The Best Public Parks in Charlotte

We really enjoyed Freedom Park. There was 2 nice play areas which provided plenty of fun for my son and I. There were also a lot of greenery + walk ways. We enjoyed sitting in front of the water looking at the trees. There are also a lot of dogs in the park if you enjoy them people were friendly enough to let us pet them. There was a lot of parking and plenty of place to sit and have a picnic on warmer days. The park was really clean as well. Overall nice park.

I love this park. I work literally one street over from this park and it is such a multi purpose place that on any given day you will find something going on here. I walk this park on my lunch break a couple times a week while I listen to my music in my headphones and its like I'm in another world. This park is such a beautiful place to be at any given time of the day. Its a beautiful place to go and have fun with the family or have a romantic date with your s/o. I would recommend anybody to go to this park at least once if you never been, because if you go, I promise you will come back cause you will fall in love with this park.

We love the dragonfly trail around the lake. Our 4 and 2 year old can walk the entire thing without getting too tired. Pack a picnic and eat on the dock or in the woods. Either way, stress is reduced, kids are entertained, and it's free. Can't beat that. Plus, you can bring your dog. Fun for all. We try to go as often as we can. Our kids call it Adventure Park . Multiple playgrounds, fields, disc golf courses, trails to choose from. A dog park and many picnic areas. Get a map to see all the parking and activity options. Do make sure to lock your car, though. Put valuables out of site. Be smart.
