Parks & Recreation

Fuquay-Varina is the perfect place to soak up the North Carolina sunshine, with more than 500 acres of parkland to explore throughout the town. Here, you can practically find a park at every corner, especially when you're driving along N. Main Street. Holding the title as one of the oldest parks in town, Falcon Park is still as popular as ever, partially due to its spacious picnic venue. Care to take a stroll down memory lane? Ashworth Park doubles as a playground and historic site, with a suite of old-timey structures for visitors to admire.


Eat & drink  

Do tap beer and American fare sound like your ideal duo? Luckily, the Mason Jar Tavern serves up both, with the added perks of patio seating and plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sports team. And if you're looking for another casual hangout spot to hit up after dinner, Fainting Goat Brewing Company is right down the street. Here, you can venture out with seasonal selections of craft beer and bring your pups along for the fun on the brewery's dog-friendly patios. 




​​​​​​​Events & festivals 

There's nothing better than coming together with your neighbors to celebrate the surrounding community—and although we may be biased, we believe there's no better community to celebrate than Fuquay-Varina. In fact, Celebrate Fuquay-Varina is an annual event that's dedicated to doing just that! This hyper-local festival draws in crowds of more than 8,000 people to partake in all the best parts of this personality-packed town. The Follow Me to Fuquay-Varina Concert Series, Haunted Trail, and Tree Lighting at the end of the year are just a few more must-visit community events. 


Schools & colleges  

Fuquay-Varina homeowners benefit from growing property values thanks to top-notch public schools nearby. The town's younger residents are served by the Wake County Public Schools System, which is the largest school system in North Carolina. Fuquay-Varina itself has seven elementary schools, one middle school, two high schools, and one public charter school throughout the community. Many local high school graduates go on to attend Wake Technical Community College, which is merely a stone's throw away from the heart of Fuquay-Varina.
