Review:
Located on Raleigh's iconic Hillsborough Street next to the main campus of North Carolina State University, Pullen Park is a 66.3-acre public park in downtown Raleigh and the oldest public park in North Carolina. The park has several attractions and activities for the whole family to enjoy, including the 1911 Pullen Park Carousel that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, a miniature train that children can ride around the park, and kiddie boats and pedal boats to have fun on the lake.
A themed playground focuses on art, nature, and history with four age-appropriate sections, and the park is also home to the Pullen Arts Center, the Pullen Aquatic Center, and the Theatre in the Park. The 3,000-mile long system of trails known as the East Coast Greenway that connects Maine to Florida runs through the park.
