First Park for Historic Princeville, NC

The town is the first in the nation to be incorporated by freed slaves after the CivilWar.

11 acres of a former mobile-home park, destroyed by Hurricane Floyd in 1999, was developed as the Riverside Heritage Park, which will contain playgrounds, picnic areas, sports fields and a community center.

TPL helped the town apply for a grant from The Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation, which matched funds for the project from the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund.
