The playground…read moreis designed to challenge kids of all ages and it's a three-tiered playground for different aged children to enjoy, the one in the farthest back being more toddler/baby friendly in my opinion. There are so many things to climb, lots of sensory details, and this is just overall, a very interactive and unique playground to visit. Fun for moms and dads to join in on the fun too, with the challenging obstacle activities. Not a whole bunch of shaded areas on playground, and you can smell the dumpsters really strongly in the heat, as they are right at entrance of playground. They also have a covered basketball area, which is really nice!!!!! The splash pad is simple yet so fun for the kids!!!! And free!!!!!! Highly recommend! It's a beautifully maintained park! Concession stand and clean bathrooms as well:)

We love this newly renovated park. There is tons of parking…read moreavailable in the lot even on the weekends. The park offers two baseball fields, a soccer field, a great playground area, and a nice shelter. There is a lot of open green space to use as well. The walking path goes around the entire complex. On a sunny day it's great, but the path floods a bit when it rains. The park was very clean and had conveniently located trash cans throughout. Our first visit was around 5pm so there was tons of shade. We've also been during the middle of the day and the trees still helped out a lot. There are several benches around the playground area so it's easy to relax and keep an eye on your little ones. The playground is equipped for kids of all ages and includes toddler swings. Its learning areas include multiple mazes, sign language boards, letters, shapes, and numbers. The only downfall is the bathrooms. There was no changing station in men's nor women's bathrooms. They were also pretty dirty by the time we got there. For such a family friendly complex, the bathrooms were very disappointing.

The very very bleak playground more on bailey road is seriously lame-o. The larger playground outback past the tennis courts was likely great 10 years ago but has been very badly neglected. On the up side it is "under renovations". On the downside the town chose July - sept to do the renovations. Seriously, who plans these things. Kids are off for the summer and your closing for the summer. Another bright side is if and when this place does get a facelift it looks like it'll be pretty neat AND best of all big trees line the area so it's nicely shaded. Another note - weird note- the trees that surround the playground has these trees that drop pussy droplets and then clunk - these hard lime colored and sized things start dropping. I'be only lived here a couple years and have no ideas what they are. Weird choice for landscaping by a playground. After some googling I think they are eastern black walnut trees I'll come back this fall and check the renos out and offer an update.

Great for picnics, family fun and boating…read more Since we moved to Denver NC from Cornelius two years ago, I've wanted to explore some of the amenities such as Parks. Never was able to find the time however. Today was my chance. Most of my time on Lake Norman and Cornelius and parts of Huntersville are right across the water from this Park. Beatty''s Ford is a very old Road that originated in Charlotte and proceeded up to the Natural Ford on the Catawba River and dates back to before the American Revolution. That disappeared when Lake Norman was filled back in the early 1960"s. Beatty's Ford Road is still there and in Huntersville after it crosses NC Hwy 73, it just ends at waters edge. Had a general idea where it was at but confirmed but pulling up a map online. Not far from where we normally have Sunday Breakfast in an area referred to as Triangle. Does not have as many amenities as some of the other Parks around Lake Norman and generally geared to Families with Children or people looking to put their boat into the water and spend a day cruising Lake Norman. Has a great jungle gym, some very nice Picnic Shelters, Hiking Trails and a goodly number of boat ramps. There is a large outdoor fireplace, and it looks like they had disk golf, but it has not been maintained. It's a relaxing place on the water. You can look down stream toward Cowan's Ford Dam and they two large structures are part of the McGuire Nuclear Plant. A little to the left of that, you are looking at neighborhood called the Peninsular and where we lived in Cornelius was on the water about a mile awsy. When the weather gets cooler, definitely going to pack up a picnic basket and spend some quite time here.

My daughter enjoyed the playground. There are two play structures, one bigger than the other and a swing set. The bigger one is in need of a few repairs, which is my reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The park is also situated lake front. It has boat access and also a bench allowing for views of the lake. There also seems to be plenty of parking and plenty of covered picnic tables. Overall a great park with unique features to include in our park rotation.

We arrived around 5:30 PM to claim our seats on the lawn, and thankfully we were able to find a parking spot right near the pedestrian bridge across the street. The city posted a very detailed map of parking options on their Instagram page ... and the amazing thing is, not only is all of that parking free, but there is a free shuttle that will take folks back and forth to their spots if they are unable to walk that far (or even if they just don't want to!) The openers started at 7 PM, and then the main act started around 8:15 PM. This gave the crowd plenty of time to get situated in their spots, grab some snacks, hit the restrooms, or even ride the carousel! This was a family-friendly outdoor concert, and they did a great job of having food/drink/activities for both kids and adults to enjoy. A glass of wine or a can of beer was just $5 each ... which felt like a steal since I'm used to spending more than double that for the same pour at other concert venues. The show itself was awesome ... we saw The Fray and they were everything we wanted them to be and more. The sound and lighting were both great. The layout of the park allowed many folks to stay in their folding chairs for the majority of the show, and still be able to see what was going on on-stage. Five stars all around for Village Park and the city of Kannapolis ... more cities should take note of what a great job they are doing here to engage their community!
