Also on Friday, June 1, but at 10 a.m. Wake Forest Town officials and guests will officially break ground for the Joyner Park Community Center. The ceremony will be in the visitors parking lot in E. Carroll Joyner Park on Harris Road. Speakers will include Mayor Vivian Jones and Ruben Wall, director of the parks, recreation and cultural resources department. Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony.
The 32,000-square-foot building will house a walking track, a gym for basketball, volleyball and pickleball, multi-purpose rooms, a dance studio and a kitchen. The building is designed to blend in with other Joyner Park structures and the wooded location.
Barnhill Construction is already at work, clearing the land for the building that is projected to cost $11.7 million, which will be paid by the bonds town voters approved in 2014.
Park visitors are advised that walking trails in the vicinity of the construction site have been closed out of concern for public safety. No trespassing signage is posted prominently throughout the work zone. Officials are strongly urging area residents to obey the posted signage and avoid the construction area.
