They have a three story parking deck (free!) and a ground level overflow lot. Both are accessible from South Boulevard. The platform is elevated, so you might want to consider taking the elevator or feel free to climb the stairs if you feel fit. There is a ticket vending machine on the platform, but you may want to use one of the two that are in the garage if there is a line. Not a whole lot of cover on the platform, so if it's wet or windy or cold, I'd suggest waiting in the garage until the train gets ready to leave.

There is plenty of free parking at the station, both in lots and in a garage. It's about a 30 minute ride to uptown. It's way easier and cheaper than trying to drive and park in the city. This is the way to go!

White the Gold Line originally used heritage-style streetcars when phase one opened in 2015, the…read morelaunch of phase two in 2021 brought with it a transition to modern, low-floor streetcar vehicles that offer better accessibility, air conditioning, and smoother boarding. These new cars look much like the same cars as are used on the Blue Line that runs from 485 to UNCC. The streetcars are clean and modern, with wide windows that make the ride feel open and connected to the city around you. It's convenient, especially if you're heading to Uptown or the hospitals along Elizabeth Avenue. The wait times between cars are usually reasonable but there's a small catch: there aren't any digital signs or audible announcements at the stops to tell you when the next streetcar is coming. I've found that Google Maps is helpful since it tracks the vehicles in real time and helps you estimate when to be at the platform. Once on board, it's a smooth, quiet ride that feels more like gliding than commuting. [Review 1436 of 2025 - 4507 in North Carolina - 24987 overall]

The drivers are friendly and the colors are probably the most adventurous and memorable of any of the trams I've seen in North America and there are quite a few. I didn't even know that Charlotte had one until I saw it chugging along one day while I was getting food. I made it a point to ride on the thing, and I have finally made that dream a reality. It's not San Francisco, but then Charlotte doesn't have all those hills (or pills) so just the existence of the tram is a huge reason for happiness.

The trail runs for a good distance from the North side of Uptown, through Uptown.

This could be early mornings, midday, afternoon or evening. It's a great space in Charlotte.

I've been a long time patron of Amtrak going back to the early 90's…read more I was living in Raleigh at the time and would commute to Charlotte regularly. I lived in DC for 15 years and had access to Amtrak on the Washington Metro Rail and Virginia Railway Express was so easy. Sometimes I would take the VRE to Washington Union Station and from there you can go anywhere in the US that has Amtrak service. My preference was the Acela high speed train to NY or to Boston. A next level experience and a hint of what high speed rail might be one day in the US. All this to say, I was back at the CLT Amtrak station to p/u James who took the train from Raleigh. There are now 8 (eight) trains to/from CLT & RDU. It was 'close' to on-time as well. Only about 10 minutes late which is not bad considering multiple stops. The CLT Transport authority is working on the new Uptown Station which remains under construction. It will connect with the Lynx line as well as the Trolley. CLT has waited a long time for this vision to become reality. I took some photos which are posted on the Yelp site and you can see, it's spartan. It's not changed much in 25 years. The biggest changes is the new Starbucks that's across the street.

Since we are traveling as a family, it's nice that there are areas where we can sit in a four seater spot so I'm together with my brother and mom. Looking forward to getting to Greensboro safely!

Very helpful. I detected some open wi-fi signals though I didn't try to connect to them. This could be helpful if you're here in the evening waiting for a train. You can SEE the darned thing just up the way, but it's NOT MOVING! That's a little frustrating. Overhead announcements tell you about the next train going north, but the next station is the last one, so don't even bother. Southbound doesn't get that same warning, only when the train is immediately inbound.

There's a Quizno's on the corner but not much else that is in the immediate area. There is only one ticket machine on the platform, at the north end. It does make change.

At night, the back of the parking lot is VERY dark, so be aware of your surroundings if you're not able to find a spot closer to the front and under a street light. Tracks are crossed at track level, so don't be an idiot. Please pay attention when you're crossing the tracks.

The platforms for this station are fully handicapped accessible. There are some benches with a small amount of cover available. The platforms are on opposite sides of the tracks, so the doors of the train will open on the right side. There is no parking here other than some street parking, which for the moment isn't metered or marked very well. Parkwood is between 9th Street (towards uptown) and 25th Street (towards University).

Extending the Blue Line all the way to UNCC might have seemed excessive, but the success of the first segment really warrants the growing city's demand for public transportation. This station has some new neighbors! Most notably Optimist Hall. The way the track curves (you do go past it) but its a smart 1-2 minute walk. With the ongoing construction, it's probably not the most glamorous walk to get there, but the new apartments and other improvements will surely make the area a bustling hub of activity. Just like the other Lynx stations, the themes were designed by local artists. Plenty of bike rack locations (to encourage multi-modal forms of getting around). With everyone moving to Charlotte, it's actually really refreshing to not have to get in a car to get somewhere.
