Optimist Club Park is a neighborhood park located in Gastonia, NC. Spanning 6 developed acres, the park offers various amenities such as a playground, open space, picnic area, walking trail, and a butterfly garden. It is the result of a unique public-private partnership, with the Optimist Club donating the land and raising funds for park equipment, while the city provided the design, planning, engineering, and labor to build the park.
Phase One of the park was opened in November 2013 and includes paved sidewalks, a large playground for toddlers, an open lawn area, a picnic grove with tables, and a commemorative paver section near a lighted flag pole. The park's development through this partnership has allowed for significant cost savings compared to traditional bid processes with contracted developers.
