The park has FOUR lighted softball fields, four lighted soccer fields and a volleyball court. There are batting cages, a dog park, a paved greenway, ten miles of hiking/biking/blading trails, a huge horseshoe pit area and several playground equipment setups. The pumptrack looks awesome. It's not a sport that I really do much of, but it seems to be pretty capable. Lots of parking. [Review 12592 overall, 2384 of 2019.]

(For what it's worth, I'm not sure how you go about reserving the fields as I've never done it, but I'm sure calling Parks and Recreation could lead you in the right direction...) I'd go as far as saying this is probably the best park in Gaston County.

They host monthly full moon night sessions and it was absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful!!! Greg and Morgan were so knowledgeable and sooooo nice! Me and my bestie were semi new to kayaking and Greg was there every step of the way to help us out and teach us. We felt completely safe with them! We made some fun new friends and Morgan told us some pretty dope folklore about the stars. This was legit one of the best experiences of my life. I cannot wait to go back! This park is gorgeous and there were other parts we didn't even get to check out. But I legit can't wait to go back!!!

The shots are a little too close for comfort in my opinion but it's Labor Day weekend and many people came out to enjoy time with their families and friends.

When we were walking around downtown Charlotte, we came upon an area that was noticeably.....green!…read more Imagine my surprise when I did a yelp search to see if I could check in in this area, and sure enough there were several reviews for this nice little downtown park called "The Green". Kinda finding itself sandwiched between office buildings, I can see this place being a great "get away from work" lunch escape. One of the cooler features about the green, at least to me was their many mile markers that show arrows pointing to (insert city), with the approximate number of miles to get there and in what direction you can go. These little posts are littered all over the park and are impossible to ignore. There are several statues like the three large fish that kids seemed to love and the book statues as well. It's just a really nice place to find yourself on a warm and dry day. Natural shade from all of the trees, there's a large amount of landscaping around for sitting, or you can just have a seat on the well manicured grass. Not the largest park, but it is a little squirt of outdoor happiness between business as usual. There are no restrooms here, but there are trash cans about for that time when you'd like to have a snack in the shade and need to toss your food wrappers. I had no expectations for this park, and truly didn't know it existed, but because it hit the spot AND was such a nice break from all of the downtown-ness, it's easily 5 stars for me. Would I plan an entire trip to charlotte around it? Nah...it's not that kind of park. But while you're there, you will enjoy it no doubt!

As I'm now an experienced RVer, I can absolutely appreciate what they have done here - power, water views and most of the spots are well shaded. Many have easy pull through access. The lots are not on top of each other. Big parking lot for boat launches where THREE lanes are set up with two docks and a big area for pulling around. The slope to the water is gradual. Next to the boat launch, a huge lake side park with a crescent shaped dock that goes around the beach and swimming area. Several picnic pavilions, charcoal grills (fresh lake-caught fish, anyone?), a playground, and a pickleball court. The picnic building has good cover and restrooms. The parking lot for cars is huge and well painted. This is a terrific park and York County has done a great job. [Review 16531 overall - 860 in South Carolina - 41 of 2022.]

It's starts at Goat Island Park south of 85. Another weekend we came back and did the South Fork Catawba Trail which is north of 85. That was about 4 miles round trip. I really hope they connect the two because they're so close together, but there is a small gap between the two, so you can't hike straight through. I saw some signs that made it look like there were plans to extend it, so hopefully that happens. If you're looking for an easy walk that's not crowded, check out either of these two trails!

As soon as we started the car, one tire had been let out and had a 26 psi. First thought, slow leak....we aired up at a gas station and drove home. That same tire has not lost air since we aired it up. So I can only speculate that the girl roaming around was letting air out of people's tires so for that...I'm taking off a star
