Visitor Center Renovation Begins
By Superintendent Joy Greenwood
I hope the beginning of the busy season is going well for everyone! Just a quick update and some exciting news. Signs of the upcoming visitor center renovation at Jockey’s Ridge State Park will be visible this month. Construction will begin June 1st, 2021. Only the visitor center will be closed. All other areas will be open.
The staff will be busy moving everything out of the visitor center through May 13th. Please excuse the mess!
The staff will continue to offer lots of wonderful programming at the pavilion and throughout the park while construction takes place. If anyone needs to speak with a ranger or staff member we will have an office located in the maintenance area/old office. Just stay to the right when entering the park and you’ll see the maintenance area on the right up the slight hill.
We anticipate the visitor center will be open again next spring for the 2022 season! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact the park at 252-441-7132. We hope to have a wonderful summer season!
