I came in today to buy some local postcards to mail to my out-of-state friends. As I entered I was…read morepromptly greeted by an employee that was super friendly. I looked around the entire center. It was clean and very modern. They had displays placed around the center attempting to highlight some of the area's points of interest. Everything was tastefully done. I was even given a free tote bag with a local interests book and a bunch of goodies inside. The center goes a little too heavy on the race car theme. It overshadows the other county offerings. I got a dozen postcards that feature the Cabarrus County Courthouse. I can't wait to mail them!

Also, if you're visiting the Concord area and are looking for a little souvenir I'd recommend this place. They have some pretty neat t-shirts and other items from local businesses.

The center always has all the most current information about what is happening in the city and upcoming events. The also have several copies of the Charlotte Happenings magazine and another local magazine. I've seen some of the events they host outside their center and they really showcase the city in a great way. My favorite event was the Chef Alyssa's Kitchen demo they hosted. All of the employees inside the visitor center are super helpful and knowledgeable. The visitor center isn't very big but it packs a big punch. One of my favorite items it has is the candles from Doc Porters. They run out so you have to check in often to see if they have any. I recommend popping in anytime your downtown and need to know what's happening in the city!

They even have some walking trails through the woods if you want to do that. This rest stop is on Highway 421 near Wilkesboro and it's a great place to stop. The "No overnight parking" is a concern. Do they really expect people to keep driving when they're tired at night? That's a bummer and why I can't possibly rate it at five stars.

Nicely laid out, with good roads and clean and tidy pullouts with marked trails, but road signs could be a bit clearer. A beautiful spot - or at least what little we saw.

It was quite busy - not surprising given the mid 80s temps and not a cloud in sight. But I was still able to find some quieter areas. It's nice loop to walk around and there is plenty of seating, benches, trash receptables, plus restrooms. Not sure if there is normally a fee to park/enter, but I did not have to pay on my visit. Highly recommend for a leisurely excursion! @azfitfoodfun

It's in a wooded area so it's a well shaded. There's lots for kids to do and while most of the stuff I will say is geared towards kids five and up there are things for younger kids to do and I do appreciate the handicap swings. Kids younger than three have a very tiny area to play compared to everything else. They're definitely going to be drawn to the main play area, which is bigger and you might have bigger kids running around so that creates a little bit of an unsafe situation when you have a mix of uncoordinated children, and bigger rowdy kids. Even if your kids are bigger doesn't mean that they'll be able to use everything at the park. Some of the things are definitely geared towards balance and coordination so if your kids are not well coordinated or have good balance or can catch themselves if they fall I would stay close by. The other thing I love about this park is that we can bring our bikes and take a ride down to the water and let the kids play by the sanded area. The trails are beautiful and you'll definitely get some good distance in if you're going to go to any of the stops along the trail.
