McAlpine Creek Park is a 114-acre Mecklenburg County park that offers a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities for local residents and visitors alike, including Ray's Fetching Meadows, the first off-leash dog park overseen by the county's Parks and Recreation Department. An outdoor fitness center is offered at the park, along with five fields for soccer and a court for playing horseshoes. Visitors can also enjoy a fully-stocked three-acre lake with fishing pier access, along with a two-mile bicycle trail and a 1.5-mile nature trail for walkers and joggers. A 5K championship cross-country running course connects the park to nearby James Boyce Park and Campbell Creek Greenway, with competitive races held throughout the year.
