What We Do
Since our creation in May of 2025, the Friends of Waxhaw Parks & Trails partners with the Town of Waxhaw Parks & Recreation Department to provide recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities that promote a healthy lifestyle for the entire community.
Our Mission
To champion, enhance, and support Waxhaw’s parks, trails, and open space through community partnerships, volunteerism, fundraising, and educational opportunities that promote connectivity, accessibility, sustainability, and a shared love of nature and history.
“We are excited to establish a connection with the Town and continue the local and regional growth the Parks & Recreation Department has begun.”
— Jeff Hamula, President FoWP&T
