Join us for this free virtual event as we hear from Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation staff about their plans to provide more opportunities for residents to play in parks and stroll or bike on greenways. You’ll also hear from several community-based groups as they share the work they’re doing to support parks and nature preserves, park amenities, facilities, and greenway trails.  As always, we’ll host a Q&A session and talk about ways for YOU to get involved!

This event is co-hosted by Sustain Charlotte, Partners for Parks, and the Carolina Thread Trail.
