Thank You for Your Input

We appreciate everyone who participated in the public engagement process for the Tarboro Road Park project. Your feedback played a key role in shaping the redesign of the park and community center. The Schematic Design plans (30% design completion) were presented to the public at the project open house on June 26, 2025.  Presentation material from that open house is available in the Resources section below.

City staff will present the Schematic Design to the Parks, Recreation, and Greenway Advisory Board on July 17, 2025 (6 p.m., Council Chambers at the Raleigh Municipal Building) and to City Council on Aug. 19, 2025 (1 p.m., Council Chambers at the Raleigh Municipal Building).  

Project Overview

The 2022 City of Raleigh Parks Bond allocates funding for redevelopment of Tarboro Road Park including a new community center, new outdoor amenities and recreational features, and improvements to the St. Monica Teen Center.
