Those who live, work or visit Waxhaw will soon have another greenspace option. The Town of Waxhaw has started work on establishing a 9.9 acre park in the heart of downtown. Located on the south side of downtown at 301 Givens Street, it’s only two blocks from South Main Street (Hwy. 75) and will be easily accessible from Lynn and Brevard. The new downtown park has been identified as a top priority in the towns Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). CIPs are very common in local government. They are plans that account for long-range infrastructure and equipment needs to serve and maintain public needs adequately. Waxhaw will utilize a five-year CIP. This plan will be reevaluated and re-adopted on an annual basis along with the operating budget. The park is expected to open in 2023 and will provide recreation, greenways, picnic pods, outdoor fitness equipment, bicycle pump track, interactive water feature, amphitheater, pavilion, and naturethemed playgrounds. The Parks and Recreation Department will provide educational and family events as well as health and wellness activities at the new park.
