Green Valley Park is a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to protecting the natural beauty of the New River and providing a welcoming place for recreation, education, and connection. Nestled in the heart of Watauga County, North Carolina, the park serves as both a nature preserve and a gathering space — where families, adventurers, and visitors come together to explore, play, and give back.

A Place to Belong

Experience the serenity of the New River, the joy of outdoor play, and the pride of community stewardship. Green Valley Park exists because people believed in creating a space that balances recreation with preservation — a legacy built for generations to enjoy.
