Dix Park (sometimes referred to as Dorothea Dix Park) is a large urban park in Raleigh, North Carolina, located about a mile southwest of downtown Raleigh. It covers 308 acres (1.25 km2) that were formerly part of the Dorothea Dix Hospital grounds, including a 2.5 acre grass dog park and a 5 acre sunflower field that blooms in July. In 2025, USA Today readers ranked it as the tenth best city park in the United States. It is located near just south of the historic Boylan Heights neighborhood and east of the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University, and is located between the Rocky Branch creek (to the north) and the Walnut Creek (to the south).
