A nice neighborhood park between two segments of Barcliff Drive. The eastern, or southeastern,…read moresegment of Barcliff Drive (in the Four Seasons neighborhood) is the official entrance. Unfortunately for folks who live one the west side (along the Vernedale Road corridor), the park - and greenway - is legally not accessible as of 1/1/25 even though there is a narrow footpath that leads in around the metal barricade (left side). A slither of land at the end of this street is still private property. Hopefully, Mecklenburg County can acquire this tiny parcel soon.

The park is 21 acres and features a lovely walking wooded trail, horseshoe pits (those are rare!) and a picnic shelter. The playground is quite nice with a great climbing frame and three slides. The ground is a little hard but that's the way it is. When I was here, the park was completely open and accessible. I don't know if it has since been closed for the pandemic.

Nice and soft for little ones to accidentally fall on. The play area is surrounded by a walking path and there are a number of benches for the groundups to sit. There is a pretty gazebo if you're looking to relax and picnic. I enjoyed it! [Review 13113 overall, 430 of 2020.]

The main feature of the park is the center fountain which honors the legacy of Veterans and the branches of the US military. On display and under glass are the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights, just as they are on display in the National Archives Rotunda in Washington. The park is in a corner of the Harris Square Shopping Center. [Review 13187 overall, 504 of 2020.]

This is a great place to take small children to run out their energy or have a picnic. There's a…read morefountain that changes colors at night time, there are bench-swings, there's ample grass/space to run, play with toy trucks, cars, etc. Its well-kept and clean every time we go! I enjoy coming here with my family. And at Christmastime, they put up a big, beautiful tree in the center of the grass area, it's really bright and cheerful!!! This isn't so much a park for kids if they're wanting to slide or partake in a playground. I would say this is good for family meetings, picnics, a quick walk, or if you need to get some fresh air. It also has some awesome facts and information about our country's history, hence the name, which is really interesting and cool to tell your kids about/help them learn important dates, etc. I do recommend this place, but obviously watch your kids!! It's right by the busy highway in Harrisburg, and a parking lot on the other side, so stay close to your kids and keep an eye on them if you go.

The corporate area has areas to eat, work and play in. There are some amazing places to eat and range from small eats to fine dining.
