The subject property owner and petitioner, TKC-Square Grooves, LLC, has proposed to donate a portion of Tax Parcel 053-161-01 and 053-221-06 (+/- 54.67 acres) for future greenway, public open space and tree canopy preservation required per their rezoning approval. The land is situated south of I-85 and west of I-485 in west Charlotte. The property is currently vacant and heavily wooded, adjacent to single-family home community of Westmoreland.
Park and Recreation staff envision a passive park on the property with access to future greenway. Potential amenities may include play areas, park shelters, and trails for hiking and biking that will connect residents with other nearby Park and Recreation properties at West Cove Park (unimproved) and Iswa Nature Preserve.
The donation is consistent with Park and Recreation’s Greenway Master Plan that calls for the addition of parkland, greenway and open space within the County. It is also consistent with the County’s Environmental Leadership Action Plan.
