It’s time to share another hidden gem in this series. The town of Wallburg is home to an area that holds not one, not two, but three hidden gems. All within a very short drive or even walk of each other.
While this series is technically for Forsyth County and these gems actually fall in Davidson County, these places are so close to the county line that even Google lists Winston-Salem addresses for them! Most importantly, these are must-visit places and completely embody the term “hidden gems.”
Wallburg Town Park
This park is not only super cute, but it also has some great amenities for all. First off, not only do they have two baby swings and two regular swings, they have two inclusive swings, as well.
There are also two separate playground structures – one for little kids and one for bigger kids. In addition to the swings and playground structures, it also has a spinner.
One great bonus of this park is that it is beautifully maintained with lots of gorgeous flowers and landscaping. It also has a soft playground surface making it easy on those many falls that toddlers inevitably have happen.
Something to note before you go, there is no shade on the playground. However, there are two covered picnic shelters that do provide a place for a shaded break. So, plan accordingly in the August heat.
Location: 8020 NC-109, Winston-Salem
Hours: May – August 6:30 a.m. to sunset & September – April 7:00 a.m. to sunset
Cupcake Cuties Cafe & Bakery
Literally down the road from the town park is a quaint little bakery that sells a variety of sweets. It’s a great place to pick up treats to enjoy at the park’s picnic shelters.
They have an extensive baked goods menu including cupcakes, of course, cake pops and even muffins and cheesecakes. Plus, there are multiple gluten-free and sugar-free desserts and muffins, as well. In addition to their baked goods, they have ice cream and coffee for sale.
If you don’t want to enjoy your treats at the park, they have an adorable setup for patrons to sit with their desserts and beverages.

Magnolia Mobile Boutique & The Posh Bee Children’s Boutique
Right beside Cupcake Cuties is Magnolia Mobile Boutique, which is home to so many beautiful outfits and accessories. Plus, inside on the back corner, you’ll find The Posh Bee Boutique which has some of the most adorable children’s clothes.
This is a great stop to visit among your sugar fix and nature time. Even if you don’t want to buy anything, it takes “window shopping” to a whole new fun level!
