BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The Madison-Mayodan Parks & Recreation Master Plan “Moving Together” serves as the primary planning document for enhancing and expanding parks and recreation opportunities in the Towns of Madison and Mayodan. This chapter summarizes the foundation and intent of this work, and provides insight on the plan purpose, goals, process, and overall organization.

Background and Purpose

1.1

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Madison-Mayodan Recreation Commission serves the communities of Madison and Mayodan by facilitating a variety of recreational opportunities that enhance quality of life and promote a healthy, active lifestyle for all participants. Established over 40 years ago, the Commission was created through an inter-local agreement between the Towns of Mayodan and Madison, forming North Carolina’s first merged parks and recreation department. Department staff provide citizens and visitors with important services that include athletic and outdoor recreational programming and facility management.

The Towns have a rich history of agriculture that centered on cotton and tobacco. Both towns experienced growth in the mid to late 1800s as cotton mills and tobacco factories became established. The Mayo and Dan Rivers also played an important role for the towns as they were used for trade. The primary industry transitioned to textiles in the mid-1900s. Both Madison and Mayodan also feature historic downtown shopping districts.

Madison and Mayodan recognize the significance of their valuable assets and location and are committed to developing a vibrant outdoor recreation economy in western Rockingham County. The recent development of trails, river accesses, and parks within the towns reflects their commitment to improving recreational opportunities for both community members and visitors. Moving Together Madison-Mayodan casts a vision for parks and recreation that supports and enhances quality of life, increases accessibility and connectivity for people of all ages and abilities, and drives economic growth.

The Towns feature a diverse range of natural, cultural, historical, and recreational assets. Their proximity to Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point in the Piedmont Triad, and the smaller cities of Reidsville, Eden, and Martinsville, combined with access to the Dan and Mayo Rivers, places them in a unique location that could serve as a regional hub for outdoor recreation.

REGIONAL CONTEXT

This section examines the Towns of Madison and Mayodan in relation to the local geography, transportation corridors, and natural resources.

Geography

Transportation Corridors

The Towns of Madison and Mayodan are located in western Rockingham County which is found in the northern Piedmont Region of North Carolina. The County is bordered on the north by Virginia and to the south by the larger urban centers of WinstonSalem and Greensboro. The towns are part of the Greensboro-High Point Metropolitan Statistical Area of the Piedmont Triad metro region and are located within 30 miles of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point, NC, as well as Martinsville and Danville, VA. The region is primarily characterized by low density rural development with small rural communities found to the east, west, and north.

The incorporated municipalities of Eden, Stoneville, Reidsville, and Wentworth are also included within Rockingham County.

US Highway 220 is the primary north-south transportation corridor that runs just east of Madison and Mayodan. The route connects the area with Martinsville, Greensboro, and the east-west Interstate transportation arteries in the Piedmont Triad. US Highway 311 and NC Highway 704 are the primary east-west transportation corridors that pass through the towns. Business US 220 provides a direct connection between Madison and Mayodan and passes through the downtowns of both. A Norfolk Southern railroad parallels the Dan and Mayo Rivers through the town limits.

The towns are adjacent to each other with Mayodan lying to the north and Madison to the south. The Mayo River forms the approximate boundary of the two towns to the east and the Dan River serves as the southern boundary of Madison. Along with the Town of Stoneville, the area is commonly referred to as “West Rock”.

Natural Resources The Mayo and Dan Rivers are the primary streams found in the area. The Mayo River runs north to south and the Dan River runs east to west before joining at the eastern town limits of Madison. The Dan River continues eastward and northward towards the state line between Virginia and North Carolina. Big Beaver Island Creek flows along the western boundary of Madison before joining the Dan River on the town’s southern boundary.

Mayo River State Park, located north of Mayodan along the Mayo River, protects approximately 2,775 acres in North Carolina. Approximately 630 acres lie adjacent to the North Carolina State Park in Virginia and are protected by Virginia State Parks. The State Parks provide access points to the Mayo River for paddlers and trails on adjacent lands for hikers and passive recreation. The North Carolina Mayo River State Park also manages properties within the Madison and Mayodan town limits next to the river.

Additional public lands managed by Piedmont Land Conservancy, Rockingham County, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, and NC State Parks are located within 30 miles of Madison and Mayodan at Knight Brown Nature Preserve, Hogan’s Creek Park, Dan River Game Lands, and Hanging Rock State Park.

The Madison-Mayodan Parks & Recreation Master Plan - “Moving Together” planning process was introduced to the public through a project website which included information about plan goals, purpose, and process. It also provided a link to an online survey where citizens could share input on the recreational needs of the community. See 3.3 Community Survey on pgs. 40-41 for a summary of key results. A project fact sheet was developed to further inform stakeholders, elected officials, and community members. It included the information found on the website in a printable one-page format that could be distributed via email and in person.

