Need a break from the noise and bustle? Visit the Sensory Relaxation Station located next to the Knightdale Parks, Recreation, & Cultural Programs table under the Wilder Plaza Pavilion closest to the restrooms.

The Sensory Relaxation Station is a portable sensory room where light, textures, and interactive equipment are designed to be a calming place that allows those who need it an escape from a sensory-rich environment.

The Relaxation Station is not a play area, and children must be supervised while utilizing the area. Please utilize this space only when necessary to ensure it is available to those who need it.
