My favorite place in Charlotte to just hang out or go for a walk. The part is located in a very cool area with some amazing houses. I brought my family here when they were visiting and got to see my nephew play in the nursery. Very friendly folks everywhere and if you are visiting on a game night walk over to the soccer field and you might get to watch a fun game :).
Also take the side route into the nature museum and walk along the path, very woody and relaxing!
