Biltmore Hills Park

Use the main park and Community Center approach at 2615 Fitzgerald Drive. The seasonal pool has a separate address at 701 Crown Crossing Lane. Tennis construction expected to begin in August 2026 will close the lower lot and entrance and reconfigure accessible parking, so follow temporary signs and verify the active entrance before a sports visit.

Use 2615 Fitzgerald Drive for the Community Center, playground, basketball, tennis, walking trail, fields, and shelters. Use 701 Crown Crossing Lane specifically for Biltmore Hills Pool. During the 2026-27 tennis project, do not rely on the lower park entrance without checking posted construction routing.

Yes, the staffed Community Center provides indoor visitor facilities during center hours, and the seasonal pool has its own aquatic facilities when operating. Outdoor visitors should not assume indoor restrooms remain available after the Center closes; check at the front desk when arriving for a long field, court, or shelter visit.

Outdoor park space and ordinary amenities are generally open dawn to dusk. The Community Center is listed 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, and approximately 1-6 p.m. Sunday. Tennis lights can operate to 10 p.m. when courts are open; pool hours are separate and seasonal.

General park admission, parking, playground use, walking, outdoor basketball, and available first-come tennis are free. Community Center programs, room or gym rentals, athletic reservations, and seasonal pool admission may charge. Confirm costs through RecLink or the relevant facility rather than treating the whole campus as one ticketed attraction.

The renovated Community Center and paved developed routes provide the best current access. Shelter 1 is explicitly listed as lacking ADA access, and woodchips can complicate playground access. The tennis project will add accessible walks, parking, lighting, and viewing, but construction will temporarily alter routes through fall 2027.

The playground is designed for ages 2-12 and includes slides, swings, and climbing equipment over woodchip surfacing. It remains open under the City's current park notice. Bring wheels suitable for woodchips if using a stroller and contact the Center when a specific accessible play route is important.

The City currently says the park's existing tennis courts remain open, but construction closures are expected to begin on a still-unannounced date in August 2026. When open, eight courts have backboards and push-button lighting until 10 p.m. Check the bond-project FAQ or contact the Center before traveling specifically for tennis.

The upcoming project will close the existing tennis courts, lower parking lot and entrance, and small ballfield while eight new courts, accessible routes, parking, lighting, and large-field improvements are built. The large ballfield, basketball, pool, most shelters, playground, walking trail, and indoor Center programming are expected to continue, subject to changing work zones.

The current listing includes a lighted 190-foot youth baseball field and a lighted 300-foot softball field. The small field is planned for conversion into eight new tennis courts and will close during construction; the large field is expected to remain available while receiving new lighting, scoreboard, and later movable bases.

Yes, but the pool uses its own entrance at 701 Crown Crossing Lane rather than the Community Center address. It has a seasonal baby pool and main lap-and-recreation pool. Opening dates, daily hours, admission, swim lessons, and weather closures are controlled by Raleigh Aquatics and should be checked separately on the pool page.

Shelter 1 is nonreservable and first-come, with eight tables, no grill, capacity 36-60, and no ADA access. Shelter 2 is reservable for more than 100 people with 13 tables and two grills. Shelter 3 is reservable for 36-60 with eight tables and one grill. Paid reservations are not final until City confirmation.

Yes. A paved walking trail remains open for exercise and leisure walks under the current project notice. Construction may change the path near the lower lot, tennis complex, or ballfields, so follow barriers and temporary routing rather than crossing an active work zone to preserve a familiar loop.
