This is a pleasant little athletic complex convenient to the Raintree neighborhood and accessible…read moreby sidewalk from other neighborhoods and apartments even miles away. There is a well maintained soccer/football field with lines and field goal posts. It's surrounded by a quarter-mile track with a softer paved turf made for track and field competition. A multisport field sits in the middle of the complex where I've seen pick up soccer games, lacrosse practice and ultimate frisbee among other things played. At the end closest to the middle school is a large baseball field and a smaller field probably for softball and kickball. The parking area directly in front of the fields is usually opened at dawn but is small. For bigger events you can park at the middle school and walk a paved path less than a mile long from there to these fields. The path passes a wetland area with an unofficial nature trail through it (that probably gets really muddy after a rain). It's a great spot to go and get fit, especially now as COVID has the school closed giving more time for public use of the fields. I even saw a proposal on the city of Charlotte page to one day turn this into a more official Olympic grade sports training complex. Would be cool to see if that happens.

I finally made a proper visit to this park. I've passed it by almost every day for the last four…read moreyears, so it was about time. It's a very quiet, quaint and beautiful park tucked in the heart of Pineville, just behind the police station. There is a path which the website says is 1.5 miles. Having walked it, even down the several disjointed sections, I found it to be barely one mile. So, I'm not sure where the other half mile comes from. The grounds are beautifully maintained with crepe myrtle trees aplenty, lots of paved space, flower beds and solid brick buildings. Three baseball fields (technically one and two softball fields), a multipurpose soccer/football/etc. field in the back, a huge painted metal playground and a large steel and concrete bridge over a big creek. The parking lot is huge and well maintained too. There is a train track running just alongside and a few old mill towers and water towers in view. This is arguably the perfect park representative of rural America, despite not being quite so rural compared to when it first opened in the 60s. When there aren't games here, which is most of the time, it's almost dead empty and eerily quiet. If that's your style, you should absolutely pay it a visit.

You down with OPP? Yeah you know me!…read more Now that I got that out of the way, Olde Providence Park (OPP) is a pretty neat and rather large park tucked into the back of an old neighborhood. Seems to have a lot of history in the area and you can tell the facilities and ball parks have been here a while. It's also conveniently connected to an elementary school for the kids to use during the school day. There are at least seven baseball fields and three full playgrounds. There's one large open field area that could easily be used as a small soccer field. My favorite feature is a meandering nature trail that runs through the forested area around the back and sides of the park. Along the trail you can even find two large seating areas for outdoor classrooms and nature-based learning. The parking situation seems limited as you're using the school's lot and the bathroom facilities were closed on a day when no games were happening. Good thing they also had a porta-potty out there. For a Sunday afternoon "walk in the park" though, this place is great. Quiet and peaceful.

I absolutely love this place. I spend way too much time here typically on the trails. Beatty Park…read moreis a 265 acre park that has a ton of recreational facilities from trail systems to 2 basketball courts (lighted), 6 tennis courts, 5 lighted soccer fields, 4 horseshoe pits, indoor shelters, 2 outdoor picnic shelters, 10 picnic areas, 2 playgrounds, conference center, restrooms, 2 softball fields and fantastic lake with kayaking, fishing and canoeing. They have an awesome singletrack 5+ miles green/blue and black-diamond trail system. It's used by both walkers and mountain bikers, using in opposing directions. The trail system has something for everyone, plenty of awesome jumps and obstacles, some decent technical areas and a few hills, some flowy and flat runs. The kayaking is pretty cool. You literally pull from your car and directly into the nice sized lake. It's not huge, but plenty big enough to enjoy some fishing or hang out on. The soccer fields aren't the best in the area, though they have grass and nice goals --what else is needed, right? The tennis courts and basketball areas are great, well lit and well maintained, as is the remainder of the park for that matter. There are many picnic tables as mentioned and some secluded picnic areas around the parking with several parking lots. They're equipped with great tables, grills, and trash cans, again, always nice and well maintained. Overall a fantastic location kudos to CharMeck for such a great space.

If your child has dreams of playing college softball, quality instruction is invaluable, and Coach Deja is outstanding. She immediately made my daughter feel comfortable while challenging her to improve. We've also had lessons with Coach Chet and Coach Max, and my daughter has loved working with all of them. This spring was our first season on an HQ4 travel team, and it was a fantastic experience. Coach Deja and Coach Max made an incredible coaching team. We watched our girls improve with every tournament, both individually and as a team. They struck the perfect balance of holding the players accountable while encouraging and building their confidence--exactly what teenage athletes need. We're so grateful to be part of the HQ4 family and highly recommend them to any player looking to grow both on and off the field.

The three ball fields are 320 feet, 275 feet and 225 feet. That's a good variety for players from high school down to little league. Dirt infield is in excellent condition and there are backstops. A home run is probably going to be a lost ball but at least it probably won't land in the parking lot. The playground is on a soft base though is not shaded. On a hot summer South Carolina afternoon, it's going to be toasty. [Review 16496 overall - 845 in South Carolina - 4 of 2022.]

I've been to countless baseball and soccer games here and had always been impressed with the sheer amount of space, number fields of all kinds, and the amount of care that goes into keeping the grounds in shape. I haven't been inside any of the main buildings, but I understand there are amenities for members to utilize such as a pool, gym, etc. The only slight drawback to this park is parking. The areas for parking can get a bit complex and overrun at times when there is more than one little league game or youth soccer match happening at the same time. Some parents get pretty creative and strategic with their mini van placement.

At the moment, I don't have a dog but when she moves to Charlotte I will be looking to bring her here for a whole lot of running about. Volleyball courts, tennis courts, picnic tales, a massive gated playground area and tons of parking. The ballfields are currently marked off for repair, but that's a small detail. I did see a few of Charlotte's finest with their K-9 partners that were parked and doing some sort of exercise. And here's your history lesson. William Davie (1756-1820) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was the tenth governor of North Carolina and was instrumental in the Battle of Charlotte in 1780, where his force of 150 men held off more than 2000 Redcoats. A true Charlotte hero!
