Burton Street Park Investments Survey
Burton Street Park Investments Survey
Asheville Parks & Recreation is collecting input from the Burton Street neighborhood on how to spend $500,000 on new, expanded, and/or updated recreation features in the park that surrounds Burton Street Community Center.
Currently, the park includes an open field, playground, basketball courts, community garden, mural of neighborhood founder E.W. Pearson, historic marker, and open space. Previous engagement sessions, surveys, and Burton Street Neighborhood Plans from 2010 and 2018 indicate multi-use open space, playground updates, basketball court resurfacing, parking improvements, and additional murals and public art in the vision for this vibrant park. This money has specifically been earmarked for exterior improvements. The City of Asheville is currently conducting a comprehensive facility study that includes the structural conditions of the community center building.
