FALCON PARK

Next up on our Parks & Rec Month highlights, one of Fuquay-Varina’s oldest parks, Falcon Park, sits on 5 acres of multi-purpose land. Back in the day, the population was little so there were no family gathering places which meant no place for kids to gather outside and play. Town residents took action in the 1950’s by organizing and raising enough money to fund the towns first park, Falcon Park, opening in 1953! Since opening, Falcon Park has received numerous updates including the most recent a few years back which gave much-needed new life to the playground and the buildings at Falcon Park.

Features to enjoy:

We are still seeing low inventories across our market; however, we are beginning to see a more balanced market, and even a slight buyer’s market at higher price points and with some new construction. Keep in mind, often new construction is listed at time of permit, so our “Active” numbers are a little skewed as “active” does not necessarily mean “available” for quite some time. Price/square foot has decreased over the last year due to an increase in new construction inventory; re-sale homes are still highly competitive as they are usually on larger lots and ready for immediate move-in.

I believe our local housing market is going to continue to be robust despite rising rates. We still have such a surplus of people moving into the entire Triangle area. Buyers right now are coming from all over the country in addition we always have local renters, empty nesters, and growing families staying locally in Fuquay-Varina.

Get out and about this summer and explore the history of our town of Fuquay-Varina! What better way to celebrate the Year of the Trail AND National Parks and Recreation Month than by strolling some of Fuquay’s beautiful parks?

FIRST PARK UP?

Ashworth Park, home to significant historical Town treasures while boasting a  beautiful shaded, landscaped park area. Around the park find an original tobacco barn, a playhouse from the Johnson House, a caboose, and the sculpture Ghost Farmers! There is much to learn as you walk around the park area.

HISTORY BEHIND THE PARK –

Ashworth Park is the original home place of Rufus and Cornelia Ashworth, who married on January 12, 1918 during World War 1. The couple moved to Fuquay-Varina in 1922 and built their home at 112 Aiken Street around 1927 and expanded it over the years to accommodate their growing family. In 1937 Rufus opened his own clothing store, Ashworth’s Clothing, and operated it until his death in June of 1970. Cornelia continued to live in the Aiken Street home place until her death at the age of 97 on December 16, 1995. The generations of Ashworth’s that followed have contributed significantly to the Town of Fuquay-Varina making it a better community. Ashworth’s Clothing remains on Main Street in Fuquay-Varina. Ashworth Park was dedicated on October 8, 2014.
