Your Partnership is Making A Difference

Partners for Parks set out in 2021 to make a very specific impact for equity and inclusion, and several events during the year brought us closer to our Vision that Parks Build Community. We are striving to activate local parks by bringing neighbors together in green spaces while working together to enrich their local parks and playgrounds. Your donations and sponsorships have made all the difference in making our Mission come alive, and we need your support more than ever as we continue our momentum! We know our communities have a new appreciation for the beauty and serenity they discovered in our local parks during the pandemic, and the need for equitable access to quality open space has never been so apparent. We are stepping up and we need your help. Parks and greenways are essential to our health and quality of life, and 2021 focused on sharing the wealth provided by open space in the Charlotte region. Partners for Parks:
  • Participated in the first Summerstock event in Camp Greene Park
  • Partnered with the Knight Foundation, Smart Growth America, City of Charlotte Urban Design Center, and MCP&R to build new partnerships focused on the West Side of Charlotte
  • Participated in and supported a backpack giveaway for students in West Charlotte
  • Worked with Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Association on restoration of their Community Garden
While we continue to reach out to bring more equity in our local parks, we are also partnering with Sustain Charlotte and The Carolina Thread Trail to advocate for more Greenways that will better connect our communities.

Let’s Celebrate Our Mission

Join our Annual Sponsors for a Spring Celebration as we celebrate our Mission to bring great parks and play to neighborhoods all across our community. We will share an “Insiders Tour” of the new Stevens Creek Nature Center and Preserve in Mint Hill at our Sponsor Celebration on Thursday, March 24, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. This beautiful new center, which opened conditionally during the pandemic, showcases the natural beauty of our local waterways in an aesthetic and educational way. You will feel like part of natural water ecosystems at this unique and FUN event just for our Sponsors!
