Beech Bluff County Park is located on formerly agrarian land in a rapidly developing area of southeastern Wake County. The site plan maintains working fields along the highway, creates recreational areas in the middle ground, and establishes trailheads that access a mature forest and stream valley on the north half of the 300-acre site. The Park Center is perched at the edge of the forest, overlooking the stream below, and forms a trailhead. Access to a second trailhead is near a Playground Shelter that has a torqued roof that responds to the topography. A third structure, the Agricultural Building, provides shelter for programs and food preparation activities. All structures demonstrate passive and active sustainability strategies.
