This fundraiser will support Kiwanis Park’s expansion and renovation. The improvement of downtown recreation amenities will benefit the entirety of the downtown community. Kiwanis Park will tie the Thermal Belt Rail Trail to the Purple Martin Greenway, and provide much needed pedestrian and bike access to the Rutherfordton downtown corridor. We are excited to see how this project will positively impact the stores, restaurants, and museums that are downtown as it draws in visitors and residents alike to our downtown.



Rutherfordton Town Council adopted the master plan concept for Kiwanis Park’s renovation during their February 6, 2019 regular meeting. The town will be applying for a PARTF Grant, therefore any funds raised prior to the grant application have a good chance of being doubled by those funds. You are invited to purchase these personalized bricks to recognize your connection to and love for Rutherfordton.
