Skate Park and Pump Track

Skate Park and Pump Track coming to Wake Forest

The site is 8.3 acres next to Devon Square and E. Carroll Joyner Park, off 701 Harris Road in Wake Forest. Plans include a skate park, pump track, basketball courts, fitness court, pavilion, restrooms, lighting and a road extension connecting with the Joyner Park Community Center.

The Town of Wake Forest is set to begin construction on the new skate park & pump track in Feb. 2027. The park will complement the nearby Joyner Park, neighborhoods and commericial areas.

A pump track is a continuous loop of rollers (bumps) and berms (banked turns) designed for wheeled sports. Riders generate momentum through up-and-down body movements (pumping) instead of pedaling, making it accessible for bikes, skateboards, and scooters.The skate park is being designed as a competition- and tournament-style facility with spectator seating, hook-ups for food trucks, and additional parking to accommodate larger events.

Why buyers should care: This is an additional recreational amenity that could appeal to many different types of buyers. For homes nearby, assess proposed parking access, lighting and potential activity levels without assuming adverse impacts.
