In February 2023 the Cape Carteret Board of Commissioners voted to form an advisory committee to complete the following objectives:
- identify desired park improvements at the Town’s existing parks, with an emphasis on the four non-waterfront parks (Community Park, Bahia Lane Park, Quailwood Park, and the park area on Taylor Notion Road in front of Public Works Building).
- identify neighborhood concerns and develop recommendations that will be supported by the neighborhood which any new park improvements would be installed
- identify any parcels of land that the Town should consider acquiring (with grant funding) for future park development

Committee Canvas Zones
Beginning in June 2023, the advisory committee will embark on collecting input from the Town of Cape Carteret’s citizens pertaining to the likes and dislikes about the different aspects of things included in a park. Committee members will be going door to door to meet with citizens and fill out a questionnaire that will later be used to develop the Town’s parks. The Town has been divided into eight zones for each of the committee’s members to collect the data throughout the Town.
| Zone Number | Zone Name | Committee Member Assigned |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bonita to Anita Forte | TBD |
