Hendersonville Project to Restore Brooklyn Creek

Hendersonville -- April 2024: The City of Hendersonville’s project to restore Brooklyn Creek will kick off construction later this month.

Sullivan Park visitors will soon witness the transformation of Brooklyn Creek into a haven of biodiversity and natural beauty.

The stream restoration project encompasses a comprehensive restoration plan, including habitat enhancement, water quality improvements, and the revitalization of the surrounding ecosystem. Native plantings, channel improvements, and sustainable landscaping techniques will be employed to create a balanced and thriving environment.

The construction is scheduled to begin around April 10th; however, the park will remain open to visitors. Several small impacts are anticipated during the construction including closing the footbridge over the stream and temporarily relocating birdhouses along the edge of the stream buffer. The construction areas will be fenced off to ensure a safe environment for the contractor and park users.
