The Buncombe County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board serves as a conduit for public input, an advisory body, and as a force to advocate for the work and future plans of Buncombe County Parks & Recreation. This board will help shape the future of Buncombe County’s parks and greenways and work to inform better recreation services now.  

Board Goals:

• Develop a strong, clear message about the County’s parks, greenways and recreation offerings that demonstrates how the public is being served and opportunities currently available to citizens. Help disseminate that message.
• Work in coordination with Commissioners and staff to support implementation and evolution of the Buncombe County Greenways and Trails Master Plan.
• Recommend strategic priorities for capital investments and facility improvements.
• Review and provide feedback concerning funding strategies and priorities of recreation-related capital improvements.
• Work in partnership with affinity groups—supportive nonprofits, parent organizations, schools, sports teams, etc.—to advocate for and promote County parks, greenways and recreation services
