The City is restoring three (3) streams and adding wetlands in Worthdale Park. Construction is expected to begin in September 2025 and be completed in the summer of 2026.

During on-site work hours, there may be elevated noise or vibrations. The park and Community Center will remain open during construction. Fencing will be placed around the construction area, restricting access to the public. Some parking spots will be used for construction equipment and materials.

The dog park at Moore Square is temporarily closed as we prepare for exciting improvements.

The temporary pop-up dog park closed in August 2025, and we anticipate our brand-new permanent dog park will open in its place in Summer 2026.

Due to low water levels, all patrons with trailered boats are advised to use caution when launching their vessels. It is recommended that vessels over 20ft do not attempt to launch your vessel during these conditions. Additionally, all boaters need to be aware of potential low water hazards and exposed shorelines during this time. 

For additional questions, please contact the Lake Wheeler Park office at 919-996-6740.

We started construction for the Glenwood Creston Drainage Project and anticipate it being complete in November 2026. This project will be completed in phases so actual construction activities will vary along the project corridor which starts upslope of Woodland Avenue and terminates downslope of Alexander Drive.

What To Expect

Traffic closures will range from flagging and light traffic control to temporary lane or street closures.

Normal work hours will be Monday - Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No work will be scheduled on weekends or City holidays, except in an emergency or with prior approval from the City. The City will have an inspector onsite daily.

Crews are actively working on the Carolina Pines Improvement project. There may be temporary lane closures and traffic shifts during this work.
