WAKE FOREST, NC – Beginning later today and continuing through late spring, the Taylor Street Park Playground, 416 N. Taylor St., will be closed for renovations. 

Over the next few days, crews will start removing the existing playground features and preparing for the construction of the new and improved playground by assembling equipment and supplies onsite. Construction is expected to begin in early spring. 

Upon completion, the new playground will feature:

  • Ramped playground structures that offer ease of access for people of all mobility ranges
  • Climbers, ladders, sensory experiences, play panels rocker, swings, slides, and balance challenges
  • Seating and shaded areas

The cost of the initiative is $700,000.

Signage and barricades will be posted to inform community members of the closure. For more information, email Parks & Recreation Maintenance Manager Randy Hoyle at rhoyle@wakeforestnc.gov.
