This small passive park was created after 9/11 to honor those who have served our country. The park…read moreis located along Main Street a few blocks from the center of Albemarle. It includes a few tables that are perfect for a chess match or a picnic, some benches, and a gravel path from the street to the brick half-circle that points out the wars and battles and conflicts of those who have served our country. Behind is the Stanly County Confederate Memorial, which I suppose is as good a spot for it as any. There is limited street parking directly in front and more parking nearby.

Over 170 acres, the park is managed by Huntersville. Three soccer fields, four lighted softball fields, a lighted baseball field, two picnic shelters, a disc golf course, a playground and restrooms. It's yuge! Lots of space, lots of activities, this is a big professional recreational facility. Get some! [Review 13415 overall, 734 of 2020.]

My Dog Napoleon thinks it's his park and insists ongoing there for every walk. Most people are respectful and enjoy the green area and also clean up after themselves if they have dogs, however there are a few in the minority that aren't as community minded. Saw two other large dogs with owners who could barely control them. Unfortunate because there are a lot of children and people playing near the water area and the playground area. Highly recommend one of my favorite parks of the city. They also have concerts and events like movies here.

Great Googly Moogly. This is pretty darned amazing. I had no idea that a small town like Salisbury…read morecould hide such a clean, modern and advanced park! There is a huge green in front of a bandshell that is an amphitheater. Lovely public restrooms. A neat shaded walk with picnic tables and a gazebo. A beautiful fountain. All in the shadow of the Bell Tower. The park dates back to 1855 when Salisbury native Maxwell Chambers donated the two blocks to the First Presbyterian Church. It's a fabulous open space and Salisbury is fortunate to have it. [Review 1142 of 2024 - 3637 in North Carolina - 22166 overall]

The Market is open every Saturday from 7:00 to Noon between May and October. On the other side of the stage, the Veterans Park includes pillars dedicated to each of the branches of the United States Military with a floating marble sphere (known as a Kugel fountain). The marble has an outline of Earth across it as it spins, floating on a base of water. I'm not sure where you're supposed to park here. There was some sort of small event going on (graduation?) today and it was already tough to find a legal space. [Review 13418 overall, 737 of 2020.]

Clean. Open. Some shaded areas…read more I don't have children or much need for a park but this park is on one of my running routes. It has a quick "trail" that is shaded and always happily welcomed at that point of my run. I am also a huge fan of kids being outside, playing with their parents or other kids. I know that is ridiculously easy of me to say since I don't have any little gremlins of my own running around; however, after spending over a decade in youth development programming, I love to see kids get messy and smelly. I am always excited to see families enjoying this park in one way or another: lunch under the pavilion, playing on the playground or a game of baseball. The facilities, to me, look to be cared for at all times with green grass, safe equipment and clean bathrooms... I don't really see how you can go wrong here. There is a super tiny parking lot and some okay street parking. I "believe" you are able to park at the legion parking lot across the street. The weather is perfect right now for some park time. Keep the pups at home or keep them on their leash as there isn't a dog area here.

The park has a concrete seating area arranged as an amphitheater with its back to Innes Street. It was created through the generosity of Julian and Blanche Robertson. The park features a fountain that replicates the figure Rebecca which stood in the Square in downtown Salisbury in the early 1900's. It is open from 8:00am until sunset. There was a good amount of litter and trash here despite the trash cans. [Review 1132 of 2024 - 3627 in North Carolina - 22156 overall]

I live in Charlotte, where we have close to 100 parks scattered around the city and county. Some of…read morethem are great, some of them are good and some of them need some help. Charlotte's a very big city, certainly much, much bigger than Kannapolis, which is the next big city to the north on I-85. I've been to other cities in the area and Kannapolis definitely stands head and shoulders above them. I want to say "As good as it gets" to the Parks and Recreation Department. These parks are well-kept and they are obviously cared for. There aren't many of them in the city but they are all simply excellent. Kannapolis taxpayers are getting some great value here.
