Biltmore Hills Park Master Plan Update

Planning for the Future

Project Overview

The Biltmore Hills Park Master Plan Update will guide a comprehensive vision for the existing 38-acre community park located at 2615 Fitzgerald Drive, as well as an adjacent 8-acre parcel at 1105 Cross Link Road.

Established in the 1960s, Biltmore Hills Park has long served as a cornerstone for recreation, athletics, and cultural gatherings in Southeast Raleigh. The master plan update builds on that legacy—integrating planned improvements from the 2022 Parks Bond with new opportunities to enhance the park’s role as a community hub for recreation, wellness, and connection.

Planning

The Biltmore Hills Park Master Plan Update will align near-term renovations funded through the 2022 Parks Bond with a long-term vision that reflects community priorities and citywide goals for health, sustainability, and environmental resilience.

Engagement will occur across four phases—Site Analysis & Initial Input, Design Alternatives, Draft Master Plan Review, and Approval—using a mix of public open houses, focus groups, event outreach, and online surveys to ensure broad and inclusive participation.

The process will build on the park’s historic role as a gathering place for Southeast Raleigh and strengthen its connection to nearby parks such as Walnut Creek Wetland Park and Barwell Road Park, creating a more connected and resilient park network for the community.
