Plan The Perfect Spring Family Picnic
Jewel tones and heavy layers make way for pastels, open-toe shoes and fragrant, longer days during spring. The grass needs cutting, gorgeous bushes bloom and allergies to nature’s own brand of confetti — in the form of pollen — kick into overdrive. Yes, spring in North Carolina is magical — so much so that it can inspire some extra-special adventures with your family in the great outdoors.
Nothing says “spring” or “quality time” quite as well as a meal shared in the form of a neatly packed picnic. Or, it could be a disheveled one. The point is to spend this time in nature with loved ones.
The Triangle offers perfectly picturesque picnic locations come spring — whether you’re looking for a piece of outdoor sanctuary at William B. Umstead State Park in Raleigh, Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham or the historic University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill.
Other notable mentions for Raleigh include Pullen Park, JC Raulston Arboretum, the WRAL Azalea Garden and the Raleigh Rose Garden. In Durham, check out the American Tobacco Campus lawn and West Point on the Eno park along the Eno River.
