Mecklenburg About To Build First Ever ‘Adventure Park’ On 114-Acre Huntersville Property

6646

Mecklenburg County is advancing plans for a 114-acre “adventure park” in Huntersville. Eastfield Park, located off Eastfield Road, will focus on nature preservation, featuring wildlife viewing areas and protected spaces.

Set to be the county’s first adventure park, it will include a Beech Valley canopy walk, children’s adventure course, dog park, community hub, and 3.75 miles of trails. With abundant canopy trees, streams, and rolling terrain, the park is designed to offer diverse outdoor experiences.

The county purchased the property in 2000, and the first phase of development was identified in the 2008 Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The park’s final design was shaped by community input, prioritizing access, education, and recreation.

Phase 1 design documentation is underway, with construction expected to begin in 2026. You can find out more about Eastfield Park on the county’s website here.
