About Our Team
The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division (we like to call ourselves PROS) is a talented team devoted to ensuring our parks are accessible and welcoming. We offer preservation, education, and recreation opportunities across our eight parks and three nature preserves (and GROWING!) 361 days a year. Our parks have never been more popular! We serve almost 2 million visitors annually and plan to open additional facilities in the future. Our community loves our parks (and so do we!). See for yourself at wakegov.com/parks. Our Mission: PROS preserves open space, promotes stewardship, and provides equitable and inclusive education and outdoor recreation for a diverse and growing community. The three nature preserves are open space properties opened for public enjoyment. The first preserve to open was Robertson Millpond Preserve in 2015 and second was Turnipseed Nature Preserve in 2018. Sandy Pines Preserve opened in the fall 2021. These preserves are minimally developed with gravel roads and parking lots, picnic tables, and ADA access to trails. Robertson Millpond Preserve is an 85-acre preserve featuring a one-mile paddling trail with both grassy and ADA dock launch sites, picnic tables, historic landmark with educational panels, and a 0.25 mile walking path / boardwalk with fishing access and nature educational panels. Turnipseed Nature Preserve is a 265-acre preserve with 2-4 miles of walking trails through a variety of unique habitats, picnic tables, open grassy playfield, wildlife viewing platform with binoculars, and a picturesque pedestrian bridge over a floodplain with benches.
