John Chavis Park & Community Center Presentation

The project scope includes a new two-story community center with a full size indoor gym, elevated walking track, fitness center and numerous classroom and meeting spaces. A renovation to the original Carousel House will allow for interior event space, and exterior bathroom access. Linking these two buildings together will be a new central plaza with integrated water feature, and a large playground for all ages and abilities.

The Schematic Design was presented to the Raleigh Parks, Recreation, and Greenway Advisory Board on March 16, 2017, and was approved by the Raleigh City Council on March 21, 2017. The project moved into final design, project administration, and permitting phases which were ultimately completed in December 2018.

Learning Objectives:
