Parks and recreation are noted for protecting wildlife habitats, maintaining water and air quality, preserving groundwater, and providing accessible and inclusive programs for all residents, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The department's work relies heavily on staff and volunteers. The theme for the year is 'The Power of Parks and Recreation,' emphasizing play, connection, and belonging.

Festival Street Design Project Kicks Off with Focus on Community Input
The Town Council received an overview of the Festival Street Design Project. This project aims to create a pedestrian-friendly street that can function normally for daily use but be intentionally closed off for festivals and events. The design will focus on the area between Center and Ballantyne Streets, with potential extensions to surrounding blocks and town hall property to create a unified feel. Key goals include enhancing pedestrian safety, creating a vibrant space for events, and integrating artistic elements. The process involves extensive community engagement, including stakeholder meetings, community meetings, an online survey, and a community prototyping event on August 21st where residents can help build temporary installations. The project is in the early concept design phase.
Holly Springs Adopts Up-to-12-Month Moratorium on Data Center Development Applications
The Town Council considered and adopted an ordinance establishing a temporary moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of development applications related to data centers. This moratorium is intended to allow staff to study the impacts of data centers on water consumption, energy demand, noise, compatibility with adjacent land uses, and transportation infrastructure. The Land Use Advisory Committee will conduct this study and provide recommendations. The moratorium is set for up to 12 months, with a potential to expire earlier if recommendations are finalized sooner. Several residents spoke in support of the moratorium, citing concerns about water usage, strain on the grid, noise pollution, and the potential for limited job creation for local residents. The council acknowledged the rapid changes in data center technology and the need for a thorough assessment.
