It is owned and managed by the Research Triangle Foundation, a private non-profit organization. 
North Carolina's <a href="/facts/Research_Triangle/HE5PQFhE">Research Triangle</a> region is named for the facility, which sits within the geographic triangle formed by three nearby research universities: <a href="/facts/North_Carolina_State_University/FnMUAASu">North Carolina State University</a>, <a href="/facts/Duke_University/BFMHVjsB">Duke University</a>, and <a href="/facts/University_of_North_Carolina_at_Chapel_Hill/Wrd3mBWz">University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill</a>. 
The park is bounded by the cities of <a href="/facts/Raleigh%2c_North_Carolina/6WznvprP">Raleigh</a>, <a href="/facts/Durham%2c_North_Carolina/AvMmj3jS">Durham</a>, and <a href="/facts/Chapel_Hill%2c_North_Carolina/EmMmaTFt">Chapel Hill</a> and the communities of <a href="/facts/Morrisville%2c_North_Carolina/gAhlgogX">Morrisville</a> and <a href="/facts/Cary%2c_North_Carolina/wrw4LTcU">Cary</a>. Most of its territory lies within <a href="/facts/Durham_County%2c_North_Carolina/X9BLa3AN">Durham County</a>, with about one-quarter in <a href="/facts/Wake_County%2c_North_Carolina/Stkt7BPJ">Wake County</a>.
