March 2021
The Community Center construction project is complete and staff has begun moving into the building and planning upcoming events and programs. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed construction completion from the original summer 2020 completion to winter 2021, but we are thrilled to introduce our community to this facility in the coming months. The City of Creedmoor is planning a soft-opening ribbon cutting for April 27, 2021 with the hopes of beginning full operations on April 28. This will be dictated by health/safety precautions and on restrictions instituted by the State of North Carolina. Stay tuned for more information about rental fees, programs, and daily operations in the coming weeks


February 2020

Crews are hard at work on the Creedmoor Community Center   project! Construction has hit several milestones, and we are sure everyone has noticed the new gymnasium building progress throughout the last few months. Much of the work on the historic gym has moved to interior work on the new Senior Center, meeting rooms, workout areas, and so many other resources we can’t wait to unveil to our residents! The Parks and Recreation Committee is reviewing draft policies and fees for the Community Center, and staff continues to meet regularly with contractors and engineers to ensure a smooth completion of the project. Currently, the Community Center is scheduled to open by the end of the summer. Keep an eye on our social media pages for construction updates, and upcoming announcements regarding the ribbon cutting and grand opening!
