DIRECTOR
A letter from the Director
Theyearof2024hasbeenayearofsignificantchange,achievement and growth for the Hope Mills Parks and Recreation Department. To name a few significant milestones, the Town broke ground on Heritage Park with an anticipated grand opening in early fall; construction on Phase II of the Reid’s Journey Inclusive Play Complex began in early Spring, and will be completed by late summer. Architectural and engineering design has begun on a 97acre Town owned golf course that will transform the site into a new sports complex, complete with a new senior/ community center. In addition to improvements to facilities, Hope Mills Parks & Recreation has experienced a 30 percent growth in registration for youth athletics, recreational programming, special events and facilityrentals.
The exceptional quality of life in Hope Mills, which can arguably be attributed to the vast array of Parks and Recreation amenities and programs, has resulted in an increase housing demands, economic development, and partnerships. The Town’s popularity has allowed us to outpace other municipalities in the region in terms of population growth, construction. With population growth also comes the demand for infrastructure improvements, and the expanded need for amenities. The Hope Mills Parks and Recreation Department is poised to address the Town’s growth, the needs of our citizens, and continues to gauge the trends in leisure services.
The year 2025 will continue to usher in a fiscal year of community growth, and with growth comes the demand for new recreational services, programs, and park improvements. In anticipation of the new fiscal year, through this publication, the Hope Mills Parks and Recreation staff has prepared a comprehensive list of activities,programs,specialevents,andyouthathleticsforfall,winter,andearlyspring.Wesincerelyhopeyou willfindsomethingyoulikeandjoinusforawonderfulrecreationalexperience.

Future Projects
HERITAGE PARK
Phase 1
The Heritage Park Phase I focuses on overall site infrastructure improvements of the eastern side of Little Rockfish Creek. The restored flume, which is the main focal element of Phase I, consists of the historic preservation of the historic old mill flume, and the conversion of the flume to a stormwater control measure that will treat the new impervious surfaces constructed in the park. Phase 1 also includes the construction of a new driveway, restroom, parking lot, event lawn, and the preservation and placement of the floodgates as shade canopies over benches. Additionally, this project will also fund interpretive signs that will explain the history of the Town, the mill, and how the flume has been repurposed to treat stormwater and protect Little Rock Creek.
The centerpiece of this project will be the restoration of the flume walls and the conversion of the interior of the flume to a stormwater treatment device.
Stormwater from the new parking lot, driveway, and comfort station that will be constructed during Phase 1 of Heritage Park will be directed to the flume, which will be filtered and treated by the vegetation, sand, and stone that will be placed in the flume.
The total impervious surface that will be treated by the innovative stormwater control measure is 2.39 acres. Typically, sand filters do not include vegetation as part of the design and it is hoped that this project may become an example of how plantings can enhance both the aesthetics and treatment capabilities of a sand filter. The plantings around the perimeter of the flume will include pollinator-friendly native plants.
The central feature of Heritage Park, which is the stormwater management feature, promotes the sustainability of clean water through a uniquely designed drainage system that actively filters toxins present in stormwater before they inter into the nearby creek. The emphasis on sustainability and environmental stewardship makes Heritage Park a perfect candidate for grant funding.
