History

The Forestville Road Property represents only a small portion of what was once an approximately 600-acre plantation, originally owned by Kearney Upchurch. 

There are some historic structures still on site which can be viewed on the Pre-Development Assessment Plan below.

Public Participation Process

The Forestville Road Park Project will follow the Collaborate Pathway, as outlined in the City of Raleigh Public Participation Playbook.

Community engagement will be conducted when determining the naming of the site.
