We are nearing the end of the master plan process and this is an exciting time to see a draft of the complete vision of the plan come together!
The site plan compiles ideas from the six organizing themes at the focus of community meetings and discussions throughout the past year: Region, Transportation, Site, Buildings, Partners, and Program.
Input we have received thus far has helped craft this vision and we need your continued feedback and support to ensure this is a park for everyone, built by everyone!
Please share your comments on The Site Plan as a whole, and the six intrinsic landscapes linked below: The Creek, The Downtown Gateway, The Grove, The Meadow, The Valley, and The Ridge.
The Master Plan Executive Committee works closely with the design team, steers the planning process at key inflection points, and will ultimately recommend a completed Master Plan to the Raleigh City Council for their review, discussion, and approval.
Time: 8:30 am - 11:30 am

Getting to Dix Park
There are multiple entrances to Dorothea Dix Park. The most widely used entrances are Hunt Drive at Western Boulevard, South Boylan Avenue at Western Boulevard, Umstead Drive at Lake Wheeler Road, and Goode Street at Lake Wheeler Road. Because this is an active staff campus for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for the next few years, parking at Dorothea Dix Park is limited during business hours. On weekends, visitors may park in any of the parking areas striped green.
