Blackwood Farm Park is a 152-acre regional park between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough on NC 86 and New Hope Church Road. The park opened on a limited basis in June 2015 and is currently open Thursday-Sunday. Phase 2 of the park is nearing completion and should be open in April 2023, including construction of new infrastructure and turn lanes, entryway and parking, new picnic shelter, restrooms, amphitheater, repairs and renovations to the farmstead, and park ranger station. Once opened, the park is projected to move to a seven day per week schedule. Planning and design for a disc golf course is currently underway and may be completed in 2024. Farmstead repairs are also underway and continuing, including the historic farmhouse, which will become part of the park amenities. Funding of $775,000 in FY2023-24 includes Phase 3 park construction including the New Hope Church Road overlook and an additional picnic shelter/barn that will double as an outdoor classroom and farm implement storage as a bridge to the future Nature Center. As of May 5, 2023, this project is included in Orange County's FY 2023-33 CIP and funding is allocated for FY 2023-24. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
