Kids Together Playground 26th Anniversary Celebration

Escape the urban bustle and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of William B. Umstead State Park. We invite individuals and families to participate in the Curious Minds Trail Adventure, a unique scavenger hunt experience set along the scenic Piedmont East Science Trail. As you traverse the beautiful hiking paths and explore the serene manmade lakes of this Wake County treasure, you will have the chance to observe local wildlife and vibrant plant species in their natural habitat. This engaging activity is designed to spark curiosity and appreciation for the outdoors. To participate in this digital exploration, simply download the Actionbound app on your mobile device. There is no need to create a profile or provide personal data, making it a secure and convenient way to enjoy the park. Once the app is installed, scan the designated QR code or search for the park name to begin your journey. This self-guided adventure is available daily from 8 AM to 8 PM through April 30, 2026. Join us today to uncover the hidden secrets of Umstead State Park.

Experience the magic of literature combined with the beauty of nature throughout the entire month of April. Wake County Parks invites families and book lovers to participate in our engaging StoryWalks program across several picturesque locations. This unique initiative allows you to read featured children books displayed along walking trails, providing an educational and active outdoor experience for visitors of all ages. From the American Tobacco Trail to Yates Mill and beyond, each participating park features a curated story that encourages discovery and movement. Whether you are exploring the trails at Lake Crabtree or taking in the atmosphere at Oak View, these walks offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy fresh air while fostering a love for reading. It is a wonderful way to connect with community spaces and embrace the springtime scenery. We encourage everyone to grab their walking shoes and head out to these various parks to enjoy these stories before they conclude at the end of the month. Please visit our official website to view specific park hours and full locations to plan your family adventure today.

North Hills Kids returns for an exciting spring season in 2026! We invite you and your little ones to join us every Tuesday morning from April 7 through May 12. These sessions run from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at The Commons, our vibrant green turf space conveniently located near Ben and Jerry and Sunglass Hut in Raleigh. This series is specifically designed for preschool aged children to enjoy engaging activities in an open air environment. Each weekly event offers unique themes and creative fun tailored for young toddlers and children.
