Transforming Recreation and Library Services: Windsor Chavis Nocho Community Complex There’s something exciting happening in East Greensboro at the corner of S. Benbow Rd. and E. Gate City Blvd. at the site of the old Windsor Recreation Center and Nocho Park – a very significant project that’s been in the works for the past several years. From the rubble of the recently demolished recreation center and park – the Windsor Chavis Nocho Community Complex (WCNCC) is becoming a reality. A collaboration between the City of Greensboro – specifically Greensboro Parks and Recreation and the Greensboro Public Library, the new WCNCC will visibly take shape later in 2025 and through 2026 with a building pad to be laid by the end of the year. Once the 65,000 sq. ft. facility is completed in 2027, residents of all ages from the surrounding area and across Greensboro will have an innovative community hub to come together to learn, play, and access City and County services. Guilford County and Cone Health are also investing in the project, to the tune of $15 million and $5 million, respectively; and will be active programming partners at WCNCC. In addition to recreation opportunities and library services, Guilford County’s Public Health, Cooperative Extension, Social Services, and Nutrition Services will provide programming and access to support services including Medicaid, Food and Nutrition Services (FNS), and Women, Infants, and Children services (WIC). “The future of highly successful community services and programming will be rooted in multi agency collaboration,” stated Brigitte Blanton, Executive Director of the Greensboro Public Library and Museum Department. “WCNCC serves as an exceptional model for collaboration between City and County departments locally and beyond, and through its design and programming will attract and serve residents without the silos and barriers traditionally found in government.”
