The Town of Pittsville has embarked on an ambitious program to revamp and improve the PITTSVILLE PARK located between Railroad Avenue & Pearl Street (where the pavilion is located). The Town has applied for 2 state grants, one already approved to install new playground equipment (Phase II) and pursuing another grant to complete the playground park equipment phase of the renovation (Phase III).

The Town Commissioners are very excited and happy to be able to provide new and “more inclusive” playground equipment for our citizens utilizing the park. In the future with the new Community Parks/Recreation/Events Committee now appointed additional improvements and enhancements will be considered for the PITTSVILLE PARK. Anyone interested in obtaining additional information is welcomed to contact the TOWN MANAGER for assistance.

Brian Lewis of Cunningham Recreation, the Town’s contractor for the projects will be attending the next Town Meeting on December 19, 2022 to brief the Town Commissioners on the park projects progress.
