Upcoming Engagement Opportunities
Join Raleigh Parks for two upcoming opportunities to help shape River Cane Wetland Park!
Public Art & Invasive Plant Removal Event
Thursday, Feb. 27, noon - 4 p.m.
River Cane Wetland Park (4700 Kyle Drive)
This hands-on event combines environmental stewardship with public art! Volunteers will help remove invasive plants from the park site while learning about habitat restoration from Raleigh Parks staff. Public artist Austen Camille will lead a creative workshop exploring the theme of "home" in nature through poetry. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute their words to a future public artwork at the park. Register for the River Cane Wetland Park Invasive Plant Removal & Art Event.
Family-Friendly Public Workshop
Monday, March 3, 4 - 6 p.m.
Marsh Creek Community Center (3050 N New Hope Rd.)
At this interactive workshop, the community will review a more finished design of the park and provide feedback on specific details, such as playground equipment selection. This phase, called schematic design, means the design is about 30% complete. Attendees will also have the chance to meet and share ideas with the park’s public artist. Light refreshments will be provided. Accommodations and translation services are available upon request.
