“Bring a sturdy stroller for the gravel trails after you finish the exhibit.”
The Paint the Parks Exhibit Last Weekend at Yates Mill Park is a temporary art gallery featuring landscape paintings created by local artists on-site across Wake County's public parks. What to Know: The exhibit is located inside the Finley Center at Historic Yates Mill County Park, which offers free admission and plenty of paved parking. The building is stroller-friendly and has clean restrooms, making it an easy stop with toddlers or school-aged kids. Plan to spend about twenty minutes looking at the art before heading outside to see the historic mill itself. This is a great weekend pick because it combines a quick dose of local culture with an outdoor afternoon. You can view the paintings, grab a map from the park office, and then head out on the easy boardwalk trail to burn off some energy.
