Located in Uptown Charlotte, First Ward Park is one of the city’s newest parks, which opened to the public in 2015. The park covers 4.6 acres and the development will eventually include a hotel, office tower and parking deck on adjoining land. The park offers an ideal green space where office workers can escape to during their lunch-hour and families can come and enjoy a picnic. Younger visitors will love the splash-pad fountains in summer and the climbing installation is great all year round. The park hosts regular free music concerts and events – all you need to do is bring your camping chair or a blanket and enjoy the music, the food trucks and the excellent atmosphere.