A project oversight committee that included representatives from the Madison-Mayodan Recreation Commission, local governments, non-profits, schools, tourism, and community led the planning process. A kick-off meeting, preliminary recommendations review, and final recommendations presentation engaged the committee throughout the process.

Interviews were conducted with key stakeholders and focus groups were organized by theme including outdoor recreation, seniors, youth, and small/large business to gather additional input. A public drop-in meeting was held to offer local community members an opportunity to offer feedback on final recommendations.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

A variety of community partners were engaged in the planning process through the project oversight committee, interviews, and focus groups. These community partners offered broad insight into key community opportunities and constraints based on the stakeholders and user groups they represented.

In addition to survey results, input from the community partners helped establish the foundation for the overall project vision and preliminary recommendations. The project oversight committee provided valuable input on both to create final recommendations for community review and feedback.

GREENWAYS & TRAILS

An extensive greenway and trail network that links the area’s existing and developing recreational assets and provides a variety of experiences will serve multiple purposes for community members and residents. Trail types may vary depending on location and expected use. Landowner engagement will be critical for some proposed routes. This section outlines five (5) proposed greenways or trail routes including: 1) Mayo River Greenway, 2) Dan River Greenway, 3) Big Beaver Island Creek Greenway, 4) Connector Trails, and 5) Mayo River State Park - Madison trail development. See Map 02, page right.

1.1 MAYO RIVER GREENWAY The Mayo River Greenway connects Mayo River State Park - Mayo Mountain Access to the planned park and river access at the 704 bridge. The proposed alignment for this greenway is on the west side of the river. The Mayo River Greenway will transition to the Dan River Greenway at the confluence of the Mayo and Dan Rivers. A greenway connection study was completed in 2024 by Alta Planning + Design that examined connectivity between the towns of Madison and Mayodan and Mayo River State Park. See Exhibit 01 on page 51.

1.1.1 Mayo River State Park - Mayo Mountain Access to Madison Mayodan Recreation Center Approximate Distance: 1.9 miles This greenway segment will connect the entrance of Mayo River State Park - Mayo Mountain Access to the Madison-Mayodan Recreation Center. A portion of this segment from the state park to East Jackson Street in Mayodan is currently identified in the State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) as EB-5891 Multi-Use Path. From Jackson Street, pedestrians can use the existing sidewalk on Second Avenue, and bikes can be routed toward First Avenue.

The implementation summary matrix also provides project priority recommendations and an estimated probable cost range.

Plan implementation

5.1

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS OUTDOOR RECREATION

The project recommendations outlined in this plan cast a 10-year vision for the future of parks and recreation in the Towns of Madison and Mayodan. The following general recommendations outline broad actions the Towns and Recreation Commission can take towards implementing Moving Together - MadisonMayodan Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

The Towns of Madison and Mayodan recognize their natural resources as valuable assets that can be leveraged to create recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. Continued enhancement and development of outdoor recreation infrastructure to create unique regional opportunities will promote local use and tourism.

MAINTENANCE

PARTNERSHIPS

The Madison-Mayodan Recreation Commission and local government partners must continue to maintain existing neighborhood parks. Ongoing maintenance is necessary to make sure these parks don’t fall into disrepair. Neighborhood parks represent an important asset to local residents.

Plan implementation will require cooperation and continued partnerships between local and state government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the Madison-Mayodan Recreation Commission. Expansion and enhancement of existing parks and recreation facilities will require additional staff and funding for development, maintenance, and management of the parks. A dedicated staff member focused on implementation of this plan will increase the chances of success.

EXHIBIT 10: GRANT OPPORTUNITIES

Many federal, state, local, and foundation grants have a recreation, tourism, environmental, or health and wellness focus. (See Exhibit 10: Funding Opportunities below.) Most project recommendations in this plan address multiple focus areas. Partners should develop a grant procurement strategy that leverages grants to complement and amplify each other maximizing the value of local matching dollars.

Camping. But wherever there’s camping there has to be some additional draw for the whole family (volleyball nets, shuffle board, nice putt putt just to name some ideas)

8/6/2024 9:51 AM

53

Pool accessibility for all (not exclusive membership). With all the natural bodies of water in Rock Co., swim lessons and water safety education should be essential and available for all citizens here. Also, more/improved golf facilities. Upgraded putt-putt would be attractive to all ages. Bowling would be nice, too.

