Big Idea #4 Create a Healthy Balance of Recreation Programs
Big Idea #4 Create a Healthy Balance of Recreation Programs
Only 23% of county residents have participated in the over 12,000 recreation programs the County has to offer. These include classes, camps, sports teams, and other activities the County offers. Other residents are either unaware of programs, do not have time, or do not feel that they are interesting. As the County grows, Mecklenburg Park and Rec will provide a diverse mix of offerings for all ages and abilities.
