History of Pullen Park: Richard Stanhope Pullen founded History Pullen Park on March 22, 1887. Once farmland, Mr. Pullen donated the land as a gift to the City of Raleigh to be used as parkland. He characterized it as on old cow pasture, red and rocky. He intended this land to be used for the recreation use and pleasure of the inhabitants and the visitors to the City of Raleigh. Through his visions, Pullen Park became the first public park in North Carolina.


Situated on 66.33 acres between Western Blvd., Hillsborough St., Ashe Av. and North Carolina State University, Pullen Park has much to offer people of all ages.
