Pender County Invites Community to Help Shape New Playground at Long Creek Community Park

Pender County invites residents to attend a drop-in public input session on Tuesday, Aug. 18, from 4 to 6 p.m., to provide input on the design and features of a new playground at Long Creek Community Park, located on the former site of the Long Creek-Grady School at 23280 N.C. Highway 210, Rocky Point, NC 28457.

Pender County recently received an appropriation from the North Carolina General Assembly to fund the installation of the playground, marking the first major amenity planned for the community park. The County is seeking input from residents to help ensure the playground reflects the needs and interests of local children, families, and the broader community.

During the drop-in session, attendees will have the opportunity to share ideas about playground features, accessibility, age-appropriate play elements, and other considerations that will guide the project's design.

In addition to gathering feedback on the playground, Pender County will also gather input for the long-term vision for Long Creek Community Park. This input will inform future planning efforts, including a potential application to the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) grant program to support additional park amenities such as walking trails, restrooms, picnic shelters, open green space, fitness areas, or other recreational features identified by the community.

"This playground is an exciting investment in our community, and we want the people who will use it to help shape it," said Zach White, Parks and Recreation Director. "We encourage families, neighbors, and community members to attend the public input session and share their ideas so we can create a playground and park that reflects the needs and priorities of our citizens for years to come."
