In the interest of honoring the past while looking ahead toward a bright future, the Town of Cornelius is returning the Parks, Arts, Recreation and Culture Department (PARC) to our original name: the Cornelius Parks and Recreation Department. The catalyst for the name change is the upcoming turnover of the Cornelius Arts Center and all arts programming to the Cain Center for the Arts (CCA). Given CCA will assume the arts programming historically run by PARC, a natural opportunity arose for a rebranding of the department. We will now focus on providing “exceptional parks, greenways, and community experiences”, as reflected in our new tagline. Since this department's founding as Parks and Recreation in 1996, we have worked to enhance the lives of those that call Cornelius home, while also welcoming visitors from throughout the region. The department’s name was changed to PARC in 2008 with the addition of arts programming and an increase in cultural events. As our name returns to Parks and Recreation, we will continue to increase and improve upon our popular parks and greenways, enhance protection of our natural areas, and offer memorable experiences through our hundreds of annual events and programs. This renaming is an acknowledgement of our history and a look to the future as we refocus our attention on our core values. The entire staff of the Cornelius Parks and Recreation Department looks forward to expanding critically needed recreational amenities and offering events and programs most desired by you! |
