fter breaking ground October 29, 2021, construction of Waxhaw’s new Downtown Park is nearing completion and is planned to open Spring 2024. Identified as one of the top priorities in Waxhaw’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the 9.9-acre park is located on the south side of downtown and only two blocks from South Main Street (Hwy. 75). It can easily be accessed from Lynn St. and Brevard St. Featuring an amphitheater, picnic pods, outdoor fitness equipment, bicycle pump track, interactive water feature, and naturethemed playgrounds, the Downtown Park will serve as a vibrant civic function where residents and visitors can gather. It is one of the most inclusively designed parks for
people of all ages and abilities, in the region.
Art Sculpture and Enrichment ____________________________________
The Parks and Recreation Department is planning on providing educational and family events as well as health and wellness activities.
Fitness Area ____________________________________
This new outdoor recreation facility integrates art and culture into its design. As you wander through the park, you’ll encounter a sculpture consisting of six metal feathers. This stunning piece, titled “Spirit of Nature”, not only adds visual appeal but represents the Native American heritage of Waxhaw. Until the official grand-opening of Waxhaw Downtown Park, this location remains an active construction site. Therefore, in the interest of safety, community members are to remain outside of the Park area.
