About the event
Join us for this free, family event as we honor all things Longleaf Pine! Educational booths from our organizational partners will introduce you to this unique ecosystem and its critters and explain the importance of prescribed fire. Visit with live animals, enjoy Longleaf-themed games and crafts, learn the art of pine needle basket weaving (creations will also be available for purchase), and take a guided wagon tour to our 60-acre Longleaf Pine Restoration Area. Pre-registration is required for the wagon tours due to limited seating (register separately via this online system). Visit the Wake County Libraries Bookmobile, purchase a cool treat from Kona Ice of Western Wake, and take home your very own Longleaf Pine seedling! Extend your fun by bringing a picnic lunch and spending your day at the park. It's free for all ages! This event will take place at the Loblolly Shelter and on the open playfield.
Schedule: Sep 12, 2026 Saturday from 10am to 1pm
