My husband and I grabbed lunch from a food truck and drove around to find a park to eat in. This…read morepark was easily accessible with our car on a late Saturday afternoon. Learned while there that it's the first African American park in Charlotte. We easily found covered seating with a table not far from a basketball court and pickle ball court with games in play. We were also near restrooms which I meant to check out but from the outside the building looked new and well kept. Weather was nice out, park was not crowded. I saw a sign advertising music in the evenings every 4th Saturday. There's an amphitheater near the front of the park. We'll probably be back to check out the music. Really nice park!

We were looking for a place to have Wild Bill's BBQ delivered to since it's a ghost kitchen and we…read moredon't live within the delivery radius. This park was close enough, so we picked it. There's no parking that I could find. We parked on the street in one of the nearby neighborhoods, but I'm not sure if you're supposed to do that. The park is pretty small. There's a small playground and picnic shelter. It had what we needed, but not much more. If you need a place to eat takeout, this will do the trick. Otherwise, there's not much to explore.

This is one of our favorite parks to eat our City Kitch takeout at! Why?…read more Well for starters it's only about 5 minutes from City Kitch so our food doesn't get cold. It's also never been crowded. There are plenty of shaded picnic tables under the trees. It's right on the Irwin Creek Greenway which would be a great place to go for a stroll after.

Mostly good experiences, but my puppy has been attacked. The dog park is large with a walking trail, which is nice. There is some waste in the parks, but the fault lies with the owners. There are nice benches and picnic tables to sit at, and water dishes with spouts for the pups to drink from. Overall a nice place to spend an hour or so with the furry babies.

You need to loop around on Mount Holly-Huntersville Road and then Bellhaven to get here. The park features a soccer pitch, two volleyball courts, two baseball fields and a fenced in dog park next to a playground. There are not enough dog parks in Charlotte so this is really nice to see. The park lines up directly north of Charlotte airport's runways, so you'll get a bit of plane watching here. [Review 10592 overall, 360 of 2019.]
