Bring Back Weaver Park
The amazing and well-loved playground at Weaver was demolished and replaced without adequate communication or community input, resulting in a down-sized play structure that lacks accessibility and feels unsafe. Asheville Parks and Rec and City Officials need to take accountability and fix this poor outcome.
Please attend the Community Meeting at Weaver Park on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 6:30 pm.
