Bird's eye view showing outdoor fields and large recreation center


Your feedback is needed to help select the words displayed in the park’s main public art piece, a large metal water droplet with different words and images cut into the metal. The droplet will be illuminated via internal LED lights. Park visitors can use one or two buttons to select the lighting color. The droplet shape reflects the ties that the Town and the park site specifically have to the natural springs that enabled the first residents of Holly Springs to start a community here. The metal material and clean finish represent the modern Holly Springs, where the technology and life science industries thrive. A polished strip on the metal droplet will reflect the person enjoying the art so they can see themselves within the Holly Springs community and celebrate our Town's diversity.

 Main Droplet during the day and illuminated at night

Three locations for art installations are placed along the central promenade.

  • The first piece visitors encounter when entering the park from Cass Holt Road will display text in various languages welcoming visitors to their park.
  • The second droplet along the promenade is proposed as the largest of the three installations. Please complete this survey to guide the words within this droplet.
  • The third droplet is planned for the recreation center's main entry plaza. This droplet will be filled with words that evoke the many activities park visitors can enjoy.

If you see the same word in the comments below, upvote that word. It will move closer to the top and be more likely to be displayed on the art!!

Frequently Asked Questions

The metal edges will be ground and polished to avoid sharp edges. Likewise, the metal cutouts will be designed and tested so children (and adults) can't get their fingers stuck.

The metal used doesn't hold heat like old playground slides did, and heat isn’t anticipated to be an issue. The artist has completed similar projects in hotter climates than NC without any issues.  

It does! We look forward to providing programs and amenities throughout the day and into the evening, including lighted multi-purpose fields, pickleball courts, volleyball courts, and the all-wheels park. The exact hours of operation will be determined closer to the park's grand opening in late 2027.
