Parts of Pullen Park in Raleigh to close for renovations

Monday, January 12, 2026
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Parts of Pullen Park will be closed for more than a month as crews begin major improvements at Lake Howell.

The closures affect the playgrounds, picnic shelters, and all associated attractions and amenities.

The Pullen Aquatic Center, Pullen Community Center, and tennis courts will remain open.

The closure will take place from Feb. 2 through March 31 during the first phase of the project.

Work is expected to continue from April to August.



Fish will be removed from Lake Howell and relocated during the renovation. The lake will be restocked once work is completed.

Most areas of Pullen Park amusements will reopen during that time.
