Lacrosse
The City of Raleigh considers the health and well-being of our participants and staff to be of the utmost importance. Therefore, we have made the difficult decision to cancel lacrosse leagues this spring. Thank you for continuing to support Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department athletics. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach us at athletics@raleighnc.gov. We appreciate your continued patience and we hope to see you on the field again soon.
