At 308-acres, the creation of Dix Park is a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to create an amazing public space in the heart of Raleigh.
Once complete, Dix Park will feature amazing play areas for the young
and young at heart, places to unwind, relax and rejuvenate in nature,
trails to run, walk and bike, areas to splash in water, spots for our
four-legged friends to run and play, and so much more. But creating a
park like this doesn’t happen overnight. It will take careful planning,
dedicated supporters (like you) and great partners to turn the already
beautiful Dix Park campus into the park of our future.
