It's a really nice park with a disc golf course, soccer fields, etc. You can walk right down to the lake too and there's a very small beach. This was my favorite part. There was almost no one else there when we were there on a weekend. The trail itself was nice. If you're looking for a hilly walk in Charlotte, this is probably the steepest we've done right in Charlotte.

One of Tega Cay's oldest parks, it sits at the end of one of the longest peninsulas of the town. The park features playground and picnic sites that are directly on the lake as well as covered picnic shelters, restrooms and a beautiful scenic overlook. Friday nights are when the Carolina Show Ski Team puts on their free waterski shows. Note that parking is by permit only and the permits are not free. There's also no walking here from anywhere other than very nearby as no public transport visits this deep into Tega Cay. [Review 13069 overall, 386 of 2020.]

Windjammer park is one of the most beautiful and accessible parks in the area. To start things off,…read morethere are a couple beaches scattered throughout the peninsula along with some docks too. There is a pavilion with benches too which can make for some scenic picnics. In the summer, the park can get pretty busy but nothing unbearable as there is plenty of space. Make sure to be careful with parking as you need a Tega Cay parking pass and sometimes police will make rounds. The main attraction of the park is the sunset during the summer. Towards the back of the park, there are plenty of benches and swings that overlook most of Lake Wylies. As the sun sets, there is a perfect angle that makes for an amazing view. All in all, this park is worth a visit and makes for a fun, cheap outing.

I've been to this park many times over the recent years but this evening was special because my Grand was performing in the town Christmas show Choir after the Tree Lighting. The Town did such a great job adding the 2,400 square foot Amphitheater, it's a great design and a needed addition to the growing Town of Fort Mill. It's a town tradition along with the parade. They close down main street making it walkable for all the local business'. We're living in the 'post-COVID' world and it feels so good to see all the residents and hundreds of families out celebrating the season and just being together. There was so much laughter, so many smiles and it was clear to me we as a community, a town and a nation are feeling happier and more optimistic.

I lucked up on a parking space right off the green but this place definitely needs more dedicated parking. The amphitheater is nicely located at one end of the green and away from the playground. This allowed ppl to setup their chairs and tents by the stage and families to be closer to the park area so their kids could play. The addition of bathrooms is super nice and the accommodations are great. This event included food trucks and a beer tent. You had to purchase tickets to buy beer but the ticket tent was right next to the beer tent. Can't wait for the next concert and to hopefully entice the family to come out too.

The park is a great option once the McDowell Nature Preserves park and playground closes. You can quickly head over to the Palisades park and let the kids finish playing. That's exactly what some friends and myself did. The playground equipment is very modern with an old school rocking horse available for smaller kids. I was very impressed by the different pieces of playground equipment. I believe it's ideal to go to this park when school isn't in session because the playground equipment is used by the school. If no one is at school the parking lot is huge and ideal for scooters, bikes and other toys like that. Palisades Park 15321 York Rd Charlotte, NC 28278 Monday December 30, 2019 5:30pm
