This place is huge!

Nicely laid out, with good roads and clean and tidy pullouts with marked trails, but road signs could be a bit clearer. A beautiful spot - or at least what little we saw.

My husband recently ran a 5K here and was excited to show me the park. It was my first time and I…read morewas impressed by the cleanliness, plentiful seating and children's playground. 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.

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.

This park has a lot to offer: playground, on the lake, picnic tables, splash pad (wasn't open when…read morewe went), walking path, volleyball court among other things. My daughter enjoyed the playground. There are two play structures, one bigger than the other and a swing set. The bigger one is in need of a few repairs, which is my reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The park is also situated lake front. It has boat access and also a bench allowing for views of the lake. There also seems to be plenty of parking and plenty of covered picnic tables. Overall a great park with unique features to include in our park rotation.
