What’s New with Stonewall Sports – Asheville?

Buncombians are the guiding star for Buncombe County Recreation Services. They inform us of how they use parks and what projects we should prioritize. The Parks, Greenways, and Recreation Advisory Board is an extension of that transparency, ensuring a two-way conversation is always happening when it comes to improving equitable access to recreation and enhancing the quality of life in our community.
There is a great amount of diversity among those who use Buncombe County parks and recreation facilities; the ultimate goal is an advisory group that reflects this. The board’s mission statement is: “Advocating for cultural preservation and changing lives through equitable recreation opportunities in public spaces, greenways, and parks.”

It’s been awhile, Stonewall Sports family! Your collective energy remains amazingly strong + resolute as we all look forward to better times ahead together.
What do better times look like? They definitely include new measures to ensure the safest + healthiest environment possible. They’ll likely include some low-contact sports like cornhole + bocce soon with kickball + sand volleyball later in the year.
Moving forward together after a difficult year of sacrifices also means there are plenty of opportunities for YOU to get involved + help shape the future of low-cost, high-fun, inclusive social sports in western North Carolina. Potential leadership positions include:
– Cornhole Commissioner
– Diversity, Equity, + Inclusion Commissioner
– Marketing Commissioner
– Kickball Commissioner
– Social Engagement Commissioner
– Outdoor Sand Volleyball Commissioner
– Bocce Commissioner
– Or something else you’re passionate about bringing to Stonewall Sports
This is YOUR league + it should reflect the entire Stonewall Sports family. This meeting is open to everyone, so feel free to bring a friend.

The market is located in A-B Tech parking lot A-13, adjacent to the A-B Tech/Mission Health Conference Center (16 Fernihurst Dr.). Enter the market via Fernihurst Dr. off Victoria Rd., following campus signs to the conference center.
Market staff will control the number of shoppers in the market area at one time by limiting the number of cars in the parking lot. When you arrive at the market, please follow signs and staff directions to queue inside your vehicle until instructed to park your car in the parking lot. There may be a 15 – 30 minute wait to park during peak shopping times.
Dates and Hours
Saturdays, 9 a.m. to noon until December 19th…
The ASAP Winter Market will run Saturdays, 10am – 1pm, January 9th until March 27th in the same location.
Market Rules
- No customers or vendors exhibiting symptoms may enter the market.
- Maintain 6 feet of social distance at all times.
- One customer at a time for each vendor table.
- Only handle product you are purchasing. Vendors will pre-package or bunch products.
- All vendors and shoppers are required to wear masks. Customers who are not able to wear a mask may arrange to pre-order from vendors. Market staff will direct you to a separate parking area and deliver prepaid items to the car.
- Children, if they must attend with adult shoppers, must be closely supervised.
- Please leave your pets at home.
Staff will direct anyone failing to comply with these conditions to leave the market.

Looking to get involved, stay active, and meet some new friends? Sand Hill Community Garden workdays take place on Wednesdays (6-8 p.m.) and Saturdays (10 a.m.-noon) from Feb. 27-Oct. 30, 2021, at Buncombe County Sports Park. The garden is located on 16 Apac Dr. in West Asheville/Enka-Candler.
Join friends and neighbors as they come together on common ground to raise fresh, organic vegetables and fruits for the Enka community.
Expect to wear a mask and maintain social distance throughout. Tools and hand sanitizer are available, but any gloves, loppers, pruners, or gardening tools you can bring will decrease the amount of contact between volunteers. Please wear work clothes to get dirty and closed-toe shoes. Sunscreen, water, and a hat are also handy items to have on hand.
Sand Hill Community Garden has been growing fresh produce since 2011 and raised over 1,200 lbs. of organic produce last year.
