I find that Charlotte’s parks are full of wonder. Without parks, I think that large cities wouldn't be nice to live in. Parks provide spaces for people to run, have a picnic and go for a romantic stroll. I love parks.

I always appreciate Little Sugar Creek Greenway, where city views and nature mix along every turn. Romare Bearden Park boasts skyline views right in the heart of Uptown. McDowell Nature Preserve offers lakeside trails for weekend escapes. Here are my favorite parks in Charlotte.
