Project Overview

This is a public-private partnership led by The Conservation Fund and the City of Raleigh, in coordination with the North Carolina Water Resources Research Institute, Partners for Environmental Justice, and the Walnut Creek Wetland Community Partnership. View the Bailey Drive Gateway Project webpage for additional information. This project is funded jointly by Raleigh Parks, The Conservation Fund, Raleigh Department of Transportation, and the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership.

A new park entrance is coming soon! Thanks to $340,000 in funding from The Conservation Fund, Raleigh Parks is moving forward with a southern gateway into Walnut Creek Wetland Park, improving access for nearby neighborhoods by developing a sidewalk connecting Fuller Elementary School and Garner Road.

View the Walnut Creek Wetland Park webpage for information about upcoming programs.
