Latta Park is a great place to spend an afternoon! This park has something for everyone - basketball courts, playgrounds, walking trails, and picnic tables.
This park really appeals to the residents of the Dilworth neighborhood, as well as individuals living in the greater Charlotte area. There is limited street parking available, so it's possible to drive to the park though I'd suggest walking if possible.
We just walked around the park with our dog, but we saw people enjoying all that the park has to offer. The basketball court seemed to be a big draw with children, families, and adults playing. The playground area is large and inviting. The park offers plenty of shade and seating areas, in case you want to take a break from the action.
