Fallon Park

Fallon Park, just northeast of Five Points, and sloping with its long narrow shape down to Crabtree Creek at Anderson Drive, is a long necklace in Raleigh's park jewels. The remains of a small mill structure lend even more interest to a wonderful rockfall along the creek that defines the park.

The headwaters of Fallon Creek arise in the middle of the very plush neighborhood
along White Oak Road.



Above are rockpools that my kids explored with great joy.

I think this is the Whitaker Mill site. I'll need to check my maps to be certain.
