Projects
Here's just a small sampling of the natural treasures the Town of Waxhaw has helped to create over the years and the Friends of Waxhaw Parks & Trails will foster further growth in the near future.
Carolina Thread Trail Expansion
The Town of Waxhaw has been awarded $50,000 from the Carolina Thread Trail towards reconstruction and repairs to the 12 Mile Greenway. The Carolina Thread Trail is a regional network of connected greenways, trails, and blueways that encompasses 15 counties, 2 states, and close to 3 million people. The 12 Mile Greenway in Waxhaw is part of the Carolina Thread Trail network. Portions of the 12 Mile Greenway need significant repair and this grant will help towards the cost. Waxhaw was one of the 16 local governments and organizations to receive a grant award. Carolina Thread Trail awarded a total of $755,500 to its partners.
Prescot Trail Bridges
2025 saw the newly constructed Prescot Trail Bridge installed in the Town of Waxhaw. This allowed for safe accessible access to further extension of the trail network.
