Besides wandering through the woods and discovering the streams and ponds, spend an afternoon at Wendell Parks & Recreation with its playground, disk golf, walking and jogging trails, playing fields, an agility course, and dog park. When you're in Zebulon, visit Whitley Park. For dining out, head to the blue bungalow that houses Pelicans Snoballs or the many restaurants that serve of comfort foods, like Barhams Restaurant or Aubrey's & Peedie's Grill.

You’ll find the grocery stores around Olde Wendell to be surprisingly varied. Try Compare Foods, Carlie C’s IGA, B R & F Food Mart, and La Mexicanita II for vittles. Find specialty shops, such as Bullock’s Flea Market and the Southern Glimpse boutique, right in the neighborhood and the Dancer’s Closet, which specializes in clothes for dancers. If the old fridge you brought with you to your new place isn’t working, give Bailey’s Used Appliances a call. Stop by Whitley Furniture Galleries to find the perfect chair, sofa, or table for your new home.
