdale Station, occupies a large tract of land on the east side of town, across First Avenue from many of the older businesses in the original central business district of Knightdale.  The park was opened in three phases, in 2013, 2014, and 2018 and currently features walking trails, a dog park, a large playground, a [[splash pad]], several [[soccer]] fields, a covered exhibition area, an [[amphitheater]] for performances, a nine-hole disc golf course, and several large open fields and forested areas.<ref>{{cite web|title=Knightdale Station|url=http://www.knightdalenc.gov/index.aspx?page=562|publisher=Town of Knightdale|access-date=July 11, 2013}}</ref>
