Cary Downtown Park - Currently Under Renovation

Downtown Cary Park is under construction! Due to open Fall 2023.

More than twenty years in the making, the Downtown Cary Park will total seven acres in size and will be centrally located in Downtown Cary surrounded by Walker, Academy, Park, and Walnut Streets. The park will feature a “great lawn” and unique, tiered water feature. The lawn will be fronted by a pavilion and interspersed around the lawn will be a series of unique spaces, or “rooms,” linked by paved walking trails. Additional features include performance places, market spaces, public art incorporated into the landscape, food, and beverage facilities, a play area, interactive water features, a dog play area, and walkways for strolling and relaxing.

A key feature of the Downtown Park is the amount of proposed programming, including art exhibitions, arts and crafts classes, performances and concerts, cardio and fitness classes, book clubs, story time programs, and movies. The goal is to generate activity in the Park that will energize Downtown Cary.
