Kids from a soccer league that plays in the park will help Mecklenburg Park and Rec "kick-off" the grand opening of Eastway Park on Sat., Oct. 3, 2009 at 10am. Interested citizens are invited to the kick-off.
The park is being developed in phases behind the shopping center at Eastway and The Plaza. It incorporates the old Briarwood Park (33 acres) plus additional 90 new acres.
Phase I cost $3.6 million, paid for by Park and Rec bonds approved by voters. Phase I includes two athletic fields for soccer or football (on the Eastway side), two softball fields (on the Briarwood side), restrooms and parking. Additional phases come as funding is available. Eastway Park serves many neighborhoods: Plaza Park, Highland Trace, Citiside, Shannon Park, Hampshire Hills, Bridlewood, Eastbrook, Green Meadows, and Green Forest.
