Bear sightings were reported near the Kildaire Farms Racquet and Swim Club on Cary Parkway near Lake Pine Drive.
The homeowner's association in the area sent out a letter to community members urging members to take extra caution when walking on trails and greenways in the area.
"If you do spot a bear, it is recommended not to approach it and slowly back away from the animal. Be aware of your surroundings and be sure everyone in your home is aware of the situation." -Kildaire Farms Board
