View from Dorothea Dix Park of downtown Raleigh.

When we think about how special the Triangle region is to live and work, we thank the amazing visionaries in the past who helped create the vibrant community that we live in today – the Universities, the Research Triangle, RDU Airport, the major museums, theaters, ballparks in the region.   And today, right now, we are creating one of these “once-in-a lifetime”  opportunities that will provide an amazing public amenity for future generations.

In July 2015, the City of Raleigh acquired of 308 acres of the Dorothea Dix Campus.   Currently, Raleigh is planning and developing a new destination park on the property.  According to their mission, “the master plan for Dix Park will encourage bold thinking, promote civic pride and become a new standard for the creation of urban parks.”

Moore Square Park in Downtown Raleigh

As we think about Raleigh’s newest park, we would be remiss if we didn’t shout-out for Raleigh’s oldest park.  As one of the original public spaces set aside when Raleigh was established, Moore Square is a 225-year-old park in the heart of Raleigh.  Ground breaking for the $12.5 million renovation project was on November 9, 2017.

We will continue to visit the shops, museums, restaurants, and city-life surrounding the park and will share in the excitement when Moore Square Park reopens in 2019!
