Project Overview

The 2022 Raleigh Parks Bond allocates $6,960,000 for the implementation of the new Erinsbrook Park. Erinsbrook Park will be located at 11921 Leesville Road in Raleigh. The 13-acre site is mostly wooded and bisected by a stream, that is a major feature of the site.

In 2017, the City Council adopted the Erinsbrook Park Master Plan. Park implementation will follow the adopted master plan. Per the master plans, site elements include a parking lot, playground, open lawn area, picnic shelters, restroom facility, trails, stormwater treatment features, and EV charging stations. 

Please see the Resources section at the bottom of this page to download the Master Plan.
