There is a small picnic shelter and lots of space for children to burn off energy. The playground base is a soft mulch that's great for when little people fall down as they tend to do. Benches for the adults to sit. The park is fenced with limited entries so that kids can't wander off easily. There is street parking on Main Street or a lot from the Church Street side.

Plus a number of walking trails and a rad looking skate park. Yes, this playground is huge. All fenced in to keep little ones from wandering off.

Lots of runners, walkers, bikers, people with their dogs. It was safe and clean with a few trash bins along the way (always appreciated when I have bags of dog waste to throw out!). Parking lot seemed large enough for a Sunday morning. Dogs enjoyed seeing a little frog for the first time in their lives. We will certainly be back! Finding shaded walking trails for the dogs can be difficult and this was nice. The porta potties could be smelled from quite a distance away so I would avoid those.

This space has a baseball field, basketball court, two tennis courts, picnic shelter, playground and the skate park. The skate park is pretty big with quite a lot of ramps, corners and slides.

The dirt baseball fields has a tall backstop and two caged areas for each teams benches as well as some bleachers on both sides that are behind fencing. [Review 12301 overall, 2085 of 2019.]

And it is right next to the Mooresville Police Department. As such, there will be no shredding or skating here until the pandemic is over. The space s large and the features are in good shape. Lots of rails and bars and ramps to roll up and down. Lots of open space to ensure that no one gets moving all too quickly. Nothing significantly elevated to a point that Tony Hawk would be feeling challenged in any way. But it is cool and it's a near spot. There are some shady spots where you can sit and enjoy watching others. There is plenty of parking. No other services here. [Review 13197 overall, 514 of 2020.]
