Located in an oxbow of the Neuse River in northeast Raleigh, Horseshoe Farm Park is a unique jewel in the Raleigh Parks & Recreation system. It consists of open upland fields as well as bottom land hardwood forests, wetlands and a system of natural river levees that have been designated a Significant Natural Heritage Area by the state. Wake Audubon works cooperatively with Raleigh Parks through an Adopt-a-Park agreement to provide and maintain birdhouses for Purple Martins, Bluebirds and Prothonotary Warblers with owl boxes planned for the future. Although rarely seen, Wild Turkey, fox and deer also call the park home and might be discovered on an early morning or late afternoon visit.

Design work to develop Horseshoe Farm Park into a natural resource based park for education and passive recreation is underway. A Wildlife Habitat Zone Advisory Team has provided design, planning, and management recommendations for wildlife habitat to be used in the park planning process.
