Have you been out to Clayton River Walk on the Neuse or Sam’s Branch greenways lately? If not, check out the new plant, animal, and aquatic informational signs that were a recent Eagle Scout project. They share tons of interesting information that we hope will lead to more discovery and appreciation for the natural world we share. We have more than 5 miles of trails along the Neuse River and Sam’s Branch Creek and two trailhead parking lots. There is also a one mile trail at East Clayton Community Park and a ½ mile paved trail at Clayton Community Park. Construction will begin soon on a paved trail to connect the Community Center on Amelia Church Road to downtown Clayton. Walk, stroll, or jog your way to better health and enjoy our natural beauty. We have baseball and softball leagues for youth and adults and a variety of special events from the Easter Egg Hunt for toddlers to Senior Games for those 50 and over. Our annual 5K Clayton Road Race returns in May for all ages along with our Senior Recognition Day, honoring all of those who have done so much to make our community great! The annual Summer Playground program offers supervised fun for 9 weeks and we have camps for sports, arts and one for our friends with special needs. There are a multitude of classes including exercise, art, pottery, and gardening. Our Community Garden also offers opportunities for individuals and groups looking for volunteer and community service hours and all of the produce generated goes to the local food bank where it is distributed in our community. We hope you will also join us for our family July 4th Celebration at Municipal Park. Bring you blanket or lawn chair and relax—or dance—to the music of North Tower. There will be activities for all age groups and a variety of food and games. Get a free slice of cold watermelon, run a three-legged race with your child, win a prize at cornhole or just enjoy the music. We also will have a very unique fireworks show that must be seen at the park to be fully appreciated. Take advantage of our programs and facilities and see why Clayton is
