Eastfield Park
Eastfield Park
With an abundance of canopy trees, ephemeral streams and rolling topography, Eastfield Park has unlimited potential to provide multiple experiences. Eastfield Park is 114 acres and is located on the north side of Eastfield Road not far from the Town of Huntersville in north County. The County purchased this property in 2000, with the first phase of development identified in the County's 2008 Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The master plan for the park has been completed; Phase 1 is in the design phase, with expected construction to begin in late 2026.

Project Overview
Project Schedule:

Current Status:
February 25, 2026: Town of Huntersville drop-in public information meeting regarding upcoming rezoning hearing to allow driveway access to the western portion of the project site, crossing a stream buffer of an unnamed tributary stream.
March 1, 2026: Construction Drawings -- 90% Complete, pending any items re: rezoning
April 1, 2026: A public hearing for a rezoning of the property is scheduled for May 4, 2026 with the Huntersville Town Board of Commissioners. Conditional Rezoning (from Rural [R] to Rural-Conditional [R-CD]) is required for a modification request to permit the proposed park driveway adjacent to Eastfield Road to cross a 30’ post-construction stream buffer. This driveway is required to access the parking lot serving the proposed dog park, pavilion and biking trails. Following the Town Board public hearing, the case will be heard at the Planning Board meeting on May 26, 2026; followed by a second Town Board meeting on June 2, 2026.
