Investing in our community’s parks and recreational spaces, first and foremost enhances the quality of life for our residents, and also plays a vital role in stimulating local economic growth. Enhanced parks promote tourism and attract new businesses by providing recreational facilities for families and visitors to enjoy.

Well-maintained parks contribute to a healthier lifestyle as well as outdoor activities that benefit youth and adults alike in both their physical and mental well-being. Our community thrives when we have vibrant public spaces that encourage social interaction and strengthen neighborhood ties. This park bond represents an opportunity for us to invest in the future of the Lake Norman area to ensure that our parks are equipped to meet the needs of our growing population. By supporting the bond referendum, we are choosing to build a stronger, more connected community for all residents.”
