Weaver Park Improvements
Weaver Park Improvements
Project Overview
Since 2016, Weaver Park has been undergoing significant updates, including upgraded dual-lined courts, modernized ballfields, and a new playground. The addition of a new pedestrian bridge also improves overall accessibility along the adjacent Glenn’s Creek Greenway. These targeted investments reflect our ongoing commitment to community health, active play, and youth leadership through sports.

Play mulch was replaced in late October to ensure a safe and maintainable play space.
Other progress updates:
- A bid proposal has been posted for field drainage and surface improvements. Bids will close on Nov. 10.
- An order has been placed for a flubber entry part which will accommodate varied access on the playground. The part is expected to be received in early 2027.
- A quote has been received and is being reviewed by staff for an additional part to accommodate different access between play pods.
- The project team continues to communicate with potential contractors for updates to baseball fencing.
- Field repairs are on track to be completed by the beginning of next year's baseball season.
Background
The latest Weaver Park investments are a tangible reflection of Asheville Parks & Recreation's dedication to youth development, providing an upgraded ballfield and playground where Asheville’s children can build confidence and reach their full potential. By revitalizing these essential spaces, we strengthen our long-term commitment to fostering healthy, active lifestyles and leadership skills through competitive sports and shared community play.
Over the past few years, the park has received a significant “glow up” that includes:
Upgraded Courts: Rebuilt dual-lined courts lined for tennis and pickleball with new seating, fencing, and lighting, plus a resurfaced basketball court with new goals
Significant Ballfield Improvements: New lighting, dugouts, fencing, a batting cage, a bullpen, and visitor seating
Enhanced Accessibility: Rerouted Glenn’s Creek Greenway to provide better accessibility over a new pedestrian bridge connecting both sections of the park, a new walking path, and repaved parking lots and lighting
New Amenities and Landscaping: A new playground, new picnic tables, and overall landscaping improvements
Opportunities for Input
Several years of communication and public input was important in informing the development of the most recent phase of this project, which includes ballfield and playground improvements. To determine preferred playground amenities in the most recent phase of updates to the park, the project team conducted an online survey and held two on-site events in 2024 to collect information from park users (see survey results).
