Neuse River Park Public Site Visit

Neuse River Trail 12030 Old Falls of Neuse Road, Wake Forest

Parking is available at the existing greenway trailhead at 12030 Old Falls of Neuse Road. During the public site visits, we aim to engage with current park visitors and to help explain the proposed plans for the future Neuse River Park. This event will have content similar to the Public Workshop but presented on-site! Staff will be in attendance with information boards available along the Neuse River Greenway adjacent to the future park. These are informational events and we encourage everyone to provide their detailed feedback through the online survey or at the Public Workshop.
