The Walnut Creek Greenway offers so many beautiful spots along the water and through the woods, yet is unknown to much of Raleigh.  Living Downtown, we’re only five to ten minutes away.  So, the Festival was created to get folks out moving and discovering the natural treasures that are free to us all.

When: Saturday, September 29, 8am-4pm.

Where: Activities will be at four parks along the way.

  1. Walnut Creek Wetland Center
  2. Eliza Pool Park
  3. Lake Johnson Park
  4. Ralph Campbell Center

We see the Festival growing in years to come to stretch all the way from Lake Johnson to the Neuse River.  New this year, the Urban Wetland 5K and Kids 100-Yard Dash will introduce the Greenway to a whole new group of fun-seekers.

The nature scavenger hunt at the Walnut Creek Wetland Center, the bike decorating contest at Eliza Pool Park and bike parade down the Greenway are also new this year.  Live music, food trucks, fitness challenges and prizes add to the mix.
