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. Not much for playground or basketball, but there are other parks nearby that do have them. The park is set back from Johnston Road so it's quite secluded as far as traffic goes. It is operated in partnership with the Morrison YMCA. [Review 11567 overall, 1347 of 2019.]

At the moment, I don't have a dog but when she moves to Charlotte I will be looking to bring her here for a whole lot of running about. Volleyball courts, tennis courts, picnic tales, a massive gated playground area and tons of parking. The ballfields are currently marked off for repair, but that's a small detail. I did see a few of Charlotte's finest with their K-9 partners that were parked and doing some sort of exercise. And here's your history lesson. William Davie (1756-1820) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was the tenth governor of North Carolina and was instrumental in the Battle of Charlotte in 1780, where his force of 150 men held off more than 2000 Redcoats. A true Charlotte hero! Great, great, GREAT park.

It has a lot of mountain biking trails, but we were just hiking. The lake is really pretty and some of the trails go right along it. I'm not sure if we followed an actual predefined hike, but I think we walked for about 4 miles which is pretty good for a Charlotte park. If you're looking to get outside in Charlotte, check out this park!

Warning to parents considering enrolling their child with Accelerate Basketball Training Sydney,…read moreAustralia. After registering our son for both the skills training and the elite team competition season with Accelerator Sydney, Australia and committing to over two hours travel time 3 days per week to participate in their not so cheap basketball programs for over 12 months. Despite being pleased with the overall coaching from the Head Coach Dwight, we were shocked and very disappointed when the concerns we raised with management, questioning the impact that a proposed increase in the number of training days, plus participating in a second association competition during the season, would have on our son, we were met with a barrage of verbal abuse and told in no uncertain terms where to go! An irascible person such as the Manager Ben, of Accelerate Basketball Sydney, Australia, should not be working with Children or running and managing any children's training programs. We therefore removed our child from the Accelerate Sydney, Australia Basketball Training program as we are not willing to entrust our son to someone with such volatile and inappropriate behaviour.

This large park in Fort Mill has three lighted baseball diamonds, four picnic tables, playgrounds,…read morerestrooms and even two covered shelters! The three ball fields are 320 feet, 275 feet and 225 feet. That's a good variety for players from high school down to little league. Dirt infield is in excellent condition and there are backstops. A home run is probably going to be a lost ball but at least it probably won't land in the parking lot. The playground is on a soft base though is not shaded. On a hot summer South Carolina afternoon, it's going to be toasty. [Review 16496 overall - 845 in South Carolina - 4 of 2022.]

There is a walking path along White Street that goes through here and that may be useful if you're looking to get some fresh air. I sat at one of the benches with my takeout from nearby Improper Pig, which was cool. The park is a little higher than the nearby area so the view of downtown Fort Mill is nice.
