Parks, Greenways, and Recreation Advisory Board

Advocating for cultural preservation and changing lives through equitable recreation opportunities in public spaces, greenways, and parks.

This advisory board was established as the Buncombe County Recreation Advisory Council on February 5, 1973. Following the passage of North Carolina House Bill 418, the council was disbanded for the creation of a Culture and Recreation Authority. North Carolina Session Law 2014-26 repealed the creation of the authority and the Parks, Greenways, and Recreation Advisory Board was activated by Buncombe County Resolution #19-06-05 on June 4, 2019.
