I can tell that lots of time went into planning this space for the littles to enjoy!

There are Indoor, family and handicap-friendly bathrooms right off the parking lot. We started with the awesome playground. I think it's great for kids between 2- to 7-years old. Older kids may not find it as exciting. There is a special Toddler area with two play Barnes, a music-making area and two toddler swings. I would love if they added extra toddler swings. Yall know how hard it is to get a toddler to take turns, so the line was a little long.This playground also has 4 big kid swings and a handicap-friendly swing. If you follow the trail past the tennis courts, there is another play area with a super-cool climbing theme. It has an actual climbing wall and a climbing structure with a curvy slide. My 3 year old was able to navigate it with a little coaching. We wrapped up the visit with a walk around the trail. It is mostly paved with some gravel areas. We had no problem pushing the kids' wagon around. They added several nice benches throughout the park. They also added location signs for safety. The picturesque bridges would be great for photos. Extra note, you can play Frisbee golf throughout the park, just follow the trail. They have two picnic shelters, one large and one small. There is also a lot of clear, open space. They did a great job with the renovation and we can't wait to go back.

The park offers two baseball fields, a soccer field, a great playground area, and a nice shelter. There is a lot of open green space to use as well. The walking path goes around the entire complex. On a sunny day it's great, but the path floods a bit when it rains. The park was very clean and had conveniently located trash cans throughout. Our first visit was around 5pm so there was tons of shade. We've also been during the middle of the day and the trees still helped out a lot. There are several benches around the playground area so it's easy to relax and keep an eye on your little ones. The playground is equipped for kids of all ages and includes toddler swings. Its learning areas include multiple mazes, sign language boards, letters, shapes, and numbers. The only downfall is the bathrooms. There was no changing station in men's nor women's bathrooms. They were also pretty dirty by the time we got there. For such a family friendly complex, the bathrooms were very disappointing.

My husband…read moreand I attended the opening show of their free summer concert series, and we were in awe of how well-maintained this park is, and how organized our entire experience was. We arrived around 5:30 PM to claim our seats on the lawn, and thankfully we were able to find a parking spot right near the pedestrian bridge across the street. The city posted a very detailed map of parking options on their Instagram page ... and the amazing thing is, not only is all of that parking free, but there is a free shuttle that will take folks back and forth to their spots if they are unable to walk that far (or even if they just don't want to!) The openers started at 7 PM, and then the main act started around 8:15 PM. This gave the crowd plenty of time to get situated in their spots, grab some snacks, hit the restrooms, or even ride the carousel! This was a family-friendly outdoor concert, and they did a great job of having food/drink/activities for both kids and adults to enjoy. A glass of wine or a can of beer was just $5 each ... which felt like a steal since I'm used to spending more than double that for the same pour at other concert venues. The show itself was awesome ... we saw The Fray and they were everything we wanted them to be and more. The sound and lighting were both great. The layout of the park allowed many folks to stay in their folding chairs for the majority of the show, and still be able to see what was going on on-stage. Five stars all around for Village Park and the city of Kannapolis ... more cities should take note of what a great job they are doing here to engage their community!

The problem is the people who visit this park are mostly slobs. Garbage strewn throughout the parking lot all the time. Since the grounds crew aren't on-site all day this can be quite annoying. The new sign at the entrance is too big and blocks your view when driving out of the lot until you are almost on the Main Street. Recently, I have seen marijuana usage as well as condoms in multiple areas of the park. More police patrols are needed and possibly a full time staff to address these issues. Otherwise, it's a quiet park during the week and often crazy on the weekends when baseball and softball fields are in use. Dog friendly as well.

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.
