Open Houses and Public Hearings

Join Raleigh Parks for a family-friendly public workshop on the River Cane Wetland Park! Share your ideas with the park’s public artist and enjoy light refreshments. At this time, the community will be able to review a more finished design of the park and provide feedback on details like playground equipment selection. This phase is called schematic design, which means the design will be roughly 30% finalized. Accommodations and translation services are available upon request.
