1. Reedy Creek Greenway: Meredith College / I440 bridge – Stop at this sign and take a minute to learn about our Indigenous Predecessors on this land
2. Reedy Creek Greenway: Museum of Art – At the intersection of the Reedy Creek Greenway and the Blue Loop of NCMA there is a wooded path that ventures off that will lead you to the Cloud Chamber, one of the most talked about pieces in the Museum Park, that’s where this critter will be.
3. House Creek Greenway: Marshall Memorial Park is a great place to listen to the creek, look for a real critter and if not, the QR code at the gazebo.
4. Crabtree Creek West: There are not one but 2 birds painted along this section of the Greenway; the huge heron was added to a sewer up earlier this year by @Brutalbohemian, check it out!
24. Crabtree Creek Greenway: Lassiter Mill Park is right along, but just off Greenway the sidewalk near Root Elementary. Look at the falls, and turn around, I have four paws and guard my ground.
6. Mine Creek/Shelley Lake loop – Another spectacular heron, on a “sewer up” painted by Sam Greene
7. Crabtree Creek Greenway: North Hills Park -Past the Pickleball, down the hill (or up depending on your direction), waiting nice and still!

9. Crabtree Creek Greenway: The Swamp is one of our favorite places to spot real turtles, herons and frogs and other wildlife. Stop for a minute at the gazebo and see what critters you can spot! Don’t forget all the delicious food amenities near by at Gateway Plaza.
10. Crabtree Creek Greenway: Lockwood Park has slides, climbing and some rocking animals. Getting here from the Swamp is a great walk with a stroller or a kid on a bike! This critter is hanging by the creek!
11. Neuse River Trail+ Crabtree Creek Greenway: Anderson Point is where Crabtree Creek merges with the Neuse River. It has a playground, shelters, the all important bathrooms, and water fountains. Our pink and yellow bunny is sitting in the shade off of the Neuse trail, enjoying the view of the playgrounds. Come hop around with her!
12. Walnut Creek Greenway: The newest art on a “sewer up” has just been painted along Walnut Creek Greenway. Find these Cardinals about 1.5 miles from the Neuse River Trail
13. Walnut Creek Greenway: The Walnut Creek Greenway is adjacent to Worthdale Community Center and Park. Our turtle is soaking up some sun and greenway views on the 'sewer up' at the hill overlooking the community center along Walnut Creek.
14. Walnut Creek Greenway: The Walnut Creek Wetlands Center is a treasure trove of real life and art critters. You might find a salamander sketched in the concrete, but our QR code is next to the Heron across the street where Little Rock Creek Greenway meets Peterson St.
23. Little Rock Creek Greenway: Chavis Park is just off, but adjacent to the LRC Greenway. There is so much history in this park, plus a Carousel, a Splash Pad and a playground! This critter is hanging out near the beautiful bridge.
16. Rocky Branch Greenway: Frog is missing for the moment. Please check back.
17. Rocky Branch Greenway: Pullen Park is a Diamond in our string of park pearls! Every kid loves to ride the train, or boats or carousel at Pullen. You might have seen the cool wood carvings near the Ticket Office, but have you wandered up the hill near picnic shelters and found the Giraffe, Lion and Pig….The critters are carved in an old tree, and there is a QR code there.
18. Walnut Creek Greenway: Lake Raleigh is adjacent to Centennial Campus and you will find a frog hanging out west of the boat launches.
19. Neuse River Trail: Buffaloe Road Park. Around the back of the park, paths converge from the ball fields and aquatic center toward the Neuse River Trail. Cross a bridge and you’ll see a decorative compass on the ground. One of our poison dart frogs (don’t worry, they’re not actually poisonous!) ventured south but was too scared to cross the next long bridge.
20. Neuse River Trail: Falls of Neuse Canoe Launch. Our biggest frog, Fred, is famous for his scavenger hunt high jinks. He hopped upstream from the canoe launch and perched himself on a tree stump to keep a watchful eye over the trail. If you stick around till dusk, you’ll likely see many of his froggy friends hopping around nearby. Just watch your step!
21. Neuse River Trail: WRAL Soccer Center. This is a great spot to walk the trail while waiting for kids at soccer practice or take a bike ride. One of our poison dart frogs (don’t worry, they’re not actually poisonous!) followed the river upstream about half a mile and found a cozy spot just off the riverbed.
22. Abbotts Creek Greenway Trail: Rabbits like to hop along the greenway too. You’ll find this critter nibbling on some grass near a mile marker.
