Does anyone know of a fun playground in the Charlotte area? We are on the southeast side, but are willing to drive.
Hi K.,
Davie Park on Hwy 51 between Rea and Providence is nice.
It has a big area and lots of stuff to climb on / run through.
There is a terrific park/playground in the Matthews area. It is called Colonel Francis J. Beatty park and it is located off Weddington-Matthews Road. It has a great playground area with really nice equipment as well as picnic areas, a volleyball area (lots of kids use it as a giant sandbox), a big pond with paddleboats, fishing areas, and more. It is definitely worth checking out! Here is a link for you to check it out:

We live in Mint Hill and there are a few great ones around. There is the Park on Wilgrove Mint Hill Road-- I believe it is called The Park on Wilgrove. Also, there is Idlewilde Park and Rec on Idelwilde Road-- some of it is under construction -- which means new equipment-- but a large portion is good to use-- plus-- has lots of shade!

Yes, Wilgrove Mint Hill PArk On Wilgrove Mint Hill road near Truelight Church is great. Fairview is also nice. Wilgrove is more treed with a walking path and fields. Fairview is more open near the play areas but has a cover during hot months. There is also a trail through the woods there to walk. Many Moms groups meet at both parks. I live in Mint Hill so I frequent those parks too.
