Big things are coming to Crowder County Park!

The Wake County Board of Commissioners on Monday approved the schematic design for the park's expansion, paving the way for new trails, new facilities and new opportunities for residents to enjoy the outdoors.

The approved Phase I Schematic Design reflects community priorities such as preserving nature, improving access, supporting play and strengthening environmental education. The plan includes:

🚦 A signalized pedestrian crossing at Ten-Ten Road
🥾 New natural surface trails
🌉 A bridge over Dutchman’s Branch
💚 A segment of greenway that will eventually connect to Cary’s greenway system
🏠 A new park center with an indoor classroom and restrooms
🚗 Additional parking
🎨 Public art
