Providing opportunities for recreational activities and involvement are a priority for FCPR, and athletes, spectators and visitors will soon enjoy more amenities. Improvements are in store for several facilities and programs throughout Fayetteville and Cumberland County to enhance residents’ quality of life.

This summer, FCPR is looking forward to reopening the Lake Rim Aquatic Center not far from the site of the new Bill Crisp Senior Center.
Also on the horizon is the development of the sports complex in partnership with Fort Bragg. Each of these initiatives and projects has been carefully selected with the ultimate goal of making Fayetteville and Cumberland County a desirable place to live, work and play for residents of all ages.
