It's a really nice park with a disc golf course, soccer fields, etc. You can walk right down to the lake too and there's a very small beach. This was my favorite part. There was almost no one else there when we were there on a weekend. The trail itself was nice. If you're looking for a hilly walk in Charlotte, this is probably the steepest we've done right in Charlotte.

The asphalt trail continues west and then south from here to Lookout Park. It's very cool. The playground is top notch. It is entirely fenced in to keep the little ones from wandering off. The equipment is clean, modern and looks like fun for ages up to around 12 or so. Small slices, climbing frames, swing sets and the like. All in bright colors that immediately appeal to little ones. Note that the trail is open and the park will reopen after the COVID issues are clear. [Review 13056 overall, 373 of 2020.]

As I'm now an experienced RVer, I can absolutely appreciate what they have done here - power, water views and most of the spots are well shaded. Many have easy pull through access. The lots are not on top of each other. Big parking lot for boat launches where THREE lanes are set up with two docks and a big area for pulling around. The slope to the water is gradual. Next to the boat launch, a huge lake side park with a crescent shaped dock that goes around the beach and swimming area. Several picnic pavilions, charcoal grills (fresh lake-caught fish, anyone?), a playground, and a pickleball court. The picnic building has good cover and restrooms. The parking lot for cars is huge and well painted. This is a terrific park and York County has done a great job. [Review 16531 overall - 860 in South Carolina - 41 of 2022.]

One of Tega Cay's oldest parks, it sits at the end of one of the longest peninsulas of the town. The park features playground and picnic sites that are directly on the lake as well as covered picnic shelters, restrooms and a beautiful scenic overlook. Friday nights are when the Carolina Show Ski Team puts on their free waterski shows. Note that parking is by permit only and the permits are not free. There's also no walking here from anywhere other than very nearby as no public transport visits this deep into Tega Cay. [Review 13069 overall, 386 of 2020.]

Windjammer park is one of the most beautiful and accessible parks in the area. To start things off,…read morethere are a couple beaches scattered throughout the peninsula along with some docks too. There is a pavilion with benches too which can make for some scenic picnics. In the summer, the park can get pretty busy but nothing unbearable as there is plenty of space. Make sure to be careful with parking as you need a Tega Cay parking pass and sometimes police will make rounds. The main attraction of the park is the sunset during the summer. Towards the back of the park, there are plenty of benches and swings that overlook most of Lake Wylies. As the sun sets, there is a perfect angle that makes for an amazing view. All in all, this park is worth a visit and makes for a fun, cheap outing.

This park is good for 3 things:…read more #1 - Launching a boat. # 2 - Watching the sunset. Windjammer has the best view on the peninsula but Pitcairn has some pretty decent spots. There are a few platform bench areas and some other benches scattered near the water, not to mention the dock itself. # 3 - In the summertime, if you are a teenager, this seems to be the place to be. The docks are normally infested with groups of teens swimming, tanning and imbibing in underage activities. But no hate and no shade. ** Honorable mention goes to fishing. My husband will come here every few weeks to get the line wet. He has yet to catch anything memorable but the ambience makes it worthwhile. There is also a very sparse play structure, some picnic tables and a restroom. We've renamed it the "murder bathroom" because it's dank and nasty. It's worth mentioning a Tega Cay sticker is required to park here.

I thought it wouldn't be crowded and I was right. We saw three other people while we were there. It's a short greenway. It's only about a quarter of a mile long, so a half mile total to get back to your car. We parked at the back of the Home Depot parking lot. I'm not sure if you're supposed to but we didn't have any issues. Even though it's really short, it's a nice greenway that's almost completely shaded. It's located in the Rivergate Shopping Center.
