Miller Park Phase 1 Improvements are underway

J.M. Thompson Company, a contractor working on behalf of the Town of Wake Forest, has started work on Phase 1 of the Miller Park Upgrades & Stream Restoration Project.

Located at 401 Elm Avenue in downtown Wake Forest, Miller Park is situated at the intersection of South Franklin Street, Elm Avenue, and South Taylor Street. The two-acre wooded park features a picnic area and paved trails that loop throughout the park.

Funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the Phase 1 improvements are designed to restore an unstable stream that flows through the park and renovate the park’s amenities and greenway system to enhance connectivity. For more details, including construction plans, visit the Town’s IDT website or https://bit.ly/MillerParkImprovements.

Construction activities will intermittently affect traffic along South Franklin Street, Elm Avenue, and South Taylor Street. Notifications regarding road or lane closures will be shared through normal Town channels.

Phase 1 improvements are expected to be completed in late 2026. For more information, email CIP Manager Steven Meyer at [email protected].
