Comprehensive Transportation Plan - March 2019

EXISTING CONDITIONS

Community Facilities The Town’s Parks, Recreation, & Cultural Resources Department maintains several greenways, parks, and facilities that offer outdoor and indoor recreation opportunities to Morrisville residents, listed in Table 2-2 . Crabtree Creek Nature Park is currently a multi-purpose field, but the Town of Morrisville has plans to develop it into a more substantial Nature Park in the future. Outside of Morrisville, but adjacent to the Town, are Lake Crabtree County Park and William B. Umstead State Park. There are three schools located within Morrisville: Morrisville Elementary, Sterling Montessori, and Cedar Fork Elementary. The combined enrollment for the three schools is 2,368 students. In addition to the existing facilities described above, there are two current projects in Morrisville that will add an elementary school and community college. The new primary school, Parkside Elementary, is currently in the design phase with anticipated occupancy in August 2019. Access to the new elementary school will be provided by Parkside Valley Drive.
