WAKE FOREST, NC – The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department will host a public Skate Park Design Presentation on Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 6 p.m. in the Wake Forest Town Hall Ground Floor Meeting Room, 301 S. Brooks St. Attendees are urged to access the room via Town Hall’s Taylor Street entrance.

During the meeting, PRCR and New Line Skatepark staff will share information gathered from the September 30 public meeting, along with the results of the recent skate park survey. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and offer comments. 

In December 2023, the Town of Wake Forest purchased 8.3 acres of land adjacent to Devon Square and E. Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road, with plans to build a skate park and pump track on the property. In early 2024, as a requirement of obtaining grant funding for the project, the Town sought public input via two community meetings and an online survey. In late 2024 the Town received a PARTF (Parks & Recreation Trust Fund) grant in the amount of $500,000 to assist with building the facility. 

Earlier this year, after a publicly advertised Request for Qualifications (RFQ), Wake Forest hired New Line Skatepark Inc. to manage the design and construction of its first skate park and pump track. The facility is also tentatively scheduled to include basketball and fitness courts, restrooms, and picnic shelter.
