(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!

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.

There is a nice playground (out of service because of COVID, August 2020) that is in the shade with some seating for the adults who are supervising. There is a backstop and bleachers for one of the ball fields and it's close enough to the trees that you could find a shady spot to sit. The Campbell Creek and McAlpine Creek Greenways connect James Boyce Park to McAlpine Creek Community Park. The shelter can be reserved online.

This probably makes the park little used, but open and available for your little ones and they won't get crushed in a crowd. The park also includes a few picnic tables under a shelter to eat lunch with Jr., and plenty of free parking on site. The playground has woodchips instead of sand for a cushion, so the kids don't get sand in their eyes ... a nice feature. This little hidden park is hardby one of the Greenways, and you pass the park when traveling the Greenway. Sort of hard to find, since it is buried in a residential neighborhood, but that's what keeps it a hidden gem. Recommended.

Please send karma to the clown who not only threw a bicycle in Sugar Creek but it looks like it's a kids bike and therefore stolen. I hate people. I took a nice walk around the park to try to get that out of my head. Thanks! [Review 14044 overall, 1366 of 2020, number 2670 in North Carolina.]

There are cement prints of butterflies throughout the park as well. I have driven past one of it's entrances (near Ru San's) for years and had been curious where it goes. Today I solved that mystery. If you are looking for a quiet park, this makes the short list. It's a clean park with a playground for the kiddos, tennis court, 1 basketball hoop, a mini sandbox, and a rotunda. It would be ideal for a family party or picnic with friends. Plus, there is plenty of open space to throw a frisbee or play catch with your pooch. I just adore parks and this one was a pleasant surprise.

If you frequent rows of shops along Park Road you too may find this short jaunt a nice respite from the noisy traffic cruising down the road. This park is located, as mentioned, at the heart of an old neighborhood making up the solid heart of one of Charlotte's largest residential areas. It's enough green space to get a short walk in or simply sit on the grass for a picnic on a nice day. There's a very large array of playground and jungle gym for the kids to work out all their excess energy. There's even a work out area nearby for general fitness - aimed more at adults. There's a small rose garden and a paved path around the park, not to mention the convenient sidewalk lining the road right next to it. Probably the icing on this cake is the disc golf course. I don't disc golf, but this one looks easy-peasy for the beginners out there that may be just getting into the sport. While this park may not be super stellar or anything special, I'd argue that it's a hidden gem of sorts due to its location tucked into the neighborhood and how absolutely quiet it is even now, as we sit at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when everybody just wants to get out into nature. Want to sit at a distance from people, have a bite to eat, read a book or write under the shade of a big tree? That's right, go here everyone. The secret is out.
