(From November 2025)…read more I can't remember how I found this but as I'm driving in Charlotte, my dad and I stopped here to check it out. This is one of the most beautiful parks I've had the pleasure of visiting. There are beautiful views, playgrounds and lawn space for children's play, plenty of parking, trails for walking/bike riding, several bridges, and large trees to compliment the fields. The park is well-kept as everyone here ensures cleanliness and top maintenance. As my dad and I sat down on the bench and soaked in our surroundings, we observed a plethora of activity which included some people flying drones, kids competing in the playground's obstacle course, elderly folks walking, dogs running amok, people racing toy cars, and a few people cycling. The positive energy and vibes were radiant. I'm glad we stopped by here. Definitely worth a visit in Charlotte!

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.

The burgers were the best option as they were seasoned  and the toppings were fresh. The pulled pork was my second favorite. The hot dogs were good, but I'm not a huge hot dog fan. I'm never one to eat at the ballpark because it's usually overpriced for basic food. Yet, depending on the prices, I would consider eating here outside of work events.

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.

I have taken my girls here many times to practice and have not been dissapointed. They can handle individual practice or team practice with the amount of space and equipment.

T-ball stands, and auto-pitching machines are available too. They have COLD drinks for only $1 available and are super friendly and local. Love it and can't wait for next season!

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.

It is operated in partnership with the Morrison YMCA. [Review 11567 overall, 1347 of 2019.]

On top of that, one of the baseball fields was being used for little league play and they were going all out. The park has two picnic shelters with tables and grills, a tennis court, basketball court, batting cages, restrooms, splashpad and two playgrounds. One of the playgrounds is named after Zahra Baker and I'd suggest you not go look up that name. The park is handicapped accessible including some of the rides. The four baseball fields are lighted. Parking was very limited today with lots of parents bringing their kids and hanging out. I managed to find a legal spot in front of a home on a cross street. Don't block driveways or fire hydrants!
