Jaycee Park

Route to 2405 Wade Avenue and use the marked park lots. The dog run sits just south of the Wade Avenue parking area near the playground and tennis courts, with parking on both sides. For a field, indoor program, or rental, confirm the assigned arrival area because the campus contains several separate activity zones.

Use 2405 Wade Avenue for the community center and main recreation campus. The Wade Avenue lot also provides the documented accessible sidewalk to the dog run, playground, and tennis area. Organized field use, leagues, and rentals may direct participants to a particular side, so follow the reservation confirmation.

Yes. The City lists a restroom in the park for playground users, and the shelter has nearby restrooms. Community-center restrooms and locker rooms are available only during building access and programs. Outdoor or indoor facilities can close for maintenance, winterization, holidays, or rentals, so call 919-996-6833 when access is essential.

Outdoor park amenities are generally open dawn to dusk unless otherwise posted. The community center is open Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-3 p.m., and Sunday 1-6 p.m. Lighted tennis and league facilities can operate later under their own schedules without extending every park service.

General entry, playground use, the daylily garden, dog run, and first-come outdoor courts are free. The shelter is listed at $15 per hour, the weight room at $15 per month, and indoor rooms, gym, fields, classes, and organized programs charge separately. Applications, deposits, and nonresident surcharges may apply.

The City documents an accessible sidewalk from Wade Avenue parking to the dog run, and the renovated campus uses developed routes among major facilities. The playground includes rubberized areas, while sand areas, fields, and the garden can vary. Contact the center at 919-996-6833 for the exact route or accommodation needed.

The playground has separate areas for ages 2-5 and 5-12, with swings, slides, spring riders, activity panels, climbing panels, tubes, tunnels, and seesaws. It uses rubberized and sand surfaces and has a restroom listed in the park. The dog run and tennis courts are nearby.

Jaycee has a fenced dog run just south of the Wade Avenue parking area, near the playground and tennis courts. An accessible sidewalk connects it to parking, and the run has benches, trash cans, and a waste station. Dogs must remain leashed elsewhere and follow Raleigh's posted dog-park rules inside.

Jaycee has two outdoor tennis courts with push-button lights until 10 p.m. and six lighted sand-volleyball courts. Volleyball courts 1-4 are unavailable Tuesday and Thursday from 6-11 p.m. during league play; courts 5-6 remain first come on those nights. The center also has an indoor gym with two adjustable hoops.

The labeled daylily garden and gazebo are part of the Jaycee campus near the recreation facilities. The Raleigh Hemerocallis Club maintains the daylilies and other plantings. Bloom timing varies with weather and cultivar, so it remains a garden visit outside peak bloom rather than a guaranteed floral display every day.
