Forestville Road Park Community Advisory Group Selection
Forestville Road Park Community Advisory Group Selection
We are excited to work with the community to create a Forestville Road Park Master Plan that reflects the unique needs and desires of local residents. The future Forestville Road Park site is located at 4909 Forestville Road, Raleigh, NC 27616.
To facilitate this process, Raleigh Parks is proposing the creation of a Community Advisory Group (CAG). This group will work in partnership with city staff to ensure that the park design and elements meet the specific needs and preferences of the community. We welcome your input and look forward to collaborating with you on this exciting project!
The application to complete CAG Questionnaire is now active - the deadline to submit the form is May 31st, 2024.
Purpose and Authority of the CAG
The purpose of the Forestville Road Park CAG is to represent community interests and validate and report design recommendations to Parks, Recreation and Greenway Advisory Board (PRGAB) for review. The proposed Master Plan will be presented to City Council for approval, along with the Board's recommendation.
Note: CAG membership is a volunteer-based position.
