Why We Need Your Input: Cary is embarking on a feasibility study for the planning, design, and construction of several new community centers. It is an opportunity to develop modern multigenerational community centers that would serve all ages and interests in Town. The Town’s goal is to make these new centers an integral space for our community of friendly, caring people, and that these will play a key role in promoting the health of our community. The Mills Park Community Center will include a diverse offerings of recreation programs and activities. In addition, one of these community centers will include an indoor multi-use sports facility to balance the county's inventory of outdoor sports fields and venues. The goal is to increase sports tourism and travel and help Wake County attain its long-term, overnight visitation goals.

How We'll Use Your Responses: Your input will be used to ensure that we'll make these facilities extraordinary public spaces for all to enjoy. Some of the questions ask you to type a comment, others are pick your top choice.  If the question doesn't apply you may leave it blank. This survey should take you approximately 10-12 minutes to complete. If you choose to participate - and we hope you do - please note that responses are considered public record under state law. This survey will close February 28, 2023.
