July is Parks & Recreation Month in Raleigh!The Parks & Rec Department compiled this extensive list of ways to enjoy and explore Raleigh's parks throughout the month of July. Click the image to download a copy.
It is no surprise that our Parks & Rec Department was nominated for a Gold Medal Award from the National Recreation & Parks Association. Raleigh Parks & Rec is 1 of 4 national finalists for cities with over 250,000 people. We owe this recognition to our excellent staff, quality facilities, diversity of programs for all ages, natural and green spaces as well as consistent City funding.
Goodnight Raleigh did an excellent job of highlighting some of the great parks, buildings, and recreational resources available in Raleigh. Their unique approach to capturing the city by night is really spectacular!
