Parks Frank Liske Park : Frank Liske Park is located near the geographical center of Cabarrus County at 4001 Stough Road in Concord. The Park consists of 178 acres and offers many active and passive recreational activities. The Park has numerous picnic areas and shelters that may be reserved in advance. Each of the larger shelters has adjacent horseshoe pits, charcoal grills, and a volleyball court. Horseshoes and volleyballs may be checked out at the miniature golf course or from the Park Ranger at no charge. The focal point of the Park is a refurbished dairy barn. The barn has four areas that can accommodate up to a total of 425 people. The upper level of the barn is frequently used for birthday parties, reunions, weddings, and Christmas parties. The upper level has heat and air conditioning while the lower level has heat only. Another main attraction at the Park is an 18 hole miniature golf course. The course is open April thru October and also offers concessions. The 9.2 acre lake is stocked with large mouth bass, bream, and catfish and offers year round fishing. Paddleboat rentals are also available on weekends during April thru October. Additional facilities at the Park include a lighted six court tennis complex, softball complex with four fields, two soccer fields, nature trail, fitness trail, and five play areas, including an area for smaller children, and an ADA fitness area. During the past year Frank Liske Park has hosted the Annual Indian Pow Wow in August, Holiday Highlights in December, a Street Rod Car Show in September, a Rodeo in October, and several state and regional softball tournaments throughout the summer. During the 1996-97 year Frank Liske Park will be adding two small picnic shelters that will accommodate approximately 50 people. These shelters should be com- pleted by April of 1997. We have also started construction of the new Park Perimeter Trail. When completed this trail will be approxi- mately two miles in length. During 1995-96 we scheduled 1,057 8~lvance reserva- tions for 59,634 people, an average group size of 56 people. Total Park visitation totaled approximately 175,662 people.
