Caraleigh Park Improvements Project

Renovations Funded by Accessibility for Parks Grant

Caraleigh Park is an existing 0.57-acre neighborhood park, located at 110 Maywood Avenue, approximately 1 mile south of Downtown Raleigh. In March 2023, the City of Raleigh was selected as a recipient of an Accessibility for Parks Grant, which will be used for universal design-focused renovations to Caraleigh Park, with a special emphasis on sensory play. 

Proposed improvements include a new, ADA-accessible ramp to access the park, renovations to the basketball court, a new playground with safety surfacing and sensory-focused play, as well as general improvements to the open space, landscaping, and shade. Additionally, the project will include upgrades to the existing bus stop, potentially including a pad and furnishings.
