Thompson Park is a small (3.3-acre) urban green space located in Charlotte’s Central Region. This is not a park for noisy ball games and shouting children, but rather a place for quiet reflection as you walk through the poignant Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which lists the names of all local men who gave their lives during the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1972. You can also take some time to admire the historic St. Mary’s Chapel which dates back to 1892. Thompson Park also offers access to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, a 5.9-mile paved trail suitable for walking, running, jogging and cycling.
