We've seen some questions circulating about the future of Stumptown Park and Matthews Veterans Memorial Park, and we want to provide clarification.

The Town has no plans to demolish Stumptown Park or replace it with apartments or any other development. The Town has not received any development proposals for the property, nor has it engaged in discussions with developers about potential redevelopment.

Stumptown Park is an important part of our community and the history of Matthews. The Town has long recognized the need for additional park space downtown and purchased adjacent properties years ago with the goal of expanding the park.

With recent development of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) rebuilding Matthews Elementary School (scheduled to open in 2029) and the announcement of Discovery Place Kids coming to Matthews, there may be an opportunity to build a larger park on the existing school property, across from Stumptown Park.

Part of this vision could include the expansion of Matthews Veterans Memorial Park. We recognize the tremendous time and effort that local veterans and community members have invested in the memorial. Their perspectives would be an important part of the planning process.

These are very preliminary ideas. No decisions have been made about Veterans Memorial Park or the existing Stumptown Park property.

Any proposed changes would involve opportunities for community input before final decisions are made. We will keep residents informed and engaged throughout the process.

We encourage residents to subscribe to the Town’s e-newsletter, follow us on social media and visit our website www.matthewsnc.gov for updates.
