Help Build Clayton’s New Community Recreational Facility
WHAT: Community Open House
WHEN: 4 – 7 p.m., Wednesday, October 29
WHERE: Clayton Fitness Building
1370 Cameron Way,
Clayton, NC 27520
WHO: Free and open to the public
The Town of Clayton is inviting residents to share their ideas at a Community Open House for the new community recreation facility. The event will be held from 4 – 7 p.m., Wednesday, October 29, at the Clayton Fitness building (1370 Cameron Way). It is free and open to everyone.
Public input will help shape the future of the facility. At the Community Open House, residents can tour the building, speak with Town staff and elected officials, and share what they hope to see, value most, and want included in the space. Feedback from the community will guide planning and design decisions, making sure the final facility reflects local priorities and needs.
The Town recently purchased the Clayton Fitness property for $3 million as part of its effort to expand recreational opportunities. Plans call for a welcoming, intergenerational center that supports fitness, wellness, and social connection for residents of all ages. The project aligns with the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which identified a need for more space for intergenerational and senior-focused programs.
With the help of a $1 million state grant, the Town is working to bring the facility to life by June 2026, creating a lasting resource for the community to connect, stay active, and enjoy programs for years to come.
