Thank you to our Hostess
On March 19, 2025 I decided to take a 10 minute ride from home to
It has been a while since I was there. Lots of things fun changes and information.
Click here to read about the Park
I featured it as a Final Friday Feature
in October 2022.
Below is a bit of info on the park.
Donated to Raleigh by the Wooten Family
Year 1996 | Acres 20.5
Toss a Frisbee, picnic in the lawn, watch the wildlife, and enjoy the day in the park. This 21-acre site was donated by the Wooten family in 1996 for the use of the citizens of Raleigh as a park and future greenway connection. The first phase of the 2015 Wooten Meadow Master Plan was completed in early 2022.
Set along Hare Snipe Creek*, Wooten Meadow Park has looping paved and grassy pathways, open lawn areas, natural meadows, and wetlands and is a habitat for a variety of plant and animal species. Further back in the park is a successional forest of **loblolly pines and hardwood trees.

The trail begins at the corner where you see stoplights
Several fun and symmetrical bridges just to the left of this one
is one of many small creeks. I heard croaking frogs here never saw any

There are at least 8 Eastern Bluebird houses like this
I was quite happy to see a lucky Ducky Mallard in residence.
Ducky is a good Diver. I enjoyed the show.
After his diving show, he swam away look at his gorgeous green head.
The day before I visited we had 2 1/2" of rain. I was happy to see many
little winding water areas like this.
