Contractors will be onsite from now until mid-January 2026 to do work on the bioretention areas. Park amenities will remain open.

The park’s rolling topography, mature tree canopy, and existing creeks provide the opportunity to integrate park features within this natural setting. Due to these existing natural conditions, and their associated buffers and steep slopes, the McCrimmon Park has a nature theme. The park program is designed to serve all age groups with a focus on facilities that have small footprints and can be clustered on the flatter ridges.

Project Background

This 20-acre neighborhood park site is located at the southeast corner of Green Level Church Road and McCrimmon Parkway in northwest Cary. The site was purchased in 2007 with a portion of the funding coming from a $700,000 grant from the Wake County Open Space Preservation Program.

Master planning started in the fall of 2017. Public involvement included public information meetings in January and November of 2018; an online questionnaire for public input; a Citizens Resource Team which met three times to provide input on the proposed program and plans; and presentations to the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources and Public Art Advisory Boards. On June 27, 2019, the Cary Town Council approved the master plan and master plan report for the Neighborhood Park on McCrimmon Parkway along with the master plan for the park on Carpenter Fire Station Road. Construction funding for these parks is included in the Parks Bond approved by Cary voters in October 2019.
