I pass this park everyday on my way to work. It is beautifully maintained. There are two fountain areas, a very large field, a climbing contraption and an outdoor workout station.
I think it's great that you can get a full workout with equipment in the middle of CLT uptown.
The park is manicured with bushes and flowers and on sunny days on the weekend people are enjoying the weather and the park.
This would be the perfect spot for a family picnic ... just hop over to 7th street public market and put together the meal!
