The Neuse River Park project is now in the Schematic Design phase. There will be additional touchpoints with the community in  2025, and we hope to hear from you! We of course agree that everyone who will be impacted by this project has a right to participate, and we welcome all to stay involved throughout the planning process.

Artist Gabriel Eng-Goetz is creating public art for the Neuse River Park. His work will be installed during the construction of the park and will be on display in spring 2028 when the park opens. Learn more about the public artist.

Funding has been allocated for community engagement, Master Plan development, design, and construction at the Neuse River Park through the 2022 Parks Bond Referendum. Raleigh Parks is excited to work with the community to create a Master Plan that reflects the unique needs and desires of local residents.

Raleigh Parks is excited to announce that the City Council officially approved the Neuse River Park Master Plan during their Jan. 7, 2025 session!
