Freedom Park

Nice park with lots of tennis courts. Fresh, clean air, it was quiet when I visited it. I was looking for a wall to play tennis on my own, there is something wooden, which potentially could be used to practice alone, but probably not a great way to play - it doesn't seem to be sturdy enough.

Freedom Park is a wonderful park in Charlotte, and has been my favourite ever since I moved here. It’s located in between Dilworth and Myers Park area. The park is spread around a lake, which has pretty views. The paved trails allow for convenient walking and running. The tennis courts allow for a good way to showcase your tennis skills. At times, I’ve also seen performances and events going on in the park, which provides a good communal feeling of partaking in things together. The Charlotte Nature Museum right next to the park is a fun way to learn about the animals of the Piedmont region, and I’ve been there multiple times as well. It’s worth it. Overall, Freedom Park is a wonderful way to chill, relax, exercise and spend time either alone or with your loved ones. The views are amazing as well. The steam engine in the park is pretty cool too. The swings and the playground area for kids attracts children and families all the year around. The name Freedom Park was bestowed upon it to honour the veterans of World War II. There’s parking available at the Whittington Field entrance.

This park is amazing! I highly recommend going here either by yourself or with your family. There's a little bit of everything for you or the family to do! In one half of the park there's: Tennis & pickleball courts; soccer & baseball fields; A bathroom and drinking fountain an AWESOME obstacle course and pull up bars; a large swing set with (10) regular swings and (4) small child swings; A decommissioned steam locomotive to look at and walk into A good sized park for the kids; In the other half of the park there's: A medium sized lake with fountains where you can fish A long walking/ biking trail An amphitheatre with a beautiful bridge (popular for taking pictures) Many picnic tables for you to eat at; A terraced hill (to sit on or view shows put on in the amphitheatre. There's so many things to do- we can't wait to go back! The bathrooms are a little cleaner than most parks. Beware near the terraced hill, as there's some nasty biting ants- careful where you sit an be step!;
