A listing of all the trails and greenways I’ve explored in the Greater Raleigh area:
- Umstead Park – S & N Turkey Creek TrailCraving some exercise and needing to leave the house for a Sunday morning showing (yes, cute house for sale), we headed to Umstead Park a few weekends ago to check out S & N Turkey Creek Trails. We figured we’d park at our regular spot in the median off Reedy Creek Road, but came to ...
- Historic Yates Mill County ParkThis post originally appeared on Southwestraleigh.com where you can learn more about how to live, work, and play in the Creative District. Even though the Historic Yates Mill County Park has only been open for less than six years, Yates Mill dates back to the early 1800’s and is the only gristmill still standing in Wake ...
- Windemere Beaver Dam ParkI have had the privilege to visit several parks with my daughter and granddaughter as they have been working on their blog for the past 8 months! With the holidays, I asked if I, her sister Ginni, and Ginni’s husband, Blair, could take the baby to a nearby park for the Twelfth Day of Raleigh Parks ...
- Under Construction: House Creek GreenwayOver the last few months I’ve noticed the new paved trail near Ridgewood Shopping Center and then the new pedestrian tunnels take shape along the beltline. All of this has led me to ask, “What is going on?” So, on the third day of Raleigh Parks visits, we did some exploratory research into the pedestrian ...
- Kiwanis Park & Crabtree Creek TrailA few weeks ago we headed down to Lassiter Mill Park again to access the nearby greenway via Crabtree Creek Trail for a run. Little did we know that after a mile and half into our run, we would come to Kiwanis Park. It was a nice surprise and a good break from the run, ...
- Kaplan Drive ParkThis post originally appeared on southwestraleigh.com, where you can learn more about what a great place South West Raleigh is to live, work, and play. There is a small neighborhood park nestled between I-440, Kaplan Drive, and a residential area where parking is only available on the street. The tall trees try to muffle the noisy ...
- Lake RaleighThis post originally appeared on southwestraleigh.com, where you can learn more about what a great place South West Raleigh is to live, work, and play. The last time I was at Lake Raleigh (unknowingly) was during last year’s Polar Plunge 5k race with the Raleigh Jaycees. The race started near the lake, meandered through Centennial Campus, ...
- Lake Johnson ParkPicturesque. Serene. Beloved. All words to describe my recent visits to Lake Johnson Park. Lake Johnson Park is located in the heart of southwest Raleigh at 4601 Avent Ferry Rd. Its popularity is evident with the many parking lots scattered throughout the park. On two of the mornings I visited, I had to loop around the ...
- Umstead Park – Reedy Creek & Reedy Creek Lake TrailsTwo weekends ago we made a short drive to the Umstead Park entrance near the intersection of Reedy Creek Rd and Trenton Rd to try our new BOB stroller. We parked in the grassy median between the paved greenway trail and Reedy Creek Rd since there isn’t an actual parking lot. Be careful to abide ...
- Weekend AgendaSo, BOB arrived this week! He’s navy blue and black with hints of gray, very sturdy and reliable, and was a complete surprise! BOB is not another BT rescue (2 is plenty) or a weekend guest; he’s my new jogging stroller! Everyone I’ve talked to who runs with their baby and young kids swears by ...
- Morrisville Community ParkAfter a rained-out start to our shift on Monday night, Tuesday proved to be plenty hot and sunny! Tuesday night we headed to Morrisville Community Park at 1520 Morrisville Parkway where the 10u girls age group was playing. This park is run by the Town of Morrisville Parks System and it did not disappoint! The softball ...
- North Hills ParkNorth Hills park is located at 100 Chowan Circle in North Raleigh. Overall this is a basic neighborhood park with B+ features. As you arrive there is a medium-sized parking lot with a nice lighted baseball field on the right. It has bleacher seating for the spectators and a water fountain near the far team’s ...
