You'll find a large dog park here, some basketball courts, tennis courts and soccer fields. I walked about 3 miles, taking one branch that led to the Bank of America stadium and the Carolina Panthers training facility. There's a good deal of shade along the trails thanks to the trees. I saw a lot of Robins in and along the park trail. Frazier Park is a nice place to enjoy a walk while in the urban area of Charlotte. I enjoyed my walk there. I'll be back if I'm in the area again.

They had tennis courts and basketball courts. So much to do! People were out and about being active, walking dogs. I followed the under the bridge and that was pretty cool, there's a little stream and nice scenery. It was really peaceful on a semi-chilli day. I'll definitely be back to walk around and see the sights!

The playground also very accommodating for toddlers since they have different play ground activities that accessible for them. This park also has basketball court and walking trails. Pretty cool park to visit for fun play, fresh air, and nice walking trail. This playground has public bathroom but because it's public bathroom the cleanliness was not monitor properly.

The asphalt trail continues west and then south from here to Lookout Park. It's very cool. The playground is top notch. It is entirely fenced in to keep the little ones from wandering off. The equipment is clean, modern and looks like fun for ages up to around 12 or so. Small slices, climbing frames, swing sets and the like. All in bright colors that immediately appeal to little ones. Note that the trail is open and the park will reopen after the COVID issues are clear. [Review 13056 overall, 373 of 2020.]

I found a trail at this park on AllTrails and it looked nice so we decided to check it out…read more The beginning of the trail was really nice. It goes through a wooded area and down to the river. Then the trail suddenly becomes a disc golf course. Now the disc golf course seemed really nice, but I wouldn't recommend hiking a disc golf course. You're just in the way if people are playing. There's a nice lake later in the course. Overall, I'd recommend it for disc golf or maybe just to hang out at, but I wouldn't recommend walking through the disc golf course like AllTrails recommends.

On our park tour of the city we landed at Idlewild Road Park. This park is amazing. We only visited…read morethe playground area but loved it. The playground equipment is so cool. They have a bunch of really nice pieces I have never seen before. The playground is also huge. There is so many different areas to choose from. The only bad part is one piece of equipment isn't safe. My nephew decided to play incorrectly on the 4 person see saw piece and his foot got scraped up pretty bad. Make sure that your kids don't try to ride/sit/stand on the middle piece of the see saw. There were two groups grilling out at two different shelters close to the playground. They both surrounded the playground. The one thing that impressed me the most was how clean the restroom was. The restroom is super close to the playground too which is very convenient. This park is kinda far from me but I will definitely make the trip out here for the nibblings.

The park itself had disc golf in the trails (which you can walk through without playing), soccer fields, plenty of parking, and bathrooms.

Fields are surrounded by fencing. Restrooms did not seem to be maintained throughout the day so as the day wore on, and more people were using it, it was a mess - no toilet paper, dirty messy floors, a couple of toilets needing maintenance. Not pleasant at all. There's only one restroom building and for our tournament, there was always a line at the women's restroom. Parking was horrendous. For any other regular event, there's probably enough parking but for this tournament it filled up quickly by 8am and people were starting to park in the grass. The Park officials announced during the tournament that anyone parking on the grass will be towed. They did suggest other parking areas on a gravel path that were still pretty limited. If you're there for a big event, just get there early enough to park.

Stumbled upon this park after visiting Glencairn. This park is adorable! It's a tiny little…read moreneighborhood park and although it's near a major road the entire park is fenced in so felt completely safe. The main play area is padded and it's a really great park for toddlers, babies and maybe the 10 and under crowd. Older kids might be a little bored since the play equipment was pretty basic, but again, great for young kids. There are benches, some swings and a small slide. Lots of good area to run around in but not quite big enough for an organized sporting event. Just a good old fashioned neighborhood pocket park. **Be warned, dogs are not allowed

Stopped by for the Perfect Game tournament. It's a cute little park with ample parking spots…read more There's a statue in the center of the drop off area which is a nice touch. Tournament was delayed by two hours due to rain. When we arrived the fields looked great and there was ample space to set up your own seating. A few trips were made to the bathroom by my group and no complaints. At one point, one person when to the concession stand to see what was on the menu as we were starting to get hungry. Come to find out that even though teams were still playing, the concession stand had closed. Most places would make an adjustment to their schedule for delayed tournaments to ensure they stayed open during the last games. This may be an external group that runs them, and I get it, it's just tough to corral hungry children and convince them they'll be fine for awhile longer.

We got food down the street at Burgers and Barley and brought it to this park to eat…read more When we drove in, I noticed many signs about social distancing. People seem to be completely ignoring the signs because the park was incredibly crowded and no one was social distancing. Luckily, we were able to find a secluded picnic table to sit at and eat our lunch. It seemed like a nice park and I would have loved to stay and walk around on some of the trails, but I wasn't comfortable doing that considering how crowded it is. I'd recommend trying to find a less popular park than this one if you're just trying to spend some time outside.

I really like that this park connects to the South Fork Catawba River Greenway. It's pretty short, but a nice walk. It also connects to the town of Cramerton and another section of the Carolina Thread Trail down by the Catawba River. I'm sure the park itself is also really nice when it's not under construction. I definitely recommend checking out the trails that connect to it too.

The park has been open since 2012 and is in excellent condition. The park is 30 acres with hardwoods, vegetation and wetlands. It gets the interesting name from the town's founder, Stuart Cramer, who released goats onto the island to control the weeds dating back to as early as 1910. There is a good amount of parking near one of the cool pedestrian bridges and at one of the trailheads. [Review 12586 overall, 2378 of 2019.]
