New Cary Park on Walnut Street

New Cary Park on Walnut Street

The Town of Cary will soon start construction on a new town park that will open in the Fall of 2007. We live in Cary, and we have two small sons, who love to move around! We are so thrilled that you can actually enjoy the outdoor amenities here. So many of the clients we talk to who want a home in Cary, think they need a basement for kids to play in!  We try to tell them the weather here means you are going to love being outside at our Parks in Cary!

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.
