As a longtime resident of Mint Hill and the father of three young children, I would like to voice my support for the "active concept". In my opinion this is the concept that offers the most amenities that can be utilized by an overwhelming majority of the Mint Hill population. We can not deny that the demographics of our community have changed dramatically over the past several years. The growth of Mint Hill has brought in new residents, many of whom have young children and active lifestyles. The "active concept" provides ample space for walking, biking, picnicking, and other individual and family activities, while addressing the need for more athletic fields for both organized and independent play. This need is evidenced by the fact that the fields at both existing parks (218 and Wilgrove) are reserved on a consistent basis.
