One of the much larger parks operated by Mecklenburg County, Ballantyne District Park weighs in at a full 91 acres. The park includes a soccer field, four lighted baseball/soccer fields and a picnic shelter. When I stopped in today, there was some sort of mountain biking trail thing going on, so they clearly have a ton of that.
Not much for playground or basketball, but there are other parks nearby that do have them.
The park is set back from Johnston Road so it's quite secluded as far as traffic goes. It is operated in partnership with the Morrison YMCA.
