2025 has been a transformative year for Dix Park 💚
We welcomed 1.7 million visitors, celebrated major milestones, and saw our park continue to grow as a place for connection and community.
Thank you for helping us make Dix Park a park for everyone.

Have you seen the holiday tree in Gipson Pay Plaza? This Fraser fir grew in Western North Carolina. Did you know that North Carolina is the #2 grower of holiday trees in the US?
Join us tonight for the Festive Fridays Reindeer Ride and enjoy the tree for yourself! 🎄

One of our favorite parts of Dix Park in fall is the ginkgo tree on Hunt Drive! It hasn't found its color quite yet this season, but we'll be keeping an eye out each week for those golden leaves! 🌳💛

🚧 We know you're excited for the grand opening of Gipson Play Plaza but please remember, it is not yet open to the public. We're working hard to add final touches so it's still an active construction zone! For your safety, please wait until this Friday, June 6 to come visit! 🚧
