Lake Johnson.

there are the rose gardens behind hillsborough


and then the plant place over by where blue ridge hits hillsborough


and several places on the greenway- just look at a map of raleigh (mapquest or google) and look for green blocked off places- chances are its either a park or a golf course

Google Maps. Raleigh. Look for the green blotches.

^ isn't that technically googling it though, i mean you are using google maps

just go to umstead

go to oakwood cemetery. It was designed in 1869 as a public park with grave stones that are supposed to be 'sculptures in a garden.' It was first a cemetery for confederate soldiers. about 1200 are buried there. very beautiful. 7 mins from campus on the northeast shoulder of downtown.

How did nobody mention Dorothea Dix? The park is huge.

I had a picnic last week at the rose gardens. take hillsboro, turn on pogue and go past the raleigh little theater. like 60 seconds from campus.

4/20/2010 3:34:35 PM

Raulston Arboretum
Umstead Park
Lake Johnson
Shenck Forest
Eno River State Park (Durham)
Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve (Cary)

the list goes on and on....

Google is your friend. Don't be a lazy-fuck.

Umstead Park and the Falls Lake Trails take a little time to get to, but they're well worth it as long as you have transportation and a few hours to spare.

"Arboretum"

I used to think this was where you went to get an abortion

4/20/2010 4:02:56 PM

i came in here to post the rose gardens

the arboretum is nice too, but the location kinda sucks. next to the railroad AND the beltline

also lake crabtree is nice

4/20/2010 4:11:37 PM

there is no hustle and bustle around beryl road

well but theres..o nvm.


there is no hustle and bustle on beryl road....raulston is the ish

4/20/2010 4:22:17 PM

You can walk around the Arboretum and definitely feel secluded. You don't feel like you're near the Beltline or the railroad tracks, IMO.

4/20/2010 4:25:36 PM

go get lost in the woods on centennial

or umstead

or walk around lake raleigh or canoe on it

4/20/2010 4:27:09 PM

you forget where you are
