Durham voters will decide on $200 million in bonds for Parks & Recreation and Streets, Sidewalks
DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- Durham voters are getting a look for a new water park that could go in the Merrick-Moore Park if voters approve referendum items on the upcoming November ballot.
There will be two questions on the ballot that would fund several projections. The City of Durham is asking for $200 million.
The proposed water park, including a lazy rink and water slide, would go by the old Wheels Roller Rink. More than $40 million would be spent on this project.
The city is also looking to install a new pool, play areas, and athletic fields at Long Meadows Park.
