Bingham Park Cleanup Finally Moves Forward

Bingham Park in Greensboro, North Carolina, has been off-limits for years due to an old landfill beneath it — a problem discovered 16 years ago. After years of community pressure, the city took over cleanup in 2021, aiming to fix it without disrupting residents. With a $50 million total cost broken into five phases — Phase One alone costing $17 million — neighbors insist health and safety are priceless, demanding full remediation regardless of price. Phase One is set to begin in October or November 2024, wrapping up by February 2028 — a slow but crucial step toward a safer, reopened park.
