Funding for the additions to Winget Park were approved by Mecklenburg County voters in a Park Bond Referendum in 2008. However, the county postponed selling bonds due to the Great Recession. Most park capital projects were halted for five years. Due to inflation, new park additions may not include all facilities originally planned in 2008. The county is now building what it can afford.

It will take from four to six months to obtain permits and to receive, review, and approve bids. Construction should take about nine months. Estimated completion of the fields and other elements is September 2017.
