What was once a paved parking lot is now a welcoming civic space located in front of the new Town Hall and Police Department. At its center is a 12,000-square-foot lawn surrounded by a walking loop providing space for recreation, relaxation, and community connection. The park also features a multi-purpose open-air pavilion and an interactive water feature, creating a destination for residents of all ages.

The pavilion, with 2,000 square feet of open floor space, includes a performance stage, restrooms, picnic tables, lighting, and electrical access designed to support a variety of community events, including Spencer’s beloved Winterfest.

Sustainability and heritage were key to the park’s design. Native plants and pollinator-friendly landscaping support the local ecosystem, while historic elements including brick columns inspired by the 1926 park and restored light fixtures connect the space to Spencer’s past. Located across from the North Carolina Transportation Museum, the park complements the surrounding architecture and celebrates the town’s rich history.
