Moratock Park Project




Thanks to those who took time out from a stormy Thursday evening last week to attend the public meeting on how an updated Moratock Park might look. I think you saw a glimpse of what the future of the park could look like. The two notional site plans that were presented were well done and incorporated some very interesting alternatives. For those who were unable to attend and would like a quick overview, I have the boards on view in my office on the 3rd floor of the Reagan Building in Danbury.

Briefly, the two plans show how the park could be better utilized and updated to provide more recreational opportunities to the residents of Stokes County and our many visitors. This includes updates to the ball field, an open air theater, equipped playground, raised walkways around the river, protected stream banks, a frisbe golf course and much more.

The next steps will include a funding plan with costs estimates and a possible timeline for this project. For this project to be successful, we will need public input and participation. Let me know if you have any questions or comments on the Moratock Park Project and there is always room to jump on the bandwagon, it should be a great ride!
