Adventure
 


Feeling the need to be green? Then come out and play this weekend in Raleigh. We’re one of the greenest cities you’ll find, with over 60 miles of trails and greenways, two nature preserves, gardens, 20 public golf courses, six scenic lakes and even an art park. Head outdoors for movies and concerts by moonlight. Hit the road on a Harley. Watch professional baseball, soccer, or even the 2006 NHL Champion Carolina Hurricanes. No matter what you choose to do on your adventure weekend, you’ll find that variety rules in Raleigh.
