The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDNCR) was awarded a $1,000,000 federal grant under the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916) administered by the National Park Service. The grant will be used to renovate Sunset Park, an iconic public park in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The comprehensive renovation project includes upgrading the existing recreation amenities such as the carousel, miniature train, park buildings, playgrounds, sports courts, and creating new natural surface trails, observation areas, and river access. This project will benefit the citizens of Rocky Mount and the surrounding region by improving and enhancing Sunset Park, which has served as a cornerstone of public recreation since the 1940s.
