Creative Education Monolith at Walnut Creek Park

Located directly across from the Walnut Creek Wetland Park, on the north side entrance to the greenway along Peterson Street., people can find the City of Raleigh's latest mixture of green stormwater infrastructure and public art. The "Healing Continuum" monolith educates viewers about the restorative gravel wetland at Walnut Creek Park.  The monolith offers residents an opportunity to learn about green stormwater infrastructure and enjoy a contemplative moment sitting on the circle of boulders surrounding the monolith.

Walnut Creek Gravel Wetland

Raleigh Stormwater installed a gravel wetland at Walnut Creek Wetland Park. The wetland includes:

• An underground gravel reservoir that will hold and filter stormwater runoff;
• Plant roots that will soak up and clean the water; and, 
• Slowing down the flow of stormwater before it reaches Walnut Creek.
