WAKE FOREST, NC – The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department is inviting community members to share their opinion on the design of the future skate park by completing an online survey at https://engagewakeforest.org/skate-park-pump-track-basketball-court.
Community members are invited to provide feedback on two design concepts, including what they like and do not like about each one. Available through Wednesday, Nov. 26, the survey takes about five minutes to complete.
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 plansto 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.
