Overview
The
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department is preparing for
a new neighborhood park at the southwest corner of Walnut Street and
Lawrence Road. The Town purchased the 11-acre parcel in 2002. See a
vicinity map and a detailed map showing existing
conditions.
Development of the park is part of a broader effort by the Town to improve the Walnut Street corridor as outlined in the Southeast Area Plan.
OBS Landscape Architects of Raleigh was selected to design the park. The firm designed Phase II of White Oak Park and two Town of Cary greenway projects.
The estimated cost of construction is $1.5 million.
Master Plan
The master plan for the park was adopted by Town Council on March 9, 2006.
