Looking for vast, open fields, minimal trees and open to public (Wake Forest: parks, work)

[donarba]

I am searching for a field for a photo shoot somewhere in the Triangle or even a bit further into surrounding areas. The type of field I am looking for would be a wide open area, maybe some high grass and maybe mixed in with some floral weeds or flowers, a few trees but not too many. The look we need is imitating a scene from the west. Think western states foothills, Utah, Colorado, California, etc. I know it's not possible to replicate it exactly, but am hoping to find something that I can work with.

Any ideas?

E. Carroll Joyner Park in Wake Forest comes to mind...

I've never been to the Prairie Ridge Ecostation, but it looks like it would be worth checking into. It's on Reedy Creek Road.

Thank you both a ton. Both look great!

Anderson Point Park might be a good option too
