The Final Community Meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. This will not be your typical community meeting, it will be a celebration of the 18+ month master planning process that has engaged over 65,000 people throughout the city culminating in a grand vision for the future of Dorothea Dix Park.

At 6:30, Kate Pearce, Dorothea Dix Park Project Manager with the City of Raleigh, will “step inside” the Master Plan to share what our community has envisioned for Raleigh’s great iconic park. Attendees will learn about what the plan includes as well as what to expect in the first phase of work. Throughout the rest of the event, community members will be able to explore the Master Plan through visual displays and park elements that bring the outside in, highlighting the various landscapes and program themes in the plan.
