Sept. 6. Huntersville is in the design phase of the North Mecklenburg Park Greenway, which will be about 0.6 miles of paved greenway running through North Mecklenburg Park.

Amenities of the trail include  fitness stations, shelter, sitting areas, access to park amenities and mountain bike trail.

The trail corridor will link NC 73 to the Harvest Point subdivision at Amber Field Drive and a new paved access path to the park for residents of The Hamptons subdivision.

This segment will extend the north/south link between downtown Huntersville and NC 73, which will eventually have a side path as part of the NC 73 road project.

Huntersville will be submitting an application for a North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant to help fund the construction of this greenway.
