The mission of Center City Park is to serve as a central gathering place for Greensboro’s residents and visitors in a setting that is both relaxed and lively.

The 1.9-acre park opened in December of 2006 after four years of planning and construction.  Located in the heart of downtown Greensboro, it fills the block between North Elm and North Davie Streets, bordered on the south by West Friendly Avenue and on the north by the Renaissance Tower office building.  Its central location compliments and builds on the strengths of the nearby cultural and recreational facilities in the Greensboro Cultural Center, Greensboro Historical Museum, and YWCA.

Center City Park incorporates themes and details inherent to Greensboro’s history and culture and is designed to represent our city as an open and welcoming place of diverse people.  The support of and use of local artists in the park’s art features is an important part of that statement.
