Knightdale Station Park Playground Renovation

Since opening in September 2013, the Knightdale Station Park Playground has been a beloved space for families, friends, and the community to gather, play, and create memories. Over the years, the wooden structures have provided endless fun, but they have now reached the end of their usable lifespan.

While our dedicated Knightdale staff have worked diligently to maintain safety, it’s time to renovate and reimagine the playground for future generations. This renovation will ensure a modern, safe, and exciting play space that continues to serve as a central hub for our community.

We understand the timing isn't ideal, and we would have loved to schedule the installation during a period of lower usage. However, playground equipment of this size and type takes months to be built, and the delivery timeline was not flexible.

In the meantime, we encourage everyone to enjoy the playgrounds at Harper Park and Mingo Creek Park while we work on upgrading the Knightdale Station Park playground.

Last week brought some noticeable additions and improvements that are sure to enhance both the safety and comfort of the space.
- Shade structures were installed throughout the playground, providing much-needed protection from the sun as warmer days approach
- A fully shaded swing set is now in place—perfect for families looking to enjoy playtime with a little extra comfort.
- Wire fencing has been added around the play area to improve safety and keep the space secure.
We’re also excited about the new silo and barn play features. While they may look like traditional metal structures, they’re actually made from durable composite plastic. It is a safer, kid-friendly material designed to withstand years of use and all types of weather.

Things are really coming together! This week, the slides, silo, and barn are really taking shape — bringing our farm-themed playground to life!
We’re also improving safety and access with additional fencing:
- wired fencing will be added to the existing fence near the pond
- new split rail fencing will be added along the parking lot side of the playground
In addition to new play features, we’re building more fun and peace of mind for families!
