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.

(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!

There was a lot of construction going on and the nature trail was closed, but there was still a nice route through residential streets and paved space. The traffic might be slightly overwhelming for home owners, but everyone was there for the physical activity and having a good time. I look forward to taking a longer walk to see where else the trail goes.

I live near the Brandywine Road part of the Greenway. I simply walk out my condo door and presto! I'm there. It's a quiet, leisurely stroll with joggers, kids in strollers, while others are biking or walking their dogs. Wonderful. Feeling the allure of nature even within an urban setting? Pegs the needle to "10" on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Relax here.

Beautiful waterfalls, striking public art, lush gardens, plenty of seating, and wide walkable paths make it a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the city. The hydrangeas were putting on quite a show during my visit, and I loved discovering the sculptures and learning about the stories behind them. There's something special about hearing water flowing while surrounded by the Charlotte skyline. Whether you're grabbing lunch nearby, taking a morning walk, or simply looking for a peaceful place to sit and reflect, this park delivers. Clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. A gem in the middle of Uptown.

It was nestled in the middle of a neighborhood. And it was quick to walk through.

Yes the greenway is in west Charlotte, but once the city plan furthers itself, most of the greenways will be connected which will be nice- since the city can be pretty treacherous on the roads with vehicles that don't like to share. Like most other greenways, there are benches... places to stop and also places to walk pets. I didn't see many baggie stations, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time to install once it becomes more popular. Part of the trailhead will get you on stuart creek and connect you to Blue Blaze. Great way to experience Wesley heights and take in a local brewery!

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.
