New Center City Parks
Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation will host a series of three community workshops to hear comments from citizens about the vision and design of two new parks in uptown Charlotte: New West Park and Second Ward Park.
NEW WEST PARK: This workshop will be held at 6pm, Monday, August 13, 2007 at Johnson & Wales University’s Hance Auditorium , 801 West Trade Street. New West Park is now envisioned on a 5.2 acre site is bounded by Mint Street, Church Street, Martin Luther King Boulevard and Third Street. This is a new site expected to be available after the much publicized “land swap” to provide a site for an uptown baseball stadium. Mecklenburg County has $9-million dollars in bond funds to design and build this park.
SECOND WARD PARK: The site for this park would also come from the proposed land swap for the baseball stadium. Second Ward Park will be developed on part of the current site of Marshall Park and of the CMS Education Center. The County has allocated $6 million dollars to develop this park. It will be approximately 3.9 acres and will incorporate the old Second Ward School Gymnasium.
A series of three workshops will be held at 6pm at Johnson & Wales University’s Hance Auditorium, 801 West Trade Street on each of the following evenings:
