Creedmoor Memorial Park

On July 6^th, 2021 the City of Creedmoor Board of Commissioners approved the establishment of Creedmoor Memorial Park, honoring the contribution active, retired, and reserve members of the Armed Services have provided to our Country and Community. Creedmoor Memorial Park includes the 1.75 acres of city property adjacent to the Creedmoor Community Center (108 East Wilton Avenue); planning and development of this property is in the preliminary stages, proposed improvements include, but are not limited to, B.C. Roberts field rehabilitation, playground, shelter, gardens, and a multi-use community space.

Park and Recreation staff have prioritized the rehabilitation of B.C. Roberts Field, to accomplish this a combination of City funds, grants, and private sponsorships/donations will be utilized. The Granville Tourism Development Authority (TDA) has generously awarded the City of Creedmoor a $15,000 grant to support the rehabilitation of B.C. Roberts Field, in addition to City funds that have been committed we are approximately 50% towards our goal; staff are actively seeking sponsorships/donations to get us the rest of the way there.

100% of the funds raised will go toward physical improvements to Creedmoor Memorial Park; not for planning, design, or salaries. Your support will be matched with City funds, grants, and sponsorships to rehabilitate B.C. Roberts Field; allowing Creedmoor Parks and Recreation to provide opportunities for youth/adult outdoor athletics and community events. Future projects will include a playground, shelter, garden, community space, and elements recognizing U.S. Armed Service Members.
