During a recent government meeting, officials provided updates on various community projects and facilities, highlighting ongoing developments and adjustments in response to community needs.

One notable change is the extension of the splash pad's operating hours, which will now remain open on weekends through the end of September, rather than closing after Labor Day as initially planned. This decision was influenced by warmer weather and community requests, although weekday operations will be reduced due to staffing shortages as schools resume.

In terms of infrastructure, sound barriers have been installed at pickleball courts in Pleasant Park and Community Park to address noise concerns from nearby residents.

Angela, a project manager, detailed the progress of four active greenway projects. The Apex West project is nearing completion, with final touches pending before reimbursement requests from Wake County can be made. The Bridal Creek project is also progressing, although it remains closed to the public until the adjacent section of Highway 540 is opened. A significant event is planned for October 18, 2025, to celebrate the completion of new sections of the greenway in collaboration with Holly Springs and Wake County.

The Beavercreek project is advancing well, with efforts to connect a large section of the greenway from Sweetwater to the ATT. Plans are in place to apply for a grant to complete the eastern segment of this corridor.

Upcoming projects include the redevelopment of West Street Park, which will involve public engagement to gather community input. Construction for a new street hockey facility is awaiting permit approval, and a fee study is underway to address land dedication and cost recovery.

Additionally, the town is planning a renovation of Kidstown Playground, focusing on community involvement to honor its history while updating the facility. An Environmental Education Center is also in the works, with a consultant selected to finalize the design.

Overall, the meeting underscored the town's commitment to enhancing community facilities and engaging residents in the planning process, with multiple projects aimed at improving recreational spaces and infrastructure.
