Over some relatively smooth grass, so not completely handicapped accessible. Entrance to the park requires registration with the City of Davidson Police Department where you'll be required to bring a copy of the rabiest vaccination certificate. Inside the fully enclosed park, there are water fountains, shaded areas, places for the humans to sit and even a hiking trail and natural area. It's really pretty darned cool. A few folks have left doggie toys for play. [Review 13409 overall, 728 of 2020.]

Hidden Treasure They…read morehave been able to transform a transmission area into a series of parks and gardens in what would have been otherwise dead land. Great planning and I applaud. You end up with community gardens, childrens play area, nice quiet area to sit and reflect and a very nice dog park. Lexi (Welsh Corgi) and I went to explore today Took a bit of hunting plus a GPS to find the park but well worth it. Ample parking, nice double gate to get in, tennis balls for our furry friends, picknic tables and sitting areas for the humans and a big water dish. Unfortunately it had just stopped raining when we got her so there were no dogs for Lexi to play with. Nice facility otherwise. Strongly suggest as a different place to bring your friendly canine

The very large playground includes a shaded bench for the grownups while the little ones are on one of the two climbing frames or the large swing set. Picnic tables and the pavilion can be reserved. There is a good dog park in the shade that is completely fenced in with regulations posted. It's interesting how much sponsorship they have going here. I think that's great. The companies get their name on a sign and the people of Troutman get a great park. [Review 13836 overall, 1158 of 2020, number 2527 in North Carolina.]

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.

The dog was running and barking, not the lady. The park also has a basketball court and a playground, both of which are roped off for the pandemic. The playground has a great rubber base which is terrific for the little ones who tend to fall down a lot. Note that the parking lot is shared by the nearby church so you may have trouble parking on a Sunday morning. The large picnic shelter is reservable. There is a food pantry here and a Little free library. [Review 13206 overall, 523 of 2020.]

The main feature here is the baseball field that has been completely fenced in and converted into the running space for the large dogs. Shaded in places but with a ton of space for canines to run around. Two separate runs for smaller dogs. What's neat is that each of the dog parks has a separate entrance and exit lobby for safety to ensure that dogs are leashed and secure before leaving the park. Absolutely awesome. The parks have a foot-pump fountain too. This is the neatest park! [Review 15411 overall, 914 of 2021, number 2961 in North Carolina.]

We would certainly use it more!

I am not sure if Lincoln County is keeping up the maintenance on it. This park has multiple multi-sport fields with soccer goals and lacrosse nets on hand. There is a 3/4 mile asphalt path around the fields for running/walking. Kids have a small playground with some swings, merry-go-round, two climbing gyms and slides. There are two dog runs one for big and one for small dogs. Both are devoid of grass and need attention. There is a large outdoor picnic shelter with restrooms and water fountains. Last of all the disc golf course created by some Eagle Scouts just off the edge of the north side of the park. It is well conceived but overgrown and not maintained. I have written the county about the minimal maintenance needed to bring this park up to a great place, and I encourage you to do the same. recreation@lincolncounty.org

This place is fairly decent all-in-all. The staff is great. However, the dog park and bar can have…read moreissues. Some people that frequent the spot, let their dogs become aggressive and don't curb or police them. Others , are blindly yapping away when their animal is pissing and crapping in the play area and fail to clean it up like you are supposed to like us responsible owners do. Most people are friendly but, it is mainly for more than one person. They have TV's but, there is so much activity where they are located that it is hard to focus. If you are alone it can be boring except for the fact your dog is enjoying it (which I guess is the point!) The bar used to be hit or miss but has improved. While a I know this isn't a place you should be going to get tipsy even , I mean I get it , it's a dog park but when I have ordered a shot or two of whiskey with my beer , I was really ripped off more than a couple times by two specific people. The bar manager is great and I think she corrected the light pours, which is great because the alcohol there isn't cheap. I'm not ragging on the bartenders though - all of them are nice and polite. I have only limited experience with the Doggy Daycare and while I don't know what actually goes on back 'there' my dog seemed to be happy when picked up. I will say one of the young ladies who normally checks me in young, with mid-length blonde hair was not very friendly. It was like 8AM and it's Doggy Day Care and isn't cheap , probably be a bit friendlier to the customers. Other than that , it's a decent place to enjoy an afternoon with a beer, or not, while your pup plays and socializes with other dogs. Just wish some owners would be more attentive of their dogs behavior - most are! Recommend checking this place out.
