Huntersville Parks & Recreation

National Parks and Recreation Month - The Power of Connection
Connection happens in countless ways through Parks and Recreation.
It starts with a morning walk that turns strangers into friends. It grows through laughter and play as children and families gather for free community programs. And it strengthens as we bring residents, local organizations, and community partners together to create opportunities that make Huntersville feel like home.
Every park, program, and event is an opportunity to build relationships, create memories, and strengthen our community.
This July, we're celebrating The Power of Connection and the people, places, and experiences that bring us together.

We're sad to say Movies in the Park tonight is canceled due to rain. We will be rescheduling, so keep following along on our social pages so you see when we post the new date.

Happy Camp Counselor Appreciation Day!

Summer camp isn't always easy. It's hot, sweaty, and full of surprises, but with the best camp counselors, it's also filled with laughter, friendships, growth, excitement, and new adventures.

Our counselors show up each day with energy, patience, and a passion for making every camper feel welcome, supported, and ready to create lasting memories. Whether they're leading games, encouraging new skills, or simply sharing a smile, they help turn long summer days into unforgettable experiences.

Thank you to all of our incredible Summer Camp Counselors for choosing to spread joy, inspire confidence, and make this summer one to remember. We appreciate everything you do!

Take inspiration from Mabel and touch some grass at Richard Barry Park on July 10 while you watch this hilarious family-friendly movie.
If you don't want to actually touch the grass while you watch the movie, bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket.

The movie will start at dusk. Arrive early to enjoy games, raffles, and free popcorn.
Movies in the Park is sponsored by WSIC News Talk and Community and Novant Health.

July is National Parks and Recreation Month! 🌳🎉
This year's theme, "The Power Of...", celebrates the many ways parks and recreation bring our community together through play, nature, belonging, wellness, and the dedicated people who make these experiences possible.

This Google review for Holbrook Park perfectly captures the power of parks. It's a wonderful reminder that parks are more than just places to visit—they're spaces where families connect, friendships grow, memories are made, and communities thrive.

Thank you to everyone who shares their experiences and helps tell the story of why parks and recreation matter. Your support inspires us to continue creating places that make a positive impact on our community every day.
