Welcome to the Neuse River Regional Park

Raleigh North Carolina, USA

The objective of this park is to preserve the environment and provide recreation along the Neuse river corridor as it runs through Raleigh. This will be done by protecting the flood plain and wetlands, and creating a string of parks connected by a greenway and surrounded by a parkway.
