You’re invited to Wake Forest PRCR Master Plan Update open house August 5

The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department is in the process of updating its five-year Master Plan. Community input is the cornerstone of that process, also known as Play It Forward Wake Forest.

On Monday, Aug. 5, from 6-8 p.m., the PRCR Department and PRCR Advisory Board will host a public meeting (drop-in style open house) where attendees can share their thoughts and opinions on the draft Master Plan Update. The meeting will take place in the Wake Forest Town Hall Ground Floor Meeting Room, 301 S. Brooks St. The room is most easily accessed via Town Hall’s Taylor Street entrance.

The draft Master Plan Update is available for review and comment at https://engagewakeforest.org/parks-recreation-master-plan-update.

The August 5 session will have an informal, open house-style format, so community members can drop in anytime from 6-8 p.m. to view displays, ask questions, and share comments.

The PRCR Master Plan reflects the Town’s vision of a vibrant community and responds to the needs and desires of its residents, friends, and visitors for fun, healthy, exciting, and diverse activities. Scheduled for completion later this year, the master plan update is designed to examine where we are now, what our anticipated needs are for the future, and how we can improve and upgrade our existing facilities and programs to effectively serve residents and visitors in years to come.

Wake Forest is contracting with McAdams, a multidisciplinary planning, design, and engineering firm, to assist with the process. McAdams’ team of planners and consultants are assessing the Town’s existing parks, facilities, recreational amenities, and program offerings to determine how they can be updated, expanded, and improved to meet the community’s current and future needs.