8/6/2024 9:46 AM

54

I have to travel to Eden, Winston Salem or Greensboro if I want my daughter to go swimming or enjoy a splash pad. Based upon the lower income housing in the towns of Madison and Mayodan our children lack adequate opportunity in their own town to experience things that other children get to experience. Imagine the traffic a pool or splash pad would bring to our towns.

We need a better more accessible facility that includes a swimming pool and multiple gym areas with a bigger and more updated fitness room area. We need something like the YMCA in bigger areas that give our residents and children more options and keep them active.

Summer camps that go past 12-2pm, parents work past 5pm. Open gym during the week and weekends that give kids more opportunities to access it. Again, the hours are an issue for parents working until 5pm.

I believe the town of Madison and Mayodan is truly missing the core of today’s generation. I believe they are solely focused on s enior citizens. It has driven our youth away to different cities Eden, Reidsville, Wentworth Bethany we need something strong here in Madison may and to continue to guide and structure our youth and have somewhere for them to go to play football and play basketball and have classes and different workshops for them to promote sports so we can ultimately try and improve our middle and high schools and our general area

The office staff and senior director are not vary friendly or helpful at all at the Rec Center. The senior director does not even speak to people. Her assistant is not pleasant either. They have low participation in the activities that they do try to start because of this. Also, when they plan trips, they contact their select few before they are posted for everyone, so everyone does not have the same chance to go. It would be nice if they would recruit more seniors. Everyone is not on facebook so they need another way to let people know what is going on.

You guys do a great job. Especially love how much emphasis/ opportunities there are for the retired population- keeps my mom and her friends pretty busy and active!! Love the things going on at Elliot Duncan park. Music food trucks etc.. consider volley ball net here? I really think we have big missed opportunities at Ferris park!

8/6/2024 9:51 AM

We do appreciate the availability of what is offered and realize the recreation department has made huge strides in improvements in recent years. Keep growing!

Provide additional "finished" river access (ie. pave/ramp 220 business access). Install a paved portage at Avalon Dam.

Overall, I see a fairly adequate recreational program for the two towns. It is important to keep current with these programs and facilities as we move into the future.

My husband & I moved to Madison 4 years ago and I was very impressed with all the town offers for adult organized sports and recreational activities. We now have a 2 year old and I’m excited for her to get involved in everything offered for the younger kids!

The MM Rec manager does a remarkable job with the limited resources.

7/9/2024 9:39 PM

There is so much potential for growth and so many missed opportunities it seems! There is a large area where Tultex used to be that can and should be utilized and it’s not. It could be a direct extension of the rec department! Create more space, more courts and fields, more parking, and more access all around. Create camps, activities, and programs that draw people to the area. More people that utilize the facilities and enroll in programs, the more revenue that’s created WITHIN our community instead of people always having to travel to Greensboro and further because there’s nothing that caters to what’s actually needed in Madison/Mayodan.

Growing also creates more jobs for the community. The rec department has always seemed to cater more toward senior activities and while that’s important and they deserve to be active and have options as well, there isn’t as much as there can and should be for the youth. The youth is NOW. The youth are the future. The youth are our future wildcats and Phoenix. Aren’t y’all tired of losing to Reidsville year after year? Growing the rec center and providing more opportunities and access to camps, training, well equipped gyms, courts, fields, etc. can very well increase our chances of cultivating champions. Stop being so small minded because we’re a small town. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, so take a leap of faith already.

Please continue to work on the sports aspect for the youth here in Madison Mayodan. They do not have anywhere where they can go and have people welcome them anytime with basketball and different other sports. We need to put our youth first that is our future.

As a teacher, we would love to have more educational opportunities for the kids (field trips).

7/9/2024 9:04 AM

I suggest you start a building fund for M&M Rec, and promote memorials, honorariums, and planned giving. Most obituaries offer a memorial opportunity. A fund to replace your building, perhaps with an indoor pool, would be an attractive alternative for memorial giving.

6/19/2024 11:40 AM

43

I think in our parks, we need to be more open about what constitutes "recreation". Kids, and all of us, splashing around in Beaver Island Creek, or shooting hoops at Idol Park, or hanging around in the Mayodan Gazebo, need more places to do that kind of thing in their/our own neighborhoods

If an area on the river could be developed for swimming as a beach for families to use it could also provide economic opportunity for local businesses as people from outside of the area came in to use the facilities.

Renovate the Madison-Mayodan Recreation Department to include more gym space, multisport courts, updated lockrooms/bathrooms, offices, and programming/event space. Stokesdale has just recently added a multisport court to their downtown. This could be replicated in both Madison and Mayodan. Splash pad at Elliot Duncan Park.
