Introduction: The community is invited to join a Public Information Meeting at the Hargraves Community Center, 216 Roberson Street, Chapel Hill, NC, on Thursday, December 15, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. to learn more information and share ideas on an Inclusive Playground and Splash pad Feasibility Assessment Project.
The Town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, desires to enhance and expand the recreational opportunities available to Chapel Hill residents. The Town also recognizes the opportunity to attract visitors to the community with distinctive aquatic attractions and inclusive playgrounds.
It is interested in developing a splash pad facility and an inclusive playground that are unique, sustainable, aesthetically pleasing, safe, and accessible for all.
The Town’s Parks and Recreation Department staff is working with representatives from Coulter Jewell Thames, now an affiliate of Thomas & Hutton to prepare a Feasibility Assessment to help guide our decision making for considering an Inclusive Playground and a Splash pad at one or more of the following locations, Chapel Hill Community Center Park, the Hargraves Park, Homestead Park and Southern Community Park.
