The shelter has one…read morepicnic table under it and the playground is on a bed of wood chips and its equipment consists of a bank of traditional/toddler swings and a medium sized jungle gym with some slides, bridges, a rock climbing wall, monkey rings, and canopies. The equipment is a bit aged but still in excellent shape. The park is well maintained. It is at the end of a dead end street. It does not have a designated parking lot but you can easily park on the dead end street and the playground is right there. The park is well maintained, but I could not help but notice there was a lot of dog barking coming from the houses that border the park. It almost sounded like a kennel and was very annoying. The park's best feature by far is its green space. It has a vast amount of open field to do just about anything from playing soccer, football, flying a kite, having a picnic or just running around. The field is bordered by White Lick Creek, which I did not see an easy spot to access from the field. to get to it you would have to jump down a tall embankment. And good luck getting up. I am not saying there is no access from there. I just did not find it. This may not be a destination park, per se, but I would come here for the huge field. It is kind of tucked away in the neighborhood and you really have to know where you are going in order to find it. It can easily be passed by.

The newest of Mooresville's city parks is located in a flood plain area along the White Lick Creek…read more The entrance to the park is located on a dead end extension of Wind Song Trail in a neighborhood to the south west of N Rooker Road and SR 144. The park itself is about 18 acres of barely developed property. The elevated area near the park entrance has a limited play ground which is in pretty good shape. It also has a nearby shelter. However, there is only a single picnic table, garbage can, and no restroom or grill for cooking. For such a limited area, there was plenty of trash laying on the ground. The park does have appeal for those who are creative and need space to run and play their own games. The majority of the park is mowed and has large flat areas high enough above the river level that I imagine it stays dry most of the time. Along the west side of the park is the White Lick Creek which is lined with numerous trees and undergrowth. Some single person pathways have been worn through the brush and generally follows along near the river. There appears to be several access points to the trail which are not marked, but can be found with a bit of effort. During the June morning I went, the undergrowth raked against my skin and the mosquitoes made it necessary to keep moving. Obviously, this is not a trail that is maintained, but is simply one worn by hikers. So, unless you want to take a long hike in the wooded area or bring your own games with which to play, there isn't a lot of activity for park users beyond the playground. Review #307

Past photos drew me in, when looking for a park close to my children's school. Sometimes I need to pass some time with one child while the other attends an after school club. This park is closest and the pirate ship looked really cool. However, it is now missing it's slide and ladder and the inside is full of trash. Another structure is missing stairs and ladders and seems to have half of a broken climbing structure bolted to it in an attempt to create a makeshift way to climb up and be able to access the slide. However there is a dangerous large gap that a small child could easily fall thru. The entire structure is also obviously not set down far enough into the ground, much of it's grounding type stakes way above ground still, causing the slide to also end at a height dangerous for young children. The ground and landscaping is all torn up, large tree roots exposed and surprise holes throughout. It's not safe for children running around like they typically would on a playground.

The park as a picnic shelter with picnic tables under it and a grill right outside of it. They also have a community room where you can hold special events such as parties, meetings, or seminars. There is tons of parking available here, There is also a huge field here that you can play football, soccer, catch, fly a kite, or have a picnic. At the far end of the field is a raggedy baseball backstop and the remnants of a ball field. You will however, find a decent full basketball court here. I could see myself making it rain with 3s here. The park does have a decent paved walking/running path. It is not very far though. I would say it is a quarter to a half of a mile. There are benches placed along the path. There use to be a picnic table by the playground, but now it is just a pile of wood. The playground is ok, but could be so matter better. It has a see-saw with one of the seats missing, an old school merry-go-round, a bank of traditional swings, a larger kid jungle gym with a geo-dome, and slide and a jungle gym for the smaller kids that also has a slide. There is a nice zig-zag balance beam and my favorite equipment over in the play area are the wooden pirate ship with slide and the wooden pickup truck with the slide coming out of its cargo bay. They look old and worn though. I bet in their early days, they could not keep the kids off of them. The playground area is lined with wood chips, like many of the older ones are. With a little maintenance, this could easily be a five star park. There is a small restroom structure at the park. The park is s connected to the Brooklyn Elementary STEM Academy grounds by a footbridge. and is located right in front of the Brooklyn waste water treatment facility, I was wondering what that peculiar aroma was in the air and I found it. Pewww wee!!! Anyway, this park still has some utility left, but is coming up on its last leg. There is still enough there to entertain the little ones for a bit, and you can walk on the track or play on the field here in peace. Most little kids are not playground snobs and worry about how old equipment is anyway. All they care about is that it works. I would recommend bringing them here if you are in the area with some time to kill or just driving through.

They also have a few horse shoe pit and a covered pavilion with grills and electricity that normally has picnic tables under it. You can rent the pavilion. It costs $65 for Brown Township Residents and $120 for Non-Residents. Looking at past photos and comparing it to mine looks like the pavilion was downgraded from previous construction. There is also a playground with some older playground equipment. They have swings and a steel marry go round. There is even an old school metal slide. I am sure it is fun on a hot sunny day......ouuuchhhh! The park has restrooms available and a building right off of the playground that I have no idea what it is used for. This is a good neighborhood park and has low traffic. It would not plan a trip around this park, but if you are local with some time to pass this would be a nice spot to do so.

The playground area is small. It is lined with wood chips and the equipment consists of an octagon shaped money bar, some traditional and toddler swings. The equipment is in pretty good shape. At the far end of the park, you will find a baseball field. The field has seen better days, but would do for a neighborhood pick up game or batting practice. It does not have a bench area and the bases are not even marked. The highlught of this park by far is its athletic fields and green space. There is room to play just about any outdoor sport here. I will admit that the fields are not at an organized team quality, but good enough for practice or a local pick-up game.

This is a fantastic, family-friendly pool…read more I signed up my girls for swimming lessons here at the beginning of the season. The classes are led by lifeguards, who all seem quite kind, but my little ones really love their swim coach, Holly. They've done extremely well under her instruction, moving from level 1 up to level 3 within a month. We've since had a handful of pool days here and really enjoyed everything this pool has to offer. The lifeguards are all highly attentive, especially in the diving well and slide areas. Parents are allowed to take their little ones down the large slide with them, and that has provided a lot of fun for my toddler grandchildren when they join us for a pool day. There are a lot of lounge chairs surrounding the pool, so you're sure to get a seat. Getting to the pool early in the day ensures you get a prime spot. I like to sit between the 2 pools so I can keep an eye on all my kids when I'm not in the pool with them. I also have a good view of my girls on the diving boards and water slides. There are so many amenities here. A nice sized baby pool, 2 shaded picnic areas, and a shaded play area full of Little Tike type houses and equipment next to the baby pool. There's the large pool, but then another pool that's perfect for families with both infants, toddlers, and smaller children who aren't quite ready for the big pool but also have outgrown the baby pool. 3 waterslides, a diving board, and a splash pad. The snack bar is reasonably priced, and the food is decent. Mooresville Family Aquatic Center has become our absolute favorite place to have pool days. The swim lessons have really boosted their abilities and confidence, and they are quite proud to finally be able to ride the water slides and jump off the diving board like big kids.
