Neuse River Park Planning Process
The public survey for Neuse River Park Schematic Design is now closed. Thank you for your feedback. Survey results are available here: https://PublicInput.com/Report/2de1jgcw0zk
Upcoming Meetings
The project team will present updated cost estimates and a refined schematic design to the Community Advisory Group on February 10, 2026. The project will then advance to the Parks Committee on April 2, 2026, where elements proposed for funding through Phase One will be finalized.
On April 16, 2026, the schematic design will be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Greenway Advisory Board, which will provide a recommendation to City Council. The project is anticipated to be considered by City Council in May 2026, at which time Council will be asked to vote on the schematic design.
Learn more about the proposed park elements and how the public engagement process shaped the design of the park so far.
Artist Gabriel Eng-Goetz has made updates to the public art design based on community feedback gathered earlier in 2025. Click here for more information!
