The growing city in central North Carolina has recently become a hub for young professionals. With its ideal location, not far from lakes, rivers, ocean, and mountains, and the airport that can get you almost anywhere in the country, this city is perfectly livable. The downtown constantly has construction undergoing but do not be fooled, the parks that we have highlighted below are outstanding choices for an outdoor event.
