    Another weekend, hike at Renaissance Park in Charlotte. The trails were not marked well it was very muddy and very slippery but by the same token, it was very enjoyable several different surfaces to walk on many little bridges across.

    This large park is closest to my home and is underneath the final approach to CLT's runway 36R. So you might see me and you'll definitely see planes overhead. The park includes a separate golf course and a separate tennus center. There are also two softball fields (not available for practice), nine sand volleyball courts and a series of bike trails. This highlight of the park is an 18 hole championship disc golf course. Lots of parking and a few spots in the shade. A couple of picnic tables are scattered about and that was where I sat today with my takeout lunch to enjoy some "al fresco dining" before continuing on my errands and exploration.

    It's a perfect all-day hangout with beach volleyball, hiking trails, and disc golf.

    Sooooo not too much to really say about this park as it is really somewhere to come if you live in…read morethe neighborhood and just want to take your furry companion out for a short walk - or even get some fresh air! This park is maybe about a 10-20 min walk to the front and back as it is not very big. There is a small garden near one of the entrances depending on where you enter which was really nice. There is also some benches in the middle of the park if you should need to rest your feet. My dog and I came here because I never came to this park before and it was ok. There was a young man playing frisbee with his dog in an open area that I thought was a really cool idea. Since this park is located off of a main road with a really cool neighborhood restaurant nearby - there was a few people walking around (not much). Overall, if your looking for a short walk or an open field to play with your dog - this would be the place for you.

    Independence Park is one of the most centrally located of the many parks inside Charlotte proper…read more It's surrounded by the rather affluent neighborhood of Elizabeth (which often makes me assume it's called Elizabeth Park). Directly bordering it are several houses and a neighborhood on one end progressing through a few schools and churches until it reaches its end at the CPCC football/soccer complex. In winter it's relatively empty and in disrepair. Don't expect a beautiful experience. However, I believe the last few warm months have led to early blooms of beautiful pink camellia flowers throughout my favorite side of the park tucked into the neighborhoods. There are basketball courts, a baseball field and soccer field and two tennis courts here. Not to mention a few "Story Walks" that cater to children encouraging a walk-and-read-along through the park. The new-looking playground is nothing like what I played on as a kid and requires great strength, coordination and a bit of endurance. Seems fun but I fell off... There's also, last but not least, a Little Free Library box just for kids. The park is free of course. It's bisected by a road about halfway that requires you to cross the street (no tunnel or bridge) and the snaking paths don't make it especially good as a self-contained running space. In the warmer months I imagine it picks up with crowds hitting the picnic tables and grilling out. Parking will probably be sparse then but early winter is not a bad time.
