Hands On Charlotte and Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation are teaming up to build an 11.5 acre park in the Lincoln Heights community.  The long term plan for park development involves Park and Recreation supplying the land and the community pitching in for development.   The Hands on Charlotte – Park and Rec collaboration represents the first of such efforts.  Hands on Charlotte will be recruiting volunteers and accepting donations. Visit http://www.handsoncharlotte.org to make a donation.   Read the full story from the Charlotte Observer here.

Partners for Parks is run entirely by volunteers. Members serve on our Executive Board and Committees, help put on special events, work on projects and grants, advocacy, etc. Some volunteer opportunities are ongoing, others are for an hour or a day. Whatever your skills and interests are, we can probably find a way to plug you in. Please email info@partnersforparks.org if you’re interested in volunteering with us.
