We thought this park looked pretty cool, so we drove over, parked on the road and walked around. It was a nice day and lots of other people were out. We walked around the lake and checked out some of the features like bridges, streams, bridges and an amphitheatre. There was also a playground nearby. All in all, a lovely outdoor space in Charlotte.

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.

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 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!
