Durant Nature Park offers not only a chance to stroll the impressive five miles of trails, but you can also relax outdoors and take in a picnic lunch as well as the beautiful foliage that makes this park such a gem of natural beauty.
More than 700 athletes, 500 coaches and nearly 600 volunteers meet every June for the Special Olympics North Carolina Midsummer Tournament. Add in the large number of family members as well as friends and supporters and you've got an event of epic proportions. These very special kids work so hard all year long for this opportunity to shine in their sport of choice, and the continued support and love from the community is inspiring not only for them, but for their families, teachers, and friends as well.
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.
