Parks Build Community — In So Many Ways

October 1, 2014, Feature, by Jimmy O'Connor

Thanks to the sponsors of the Parks Build Community project at Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Park, the 2014 NRPA Congress will be leaving behind a fantastic new park in Charlotte, North Carolina. Come see for yourself on Thursday, October 16, just how this park is helping to build community in this underserved Charlotte neighborhood! To get there, catch a shuttle to the park dedication from the E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. entrance of the Charlotte Convention Center at 9:40 a.m.
