Parks Advisory Committee

The Parks Advisory Committee was established to act as representatives of the residents of Catawba County. Their mission is to assist and provide input to the County on improvements that would enhance the Catawba County Park experience. The Committee is comprised of County residents of diverse backgrounds, age, ethnicity, affiliations and gender who live throughout the County. Meetings are conducted on a quarterly basis, with additional meetings throughout the year for system-wide and individual park master plans or projects. Committee members help distribute flyers and surveys and host public forums to get direct citizen input for specific projects.
