Lake Lynn Park consists of 63 undeveloped acres at the head waters of Lake Lynn on Ray Road in Northwest Raleigh.  In the 1980’s, the City’s tremendous population growth initiated a search for appropriate park land. The Lake Lynn site was chosen for its location, accessibility, topography, vegetation, proximity to existing utilities and the proposed greenway system.
