Hornets Legacy Project
2023 Legacy Project Grier Heights Amphitheater Unveil
The Hornets Legacy Project was established in 2016 to improve the quality of neighborhood parks and to provide a safe space for youth to experience the game of basketball. From 2016-2019, the Hornets and Lowe’s worked in partnership with the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County to identify and refurbish basketball courts at Latta Park, Tuckaseegee Park, Camp Greene Park and Greenville Park. Beginning in 2021, the Hornets and Lowe’s have committed to shift the Legacy Project’s focus to supporting projects in the Grier Heights community over the next three years.
