Complete

Construction is complete and the trail at NC Museum of Art is open. This project improves stormwater management, water quality, and habitat of a tributary to House Creek that ultimately flows to Crabtree Creek and the Neuse River. Educational signage shares information about the project and its benefits with approximately 700,000 Museum Park visitors each year.

Next Steps

 

There are some repairs and additional plantings throughout summer and fall 2025 that may temporarily close the trail.
