Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal 4: The City of Fayetteville will be a highly desirable place to live, work and recreate with thriving neighborhoods and a high quality of life for all residents.
Executive Summary:
The Mazarick Park Neighborhood Connections Plan continues the City of Fayetteville’s vision of creating an interconnected system of parks and greenways that provides amenities for residents and destinations for visitors. This effort focuses on how to improve neighborhood connections to Mazarick Park and better connect the Murchison Road Corridor and Fayetteville State University to the Cross Creek Linear Park, Downtown Fayetteville, Methodist University, the Cape Fear River Trail and other attractions.
Background:
