(From November 2025)…read more I can't remember how I found this but as I'm driving in Charlotte, my dad and I stopped here to check it out. This is one of the most beautiful parks I've had the pleasure of visiting. There are beautiful views, playgrounds and lawn space for children's play, plenty of parking, trails for walking/bike riding, several bridges, and large trees to compliment the fields. The park is well-kept as everyone here ensures cleanliness and top maintenance. As my dad and I sat down on the bench and soaked in our surroundings, we observed a plethora of activity which included some people flying drones, kids competing in the playground's obstacle course, elderly folks walking, dogs running amok, people racing toy cars, and a few people cycling. The positive energy and vibes were radiant. I'm glad we stopped by here. Definitely worth a visit in Charlotte!

We thought this park looked pretty cool, so we drove over, parked on the road and walked around. It was a nice day and lots of other people were out. We walked around the lake and checked out some of the features like bridges, streams, bridges and an amphitheatre. There was also a playground nearby. All in all, a lovely outdoor space in Charlotte.

This probably makes the park little used, but open and available for your little ones and they won't get crushed in a crowd. The park also includes a few picnic tables under a shelter to eat lunch with Jr., and plenty of free parking on site. The playground has woodchips instead of sand for a cushion, so the kids don't get sand in their eyes ... a nice feature. This little hidden park is hardby one of the Greenways, and you pass the park when traveling the Greenway. Sort of hard to find, since it is buried in a residential neighborhood, but that's what keeps it a hidden gem. Recommended.

The map suggests that Wyanoke Avenue goes through the park. It does not. There is street parking and please be respectful of the folks who live here.

Multiple play areas, including a covered shelter, and you might get lucky and have a train go by. It was nice to walk to the back of the park area and look out onto a stream. One of the street art place making projects the city sponsored is at the entrance and another is just a couple of blocks away at an entrance to a greenway path. A few swings, plenty of slides, and even some rock climbing knobs to get up to the two tallest slides. Perhaps it was because we were cooped up with the pandemic and this was only the second park we visited, but went with our older daughter and returned the next day with her younger sister too.

There are cement prints of butterflies throughout the park as well. I have driven past one of it's entrances (near Ru San's) for years and had been curious where it goes. Today I solved that mystery. If you are looking for a quiet park, this makes the short list. It's a clean park with a playground for the kiddos, tennis court, 1 basketball hoop, a mini sandbox, and a rotunda. It would be ideal for a family party or picnic with friends. Plus, there is plenty of open space to throw a frisbee or play catch with your pooch. I just adore parks and this one was a pleasant surprise.

There is a nice playground (out of service because of COVID, August 2020) that is in the shade with some seating for the adults who are supervising.

The Campbell Creek and McAlpine Creek Greenways connect James Boyce Park to McAlpine Creek Community Park. The shelter can be reserved online.

The park is a great option once the McDowell Nature Preserves park and playground closes. You can quickly head over to the Palisades park and let the kids finish playing. That's exactly what some friends and myself did. The playground equipment is very modern with an old school rocking horse available for smaller kids. I was very impressed by the different pieces of playground equipment. I believe it's ideal to go to this park when school isn't in session because the playground equipment is used by the school. If no one is at school the parking lot is huge and ideal for scooters, bikes and other toys like that. Palisades Park 15321 York Rd Charlotte, NC 28278 Monday December 30, 2019 5:30pm
