Undoubtedly one of my favourite places in charlotte when the current weather is fine. There is some great walking trails which are excellent for taking a jog or walking your dog. It is undoubtedly a great park in the event that you are seeking to take your children-the playground is enormous and extremely creative! There is always people about, so despite it's closeness to uptown it feels quite safe and I never feel uneasy seeing alone at any given time of day.
