The park, featuring a skywalk, play areas, and community spaces, was commemorated by artist Daniel Nelson, who painted a portrait of the park's pavilion.

Hurricanes' Helmet Style Leads to League-Wide Change in NHL
The Carolina Hurricanes' fashion choice of red helmets with white jerseys on the road, first seen in December 2022, has influenced the NHL's decision to allow colored helmets with road jerseys. The Hurricanes will wear white helmets on specific dates and black helmets for three games during the 2023 season, coinciding with Toronto's St. Patrick's Day jersey event.
