Downtown Raleigh Alliance – Downtown Raleigh has emerged as a vibrant center of activity that continues to welcome historic growth and investment. As an apex of commerce and government, it is also home to a thriving creative culture with artists, musicians, innovative tech companies, award-winning chefs, and cutting-edge makers working to create the Downtown Raleigh experience.
Lake Johnson – Lake Johnson has a paved greenway and natural surface trails, fishing, public programs (including paddling, sailing, & environmental education), indoor facility & shelter rentals, and a swimming pool.
Pullen Park – Pullen Park is the first public park in North Carolina, the 5th oldest operating amusement park in the U.S., and the 16th oldest in the world.
Umpstead State Park – Located in Wake County 10 miles northwest of downtown Raleigh, William B. Umstead State Park is a cherished retreat from bustling urban life. The park features an extensive network of hiking and multiuse trails, as well as three manmade lakes and their tributaries that are perfect for fishing. Both park entrances offer picnic shelters, and Crabtree Creek offers camping areas. Group camps and the historic Maple Hill Lodge let visitors experience a rustic overnight experience without typical modern camping amenities.
