Founder Park renovations underway

LELAND, NC (WWAY)– As the holidays wrap up, construction at Founders Park is hitting the ground running. 

Ground has officially been broken for renovations, and security fencing has gone up around the park as crews demo the old equipment to prep for new additions including a splash pad, amphitheater, and restrooms. 

Project Manager Will Lear says this project has been a long time coming, and they are thrilled to finally get the ball rolling.   

“Now that we’ve got the holidays behind us, were able to make a lot of good progress on the park and we’ve officially broken ground with machinery out here tearing up the old parking lot and tearing up the old trails, and we’re about to start the site work on the park,” said Lear. 

Upgrades for Founders Park are set to be completed by the end of the year.
