Long Creek Park

Once known as Long Creek Golf Course, this 164 acre site will be converted into a new 100 acre linear City Park. The remaining 64 acres will remain as a Conservation Easement. Through the Master Planning process in 2017, Stimmel conducted 3 public input meetings, & worked closely with the City of Winston-Salem stakeholders, key staff & members of the community to determine what residents want to see at this new City Park. Their priorities included new park facilities such as a new Pool House for the existing pool, New Market Shelter for dual purpose farmers market + revenue generating picnic shelter, new Recreation Center, nature based playgrounds, conversion of old cart paths to multiple walking trails connecting neighborhoods, new pump track, skills course & numerous natural surface/ bike trails, disc golf, educational opportunities & overlooks integrated with the conservation areas, connection to the Mountains to Sea trail & other amenities.
Phase 1 plans for the initial 3.5 acres included a New 3,470 SF Pool House with Shade Structure, New (40×80’) dual purpose Market Shelter, entrance drive, utility services & main parking area that were released this summer.
Stimmel worked closely with the local Audubon Society on key native trees & plantings for birds, bees & wildlife for landscape design.
