"Listen and Remember."
Waxhaw Sk8 Park
Caldwell Street—Downtown
The Waxhaw Sk8 Park contains a half-pipe, quarter-pipe, decking, rails, ramps, a bowl
and more! Freestyle bikes are not permitted except during freestyle bike events hosted
by the Town of Waxhaw. We have recently added new shades and soon will have an
ADA picnic table with an umbrella and standard picnic table with an umbrella. There is
video surveillance on-site.
David G. Barnes Children's Park
West South Main Street, Downtown Waxhaw
The David G. Barnes Children's Park is a one acre neighborhood park featuring
playgrounds for toddler and school-aged children, restrooms, video surveillance, a
small picnic shelter, green space, benches and foliage. The park is located adjacent
to Waxhaw's historic downtown and right down from an ice cream shop!
Greenways and Trails
Greenways and trails are natural or landscaped corridors for pedestrian or bicycle
passage and a connector linking parks, nature reserves, cultural features, or historic
sites. Waxhaw is home to the Carolina Thread Trail's signature Cross-State Suspension
Bridge, a 170 foot long suspension bridge connecting the North and South Carolina
trails. Planned soon is a future connection from the Harvey Clay Nesbit Sports Park to
the back of the Town Creek Park trailhead that leads to the continuation of the Carolina
Thread Trail through the Prescot community.
