"This little gem of a spot recently popped back into my mind when I was looking for some fun, free, odd, and, lesser known things to do in Charlotte. It's a bit of a hike through some back roads around the airport/off of i-485, but it's totally worth it at night or in the daytime, I'd imagine. \n\nCame to check it out in the evening and loved it. So many planes landing and taking off, loud engine sounds, lights twinkling, and tons of activity going on around the terminals. Such a peaceful little spot to hangout inside your car with the headlights off and just observe all of the activity. \n\nI noticed a bunch of benches, picnic tables, and a small grassy area with some trees. Makes for a great place to take the kiddos. Beware of the parking area, though. It's a bit rough. Cars lower to the ground may need to take it a bit slower."^^ . "5"^^ . . "6"^^ . .
