A true urban park, the new space anchors the corner of South Academy Street and Kildaire Farm Road, across from Cary Arts Center. The centerpiece of the park is a stunning, lighted fountain.

Downtown Cary runs North - South along North and South Academy Streets between Chapel Hill Road on the North side and Dry Avenue on the South side. There are several Green open spaces located in Downtown Cary primarily at the Town Hall Campus on the north side and the Public Library on the south side. Each Green open space provides a park setting for visitors to downtown. When school is not in session there is a playground and open fields on the south end of downtown Cary at the Cary Elementary Campus. Academy Street will be closed to traffic during arts festivals and parades, creating a larger public gathering space.
