I bumped into this little park one night while walking around up town with my dog. Sometimes in the evening, she and I will go check out the people uptown instead of doing our normal neighborhood walk, and it was kind of like finding a secret garden.
While there were a few drunken yuppies wandering through the garden paths, there were lots of really beautiful plants, cute benches to sit, and great things (apparently) for my dog to sniff (who knows what she was picking up on...).
I have since been back several times, both at night and during the day, and I think it's one of the most charming parks in Charlotte. It's not got the rugged flavor of some of the other parks outside of the heart of town, but it's appropriate to be a little more refined in the city's center. It's worth checking out, and if you work uptown, it's a great option for a lunch break!
