Rhododendron Lake, also known as Laurel Park Lake, was built in 1909 and for many years afterward served as a community hub for Laurel Park and Hendersonville. Families came to enjoy summer days spent on the beach or nights viewing silent movies. Many residents first learned to swim in those very waters. Rhododendron Lake Nature Park is a memorial to those memories and that feeling of community present at Rhododendron Lake.
Your donation will further the vision of an outdoor-oriented and active community. With a park that can be used by all ages and enjoyed for generations to come, the town of Laurel Park will continue to thrive and prosper.
We have created various donation levels that offer donor recognition. Don’t miss your opportunity to immortalize your name and words in the park. Thank you for supporting the enhancement of our community!
Paver donors should also fill out and submit a Paver Order Form. View the available symbols for the pavers here. Pavers will be ordered and installed by the end of the month after the paver order form is submitted. For example, pavers ordered March 1 - March 31 will be installed by April 30th.
