The current dog park at Moore Square will be closing temporarily as we prepare for exciting improvements.

The existing temporary pop-up dog park will close on Aug. 31, and we anticipate our brand-new permanent dog park will open in its place in December 2025.

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

Due to construction, the John Chavis Memorial Park playground will be closed until Sept. 25.

The City is restoring three (3) streams and adding wetlands in Worthdale Park. Construction is expected to begin in September 2025 and take about six months (March 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.

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 early 2026.

Construction will begin late June 2025 and last up to 4 months. Work hours will be Monday - Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with no work scheduled on the weekend except in an emergency or with prior approval from the City. Raleigh Stormwater staff will coordinate with Raleigh Parks to minimize impact on summer activities.

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.
