This fall, the field will see an upgrade to artificial turf, thanks to an NFL Grassroots Grant and the support of the Carolina Panthers organization.

Crooked Creek Park boasts an ADA playground, splash pad, dog park, outdoor fitness center, 18-hole disc golf course and a park-wide walking trail all centered around a four-field baseball/softball complex. Phase II of the park includes a fishing pond and BMX course with construction set to begin this year. 

Crossing Paths Park features an amphitheater and hosts the Town's summer concert series, comedy shows and family movie nights. 

Walking trails are a core element of the Town's parks. Additionally, the Affinity Trail connects Uptown and Downtown. A cross-town greenway project will also start soon, creating a multi-use path through Indian Trail.
