As we entered through the double gated entry, on the left was available water for the dogs. Straight ahead was a large concrete covered patio with 4 steel tables with benches on all 4 sides.

In the middle of the forest was a clean, well shaded wooden bench. Beyond the fence was a state forest, so snakes have been known to enter in.

Completely fenced and with separate areas for small and large dogs, there is a lot of space.

This is a super park and I would love to bring my dogs here for a run about. [Review 19517 overall - 3412 in North Carolina - 487 of 2023.]

There's a little garden with lots of benches. There a couple of picnic tables scattered throughout the park. It's not a huge park, but it also connects to the Irwin Creek Greenway which is really awesome. We walked a bit of the greenway but didn't go far since I hurt my foot. I definitely want to go back to walk the whole greenway. Parking is easy. We parked on the street for free, but then found a parking lot with plenty of spots too. The best part is that it's not crowded. If you're looking for an outdoor space in Uptown, check out this park!

I have never been to Charlotte NC before, and as I did my research on what to do, the US National…read moreWhitewater Center often came up as 1 of 2 must-visit attractions. Not being a real outdoorsy person, and only having whitewater rafted once, I felt the $89 day pass was very reasonable. I arrived at the USNWC at open time, and paid $13 for parking. Once parked, I lined up at the Outfitters center to sign up for activities. It was already busy, so I was probably in line for about 20 minutes to get my spot for whitewater rafting. They make it sound like you can only do whitewater rafting once, but after speaking to my guide, you can only have one reservation at a time. Once you finish you trip, you can immediately sign up again if there are spots. As I was there relatively early, I was schedule for a 10am rafting start, which gave me plenty of time to walk around the check out the area before getting to rafting. My general thoughts: - Whitewater rafting was terrific. It was the main focus of my visit, and completely made my day pass worth it. My guide was fun and informative. The conveyer belt bringing the raft back up was operational while I did it, but later in the day, it looked like the conveyer was out of service, so everyone had to carry the rafts back up, which is quite a bit of extra work. Between the heat and extra carrying, I decided not to go back, otherwise I would have. - The bin storage service made it easy to rent a bin to store my gear. It often had lines, so I would recommend minimize the number of times you need to access it. You can access as many times as you want. - I did the kayaking at the flatwater area. It was a much more relaxing area that you can go at your own-pace. - The ziplines were a bit disappointing, unless you pay extra for the longer lines. The lines that don't require reservations are very short, and frankly, not worth doing unless it's your first time trying it. - Most of the rock climbing areas were closed off, and the few areas open was packed with small children. So I decided not to try it. - Because by late day, it was getting uncomfortably hot, so i decided not to do the rope courses, but they looked pretty good. - Entry to the area is free, so a good number of visitors hang out just to have picnics and watch. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, only because of the whitewater rafting. It's much more affordable then what I could do back at home. The ziplines are good for first timers. Ropes courses looked good, and flatwater activities are nice to move at a more relaxed pace. I can see why it's a popular place.
