The HUGE Dix Park is within walking distance to our home. Already a destination, rolling hills and events abound. Soon-to-be Raleigh's "Central Park" as they design it to be a major green space in the city. Great for a peaceful walk, bike or run - throughout the spring and summer there are events and things to see, such as the 30-acre sunflower fields they did last summer!
