New Cary park on Walnut Street
July 18th, 2007
The Town of Cary will soon start construction on a new town park that will open in the Fall of 2007. We recently moved to Cary from Hilton Head Island, SC. We are so thrilled that you can actually enjoy the outdoor amenities here. At the coast we could never sit outside and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, because you would be eaten alive by the noseeums.
The Town has recently announced it has approved a new park at Walnut Street and Lawrence Road, in the heart of Cary. Designed by Raleigh-based OBS Landscape Architects, the park will include nature trails, two playgrounds, one for toddlers, and the other for kids ages 5-12, picnic shelters, restroom facilities, a boardwalk over a small stream. An 800-foot brick promenade, designed by Arizona-based public artist Barbara Grygudis.
From looking at the conceptual drawings, this park looks like an ideal place to kick back and get away from the stresses of real life. With lots of walking trails and open space, I can’t wait to take my kids to ride bikes and fly kites. The lost art of spending quality time with the family.
