PROJECTS
IN THE WORKS
We hope the Friends Project Page will help keep our Friends Groups up-to-date on the project status, including what we already accomplished, the current phase, and what is on the horizon.
The Friends of Carolina Beach Parks and Greenways, a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, was founded in 2022 to support the Town of Carolina Beach in providing programs and facilities to promote the social, cultural and recreational well-being of all residents and visitors of Carolina Beach. The friends board is actively working on fundraising for various park projects that are listed below. This is not an exhaustive list and we encourage anyone with additional ideas to reach out to the Carolina Beach Parks and Recreation Department.
If you have ideas or are willing to setup a fundraising event for any of the below projects, please reach out! We are always open to look into fundraising opportunities to push these projects forward!
CB Tree Project
The goal of the tree project is to continue to plant trees across Carolina Beach so that we continue to improve our outdoor spaces day by day, year by year. There are always ongoing projects with the Trees. Keep and eye on the Facebook page for most up-to-date information.
