HomeAboutThe Park Ahead
A Partnership We Are Pursuing

Two Plans.
One Place.

Meadowbrook's next chapter — the Town's park, and the museum FOMGC is working to bring to it.

In 2016 the Town of Garner purchased the 121-acre Meadowbrook site. FOMGC is pursuing a formal Partnership Agreement with the Town — which we hope to see executed in 2026 — to restore the historic clubhouse as a Museum and Event Center.

The Two Plans

One place, two restorations.

The Town of Garner is rebuilding the park. FOMGC aspires to restore the clubhouse alongside it — together, the two plans would finish what was paused in 2010.

In 2016 the Town of Garner purchased the 121-acre Meadowbrook site. The McAdams master plan restores the grounds as a public park, with final phases funded in the FY2029 capital plan.

Phase 1A (dam breach and pond drainage) completed September 2024. Design work resumed under McAdams in October 2025.

FOMGC's Plan

Museum & Event Center · Anchor Initiative

FOMGC is pursuing a formal Partnership Agreement with the Town — which we hope to see executed in 2026 — to restore the historic clubhouse as a Museum and Event Center.

The archive, the memorial, and the oral histories must be ready before the park opens. That is the race we are running.

Proposed Restoration Focus
I

Clubhouse Museum & Event Center

Anchor

Restore the historic clubhouse as the Meadowbrook Museum and Event Center — FOMGC’s anchor commitment.

II

Driving Range

Restore the historic Meadowbrook driving range for public use.

III

Golf Course Greens

Return the greens to playable condition as part of the restored grounds.

In December 2020, consultants presented the Town of Garner's conceptual plans to the public. The full presentation — site layout, phasing, and design intent — is preserved here.

Where you fit in

The park is being built. The archive is a race against time.

FOMGC's preservation work — the archive, the memorial, and the oral histories — must be completed before the park opens. Your support funds that work.
