Parks’ water fountains shut off, restrooms remain open

Town crews have shut off the water fountains at all Wake Forest parks, including Flaherty Dog Park, 1226 N. White St., Joyner Park Playground, 701 Harris Road, and Holding Park Inclusive Playground, 133 W. Owen Ave. Crews disable the water fountains during the winter months to prevent water freezing in pipes and for general maintenance.

The restrooms at all Wake Forest parks will remain open. In 2015 the Town installed heating units and insulation and made other modifications to the park restrooms essential to ensuring they remain accessible year-round.
