The playground at Greystone Recreation Center will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m on Tuesday, April 21, for maintenance. The facility will be open, and classes will operate as scheduled.

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.

Learn more about this closure or visit one of our other Dog Parks. 

Due to low water levels, all patrons with trailered boats are advised to use caution when attempting to launch their vessels.

It is recommended that vessels over 20ft do not attempt to launch their vessels 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.

Beginning April 1, Pullen Park Amusements will reopen while the shoreline improvements around Lake Howell continue through August. Visitors can once again enjoy their favorite rides and attractions this spring and summer.

Thank you for your patience as we continue improvements to this well-loved park.

Crews are actively working on the Barwell Road Improvement Project. There may be temporary lane closures and traffic shifts during this work.

For your safety and that of the construction crews, please slow down and follow the flagger's instructions while driving through the construction zone. 

Construction will begin March 2025. We will then do tree removal, erosion control, and tree and construction fencing  installation. Road closures are going to impact the community, but traffic detours will be posted. The duration of the construction is approximately 10 months which puts the completion in Spring 2026.

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. For the most part, local traffic (residents within the work zone) will have access to their driveways and will be able to come and go as needed. 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.
