<br />Project Description/Justification:Blackwood Farm Park is a 152-
<br />acre park between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough on NC 86 and New
<br />Hope Church Road. The park opened on a limited basis in June 2015
<br />and is currently open Friday-Sunday. Funding for park infrastructure,
<br />design, and other associated needs, including construction of new
<br />turn lanes, entryway and parking was included in FY 2016-17 and 17-
<br />18. Construction drawings and bid documents for the majority of park
<br />construction are underway and expected to begin in summer 2019.
<br />The park construction includes new picnic shelters, restrooms, an
<br />amphitheater, repairs and renovations to the farmstead, fishing station,
<br />trails, nature center and open play fields, along with a disc golf course
<br />and agricultural exhibit areas. It is anticipated that the park will open
<br />full-time in the fall of 2020 once construction is complete. Funding of
<br />$910,000 in FY 2022-23 includes an enhanced nature center (with associated matching partner revenue) and
<br />design work for the final phase of park construction (Phase 3). Funding of $775,000 is included in FY 2023-24
<br />for construction of Phase III, which includes the remaining New Hope Church Road area facilities and amenities,
<br />with equipment needs for the park and nature center in Year 6.
