📣Learn More About Knightdale's 2026 Parks and Recreation Bond Referendum📣

On November 3, 2026, Knightdale residents will have a chance to vote on the Knightdale Parks and Recreation Bond Referendum. This bond would fund a world-class recreation complex with multiple gymnasiums, fitness studios, and multi-generational programming spaces that will impact all Knightdale residents. We encourage everyone to learn more about what’s proposed and make their voices heard.

The Town of Knightdale is committed to providing residents with clear and factual information so you can make an informed decision.

There are several ways you can get more information about the Parks and Recreation Bond Referendum. You can visit the official website at knightdalebond.com, look out for information tables at Town events with representatives who will help explain the referendum details, or send an email to [email protected], and a Town representative will get back to you to answer any questions you have.
