If getting out and enjoying the clean, fresh southern air is on your list of things-to-do when you're in Raleigh, a visit to Pullen Park will provide you with a wide variety of ways to enjoy the inviting climate and beautiful scenery.

Instead of just relaxing by a lake, why not relax in it! That's precisely what you can do at Lake Wheeler Park. Sure, there are spacious areas for picnicking and outdoor recreation, but you can also go fishing, canoeing, sailing and kayaking. If you need help, find it at the Waterfront Program Center.

The Burning Coal Theatre Company isn't your usual thespian experience. The actors are not only prepared with their cues and their lines, but they also are quite well-versed in improvisation and playing off of whatever kind of audience for which they are performing. So, for an intimate yet interactive theater experience that you won't ever forget, light a fire to the Burning Coal Theatre!
