The CIP’s Parks section shows several small-to-mid-sized water‑access and recreation projects: Nature Preserve Park Pier at 300610 (CIF funded), Armour Street Park Pier at 323725 (CIF and Duke grant funded), and Parham Park Accessible Kayak Launch at 550000 (GO bonds and CIF with a 300000 Duke grant). These projects involve design and construction of piers, boardwalks, and accessible water‑access structures, with prior estimates and partial grant commitments already in place. Although Duke Energy grants and GO bond proceeds are identified, the documents do not list selected design firms or contractors for these specific projects, and some earlier estimates note the need to finalize design and permitting with agencies such as FERC.Park designers, marine and boardwalk contractors, and accessibility specialists can engage Parks and Recreation staff now to help refine concepts, address permitting hurdles, and prepare competitive proposals when the town advances each project from CIP line to active procurement.

A Duke Power grant from 2019 is specifically tied to Nature Preserve/Armour Street pier work, and the town can spend up to 56990 from that committed fund balance, indicating grant compliance requirements.
