Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina is now accepting public input on the Oak Hill Community Park and Forest master plan.

Destination by Design prepared an initial draft of the conceptual master plan for the park using recommendations from a steering committee of local stakeholders and Foothills Conservancy staff. In this draft plan, concept maps of the property show potential areas for public access, parking and trailhead locations, walking and mountain biking trails, a community event center, an outdoor education area, agricultural fields, an area for historic discovery and sites to be used for camping.

Following the public feedback period, Destination by Design will use this input to create and present a final draft of the park master plan to Foothills Conservancy.

To submit feedback and to view a slideshow of the recorded master plan presentation, visit foothillsconservancy.org/masterplan. The deadline to submit feedback is Friday, March 26.
