Huntingtowne Farms Park is a small, attractive park along the Little Sugar Creek Greenway. This dog-friendly park has a picnic shelter, a playground, a basketball court, a multi-purpose sports field, and two tennis courts. This is a great place to take the family for a relaxing afternoon in Charlotte, North Carolina.

This quaint little park along the greenway features an observation platform over the marshes and the sculpture STEM by John Grade. STEM was inspired by the movement of water through plant stems, and encourages the viewer to look at familiar nature from a different perspective. There is ample street parking by the greenway.

Lake Wylie Cove is a scenic cove on Lake Wylie, a great photo opportunity, or spot for a break. Enjoy this bit of the 325 miles of Lake Wylie's shoreline.

Town Commissioner's purchased several lots near the Square from William Davidson In 1819 for $125. The lots were set aside for a church and this cemetery. Thomas Polk, wife Susan and son-in-law, Nathaniel Alexander rest here. Nathaniel Alexander was a surgeon-general in the Revolutionary Army as well as a member of the General Assembly for the New State Congress. This rest place also holds the unique characteristic of being a Slave's cemetery.

Charlotte is home to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Some say that auto racing started right after the second car was built, but NASCAR Racing started right here in the Carolinas. Racing started in this area as bootleggers would run moonshine to and from the mountains. And of course, they had to make their cars faster and better than the police cars. So now we have the NASCAR hall of fame and this is a great way to highlight the wonderful contributions NASCAR has made, not only to here in the Carolina's but to the Sport industry as well.

Centrally located park with gardens, games and events area. Opened in 2013 and named after the painter, author and songwriter Romare Bearden (1911-1988). Unveiled at the park in 2017, the welded stainless steel Spiral Odyssey sculpture is an eye-catching work of art, nearly 30 feet tall and weighing about 8,000 pounds. The artist, Richard Hunt, was a contemporary of Romare Bearden. The two were the first African American artists to have solo shows at the Museum of Modern Art in 1971. beardenfoundation.org/spiral-odyssey-sculpture-unveiled-at-the-romare-bearden-park

This 19-mile greenway runs south from Charlotte to the South Carolina border. Along the way it follows its namesake creek through several parks and Charlotte suburbs. The trail becomes more tree lined the further you get from the city, ultimately coming to an end at the state border near Pineville, North Carolina.

A beautiful shady trail along the creek side with several memorial benches. This bench, dedicated to Jodie Sawyer, is my favorite place to take a break!
