Moratock Park plans add features
County officials excited over attractions that can link with others to draw more tourism
DANBURY (By Lisa O'Donnell, Winston-Salem Journal) - Moratock Park, a popular summertime spot for people who want to cool off in the Dan River, may be in for a makeover.
An updated park could include an amphitheater, a disc-golf course, an area for a farmer's market and a new walking trail. Those are just some of the features included in two preliminary plans that were presented to the public in late June.
The county-operated park is spread over 50 acres on two sides of Sheppard Mill Road in Danbury. As it is, the park includes a ball field, picnic tables and easy access to the river. It also is home to the Moratock Iron Furnace, a historic structure that dates to 1843. Many people know the park as a convenient place to end a tubing trip down the Dan.
