Description:

TSW began a Master Plan for Walker Park, one of the Fayetteville's oldest and most active community parks in 2022. Spanning approximately 70 acres in
the heart of the city, the park offers a wide range of recreational amenities including a splashpad, skate park, playgrounds, tennis courts, a disc golf course, pavilions, and a youth baseball complex. Developed with community and stakeholder input, the master plan resulted in both short-and long-term recommendations for the park.

The Walker Park Master Plan was officially adopted by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board in September 2023. Since its adoption, the City has continued working with the TSW team to implement Phase I of the plan. Construction documents are currently underway for new multi-purpose activity fields, playground areas, passive green spaces, pathways, a large venue for competitive horseshoe competitions and other community gathering spaces and amenities. Phase I
construction is anticipated to break ground in 2025.
