Art classes are great. Lovely lake with nice paths. I used to take my kids here to play before they grew up, they loved it.
This is a very good Art Center. Since I can remember they’ve been offering paid Art classes/courses throughout the year. Location is very convenient in the Shelley Lake Park grounds and it serves a large Raleigh area community.
Actually I was here to hike the trail around lake Shelley at the Arts Center. A beautiful hike around the lake. Paved walkway, minimal hills.

Where creativity meets community in the heart of Shelley Lake Park.
