Craven County Recreation & Parks

Announcements & News

Our department has recently completed several improvements at Creekside Park. As you enter you will notice an asphalt overlay has just been applied from the front of the park to just after the entrance/exit for the adult softball parking lot. In addition we have added .3 mile trail while putting an asphalt overlay on the existing 1/4 mile trail. This also comes with both the walking trail parking lot and the area between the youth fields and adult fields also receiving an asphalt application. These projects will assist us with making our facilities more accessible.

Over the last several months we have added 6 wheelchair accessible picnic tables to the Rotary Shelter, painted all buildings and applied a seal to the front playground in the areas that have rubber mulch. One of our department goals is to make all our facilities easier for individuals with mobility needs.

Craven County Recreation & Parks Department is excited to announce that we completed the playground project at Creekside Park. We continue to make improvements to existing areas of the park to make Creekside Park an even better place for all of Craven County's citizens to enjoy. You can purchase a brick in memory or in honor of someone or just to support park improvements. Bricks are displayed near the flag pole in front of the new playground.
