Project Overview

The River Cane Wetland Park is a vacant parcel located at 4700 Kyle Drive, near the intersection of Louisburg Road (U.S. Highway 401) and Valley Stream Drive. This future park site is 27.25 acres and is located along the Beaverdam Creek Greenway Corridor.

Inspired by the Beaverdam Creek Wetland, River Cane Wetland Park will connect visitors to nature and serve as an inclusive community hub, providing nature-based recreation, multi-generational activities, and enhancement of the natural environment.

We will provide subscriber email updates as the project progresses from design to permitting, bidding, and construction. Visit the Engagement Portal to learn more about the park design process and sign up for future updates.

Art in the Park 

In her work, "Many Ways to Say Home," artist Austen Camille will create a series of sculptures looking at the landscape of River Cane Wetland Park from the point of view of other beings that call the park "home." The pieces, inspired by the perspectives of plants, birds, bats, and insects, will also draw from poetry that was created in public workshops during the spring and fall of 2025. The work will be installed during the construction of the park and will be on display when the park opens. Learn more about the public artist.
