Raleigh Parks Know Before You Go
Aquatics Program
Raleigh Parks will make the following modification to operations at Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center:
- Effective May 8, 2021, reservations will no longer be needed for recreation swim. We will welcome all swimmers on a first-come, first-serve basis as capacity limits allow. If the facility has reached capacity when you arrive, a waiting list will be available. City of Raleigh aquatics staff will still require wellness screenings for everyone entering the facility. Regular cleanings will occur throughout the day, and masks must be worn by all individuals while not in the water. Learn more about Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center
Youth Programs

Active Adults Program
- Limited programs have resumed. Browse current active adult programs.
- All Active Adults overnight and day trips are postponed until further notice.
- Golden Years clubs should follow the Governor’s gathering guidelines.
