The staff at the front desk are super friendly, the locker rooms are spacious and clean, they have a TON of lanes and are never too crowded, and they have a huge tub that is perfect for recovering in. They also have a small gym in the front with cardio and weight machines Perfect location right on the edge of uptown, and at only $45/month, it's a total steal.

Friendly desk staff and swim instructors. Swim classes are cost efficient, fun, and effective!read more

Charlotte keeps surprising me, and Romare Bearden Park is another reason why…read more This park feels like a little oasis tucked among Uptown's skyscrapers. Beautiful waterfalls, striking public art, lush gardens, plenty of seating, and wide walkable paths make it a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the city. The hydrangeas were putting on quite a show during my visit, and I loved discovering the sculptures and learning about the stories behind them. There's something special about hearing water flowing while surrounded by the Charlotte skyline. Whether you're grabbing lunch nearby, taking a morning walk, or simply looking for a peaceful place to sit and reflect, this park delivers. Clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. A gem in the middle of Uptown.

The water feature was such a wonderful surprise! It is gorgeous. I am sure in warmer weather it is even more splendid. This park had stairs and ramps making it easily accessible for all. It was nestled in the middle of a neighborhood. And it was quick to walk through.

Sooooo not too much to really say about this park as it is really somewhere to come if you live in…read morethe neighborhood and just want to take your furry companion out for a short walk - or even get some fresh air! This park is maybe about a 10-20 min walk to the front and back as it is not very big. There is a small garden near one of the entrances depending on where you enter which was really nice. There is also some benches in the middle of the park if you should need to rest your feet. My dog and I came here because I never came to this park before and it was ok. There was a young man playing frisbee with his dog in an open area that I thought was a really cool idea. Since this park is located off of a main road with a really cool neighborhood restaurant nearby - there was a few people walking around (not much). Overall, if your looking for a short walk or an open field to play with your dog - this would be the place for you.

We thought this park looked pretty cool, so we drove over, parked on the road and walked around. It was a nice day and lots of other people were out. We walked around the lake and checked out some of the features like bridges, streams, bridges and an amphitheatre. There was also a playground nearby. All in all, a lovely outdoor space in Charlotte.

(From November 2025)…read more I can't remember how I found this but as I'm driving in Charlotte, my dad and I stopped here to check it out. This is one of the most beautiful parks I've had the pleasure of visiting. There are beautiful views, playgrounds and lawn space for children's play, plenty of parking, trails for walking/bike riding, several bridges, and large trees to compliment the fields. The park is well-kept as everyone here ensures cleanliness and top maintenance. As my dad and I sat down on the bench and soaked in our surroundings, we observed a plethora of activity which included some people flying drones, kids competing in the playground's obstacle course, elderly folks walking, dogs running amok, people racing toy cars, and a few people cycling. The positive energy and vibes were radiant. I'm glad we stopped by here. Definitely worth a visit in Charlotte!

My son has done this camp for 3 years and really enjoys it. Having a brother who is a professional…read morechef, I feel this camp is the closest camp to chef school out there. Students have the option of baking camp (they bring home daily baked goods) or cooking camp. My son did the later. They learn food prep and clean up, how to properly sauté, chop, hold knives etc. They prep the daily lunch that is served for all the students. The bakery group usually sends home daily baked goods with this group in exchange for lunch. The last day parents are invited to feast on all the recipes that the students learned to make throughout the week.

My daughter did this camp and thought it was a waste of time. Unlike other cooking camps where kids…read moremake their own dishes, this is a line cook approach so she would only do a small part of a dish like cutting onions or kneading dough. She said she didn't get to actually cook anything. The instructors cooked which defeats the purpose of a class like this. The foods the classes prepared became lunch for everyone but then my daughter's class had to clean all the pots, pans, silverware, dishes etc. They spent an hour and a half washing dishes daily! For a $600 camp I did not expect that. The students were not allowed to bring home any leftover either (in the savory food camp). I can't recommend this camp.
