Great neighborhood park with a dedicated parking lot…read more The park is well shaded and has a bunch of cool stuff that can help your kids burn off some of that excess energy. The very large playground structure sits on a soft mulch base. Lots of climbing and steps and slides and a bridge to keep kids occupied. There are two separate picnic areas, both have grills. The swingset is in good condition. The restroom structure is open even during the pandemic (thank you!). Six tennis courts are fenced in as well. The gazebo is quite pretty for photos.

There is a short trail in the back of the park, but it's really only good for peeing in the woods or teenagers making out. As far as tennis goes, I'm not a tennis player. I'm just an athlete that plays tennis. I was down 3-0 and 5-2 in the first set and told myself I was going to break his heart and did: 7-5, 6-4, 6-2. He is good opponent, though. The courts here are a little tight but they're very well kept and you can turn the lights on at night and play for a long time.

It was quite busy - not surprising given the mid 80s temps and not a cloud in sight. But I was still able to find some quieter areas. It's nice loop to walk around and there is plenty of seating, benches, trash receptables, plus restrooms. Not sure if there is normally a fee to park/enter, but I did not have to pay on my visit. Highly recommend for a leisurely excursion! @azfitfoodfun

It's in a wooded area so it's a well shaded. There's lots for kids to do and while most of the stuff I will say is geared towards kids five and up there are things for younger kids to do and I do appreciate the handicap swings. Kids younger than three have a very tiny area to play compared to everything else. They're definitely going to be drawn to the main play area, which is bigger and you might have bigger kids running around so that creates a little bit of an unsafe situation when you have a mix of uncoordinated children, and bigger rowdy kids. Even if your kids are bigger doesn't mean that they'll be able to use everything at the park. Some of the things are definitely geared towards balance and coordination so if your kids are not well coordinated or have good balance or can catch themselves if they fall I would stay close by. The other thing I love about this park is that we can bring our bikes and take a ride down to the water and let the kids play by the sanded area. The trails are beautiful and you'll definitely get some good distance in if you're going to go to any of the stops along the trail.

This is a nice park to take kids to for something to do. They had signs saying you shouldn't enter the water in certain places, but people seemed to ignore those. Lots of laughs and splashing heard as we walked around. :) They have several restrooms which were pretty clean for the most part also, which was a good thing. Parking is plentiful, but how close you can park depends on how crowded it is. We were initially directed to an overflow lot but just as we got out of the car, some spaces opened up in the main lot so we were able to move. I believe you can also get on a chartered boat here to go on Lake Norman. Nice place, we will return.

Tactfully situated in between the baseball and soccer fields, there is every type of hole you can think of. Bradford Park was built to host the world's in 2012. It also has a very nice feature, in that you have the choice to play the full 18 (which will take you a while) or to simply loop around for a quick 9 hole experience. There have been a few changes made to it since it's inception for the better. On a side note, bring some discs you aren't afraid of loosing, as there are plenty of places for them to disappear.

I didn't walk the whole thing, but the area we did walk was so serene. There's some creeks and beautiful trees. It also runs right behind a neighborhood so there are backyards right there on the greenway and that was fun to see. There were a lot of people out and about so I felt perfectly safe. I will be back to the spot often!!! So fun and so pretty!

This might be my favorite greenway in Charlotte. Sure, Little Sugar Creek Greenway is great, but…read moreeveryone knows about it and it's usually crowded. This greenway wasn't crowded in the morning when we went. We did 5.4 miles round trip which I believe was the whole greenway, but it connects to other greenways so you could definitely do more if you want. Like many greenways, it passes by houses/neighborhoods. The biggest reason why I love this one is because the houses are gorgeous and so fun to check out as you're walking by. There's plenty of parking at the school if you're there on a weekend. Check it out for your next outdoor activity in the city!

Beatty's Ford Park in Denver is one of those places the whole family looks forward to every summer…read more Situated right on Lake Norman with a beautiful waterfront setting, and the amenities back it up completely. The splash pad is the big draw for the kids and it delivers. They have a swim beach now too with water quality tested weekly, which is reassuring as a parent. There's a fishing pier if you want to wet a line, a boat ramp for those coming in off the water, and a playground with swings that keeps younger ones busy when they need a break from the splash pad. Covered picnic tables, grills, clean restrooms, and a concession stand round everything out so you can genuinely make a full day of it without having to leave. The setting on Lake Norman makes it feel like more than just a neighborhood park. The views are great and the atmosphere is relaxed. Staff have been friendly every visit. The facility is well maintained and it shows that Lincoln County puts real effort into keeping it clean and accessible. Drive is worth every mile. A fantastic spot for families.

Great for picnics, family fun and boating…read more Since we moved to Denver NC from Cornelius two years ago, I've wanted to explore some of the amenities such as Parks. Never was able to find the time however. Today was my chance. Most of my time on Lake Norman and Cornelius and parts of Huntersville are right across the water from this Park. Beatty''s Ford is a very old Road that originated in Charlotte and proceeded up to the Natural Ford on the Catawba River and dates back to before the American Revolution. That disappeared when Lake Norman was filled back in the early 1960"s. Beatty's Ford Road is still there and in Huntersville after it crosses NC Hwy 73, it just ends at waters edge. Had a general idea where it was at but confirmed but pulling up a map online. Not far from where we normally have Sunday Breakfast in an area referred to as Triangle. Does not have as many amenities as some of the other Parks around Lake Norman and generally geared to Families with Children or people looking to put their boat into the water and spend a day cruising Lake Norman. Has a great jungle gym, some very nice Picnic Shelters, Hiking Trails and a goodly number of boat ramps. There is a large outdoor fireplace, and it looks like they had disk golf, but it has not been maintained. It's a relaxing place on the water. You can look down stream toward Cowan's Ford Dam and they two large structures are part of the McGuire Nuclear Plant. A little to the left of that, you are looking at neighborhood called the Peninsular and where we lived in Cornelius was on the water about a mile awsy. When the weather gets cooler, definitely going to pack up a picnic basket and spend some quite time here.

This park was very well thought out there's so much to do for all ages. It's great. It's right by the trees so if it gets too hot, you can go into the tree line and play with some of the things that are installed there. That part is outside of the fenced play area, but kids still go over there. There's benches and slides and bridges for them to walk across. Sometimes, if you're lucky you might even go during one of the times that the stick huts are built. Or you can even have fun building them yourself. The area in general is typically well-maintained. The bathrooms are pretty clean, at least from the time that I've been there. Overall, I would say if you're looking for a park to visit in the area, this is definitely one You should check out.

The very very bleak playground more on bailey road is seriously lame-o. The larger playground outback past the tennis courts was likely great 10 years ago but has been very badly neglected. On the up side it is "under renovations". On the downside the town chose July - sept to do the renovations. Seriously, who plans these things. Kids are off for the summer and your closing for the summer. Another bright side is if and when this place does get a facelift it looks like it'll be pretty neat AND best of all big trees line the area so it's nicely shaded. Another note - weird note- the trees that surround the playground has these trees that drop pussy droplets and then clunk - these hard lime colored and sized things start dropping. I'be only lived here a couple years and have no ideas what they are. Weird choice for landscaping by a playground. After some googling I think they are eastern black walnut trees I'll come back this fall and check the renos out and offer an update.
