So many things to do here. Play soccer, walk or ride trails, playground, picnic areas. Love this place

Great for kids to play and beautiful trails around.

Beautiful park with wide, well maintained shady trails for hiking, open fields for sports, and clean bathrooms. Its nice to get a little workout with the elevation changes on the trails without leaving the city! This park also connects to a greenway for longer walks or bike riding.

Great trails! Very friendly atmosphere and plenty of shade even a shaded playground!!

This is a very busy park, especially with after school runners. Parking situation is tricky when due to practices being held. This may be seasonal?

In the last few months, I have been to the mountains of North Carolina several times. Specifically I have hiked around Stone Mountain North Carolina and South Mountain. They were great hikes, but I also wanted a local option. I have been to many of the different parks around Charlotte, and the issue I keep running into, is the trails either have too few sudden elevation changes, or they tried to fit a long trail in such a small area that the trail doesnt feel naturally made. This is not so with James Boyce Park. It is a true hidden gem. Many of the paths are unmarked for the most part. But that is what makes it feel like a adventure to explore. And it feels like your in the foothills, even though you are in the middle of the city. Some parts of the hike actually look like you are in the mountains (the small variety). Additionally, you are far enough away from the main road, that you dont hear cars passing by. If you are looking for a wooded trail, with enough ups and downs, to get your heart pumping, even if your not trail running, and you want a trail that doesnt feel like its going out of its way to make itself longer; If you love that sense of adventure that comes when theres a fork in the path, and your curious where each route will lead next, then James Boyce Park is the place for you.

This would be a five star review if they hadnt ruined the playground a couple years ago w the rather pedestrian and small and boring replacement equipment. But this lark otherwise rocks. Couple ball fields. A soccer field. And tons of nature trails. We ride the trails from our neighborhood to the park. Its a hidden treasure of Charlotte.

Perfect park with shady walking and bike trails- ideal for small picnics - safe for small children- had a nice senior citizen recite a beautiful poem for kids - that was the best part of our day!!!

Its a neat little park, tucked behind the school. If youre looking for a place to burn a couple calories or eat during your lunch hour, I would definitely recommend. Theres a playground, baseball field and public restroom as well as walking trail through the woods. Its very quiet despite the busy area - great place for those working in the area who need a moment to think.

Great space, lots of parking, and connects to the Greenway!

You can get to the Greenway from this park (less crowded, more parking) by following the trail either to the right or left of the fields.

Love this park!

Spent 1/4 of the last 13 years there with 2 dogs, 2 kids and family... It is the perfect small natural forest area for running, biking and walking trails. Enjoy it while you can!

Great place top walk your dog off leash

Good walking trails. Good play equipment

Quiet, serene. Great place to walk.

Very nice park it has 2 softball fields a soccer field walking trails picnic area and 2 play grounds. The park was easy to find and the kids enjoyed their time there.

Great walking trail!

Lovely walking trails

Good access to the Greenway and nice trails to jog.

Loved it. Needs filtered water fountains.

Nice place

Really nice play ground area, a lot of trails to hike, bike, or jog. Has both baseball and soccer fields. Both covered and uncovered picnic areas. Restrooms and water fountains are on site.

Its really nothing to do besides sit around

Chill park, although it could certainly be larger. Need more greenspace in the CLT area

I love the trails. It reminds me a little bit of the local nature preserves but conveniently closer to home when you havent the time to drive out to one of them.

Wooded park, great for walking, running, biking in the shade.

A great place for a quiet walk And part of the causeway

What a park. I like the visit after rain. It was my second time and for sure I will go back... so clean

This is my favorite place for a hike and running. Spring time is very colorful and beautiful.

Its tucked away from bustling traffic!

Great trails and pathway for walks. Small child playground is nice. Baseball fields need a little work but ok. Bathrooms are good. Nice covered picnic area.

Nice quiet park. Baseball field and a nice park. Handicap friendly.

Very quiet, but full of wildlife and beautiful scenery as well.

It so peaceful.

It has ok fields to play on. But it does have a nice bathroom and small playground for kids. If you are looking for a place to kill time at and you are in to sports this is a nice place. It has open fields and lots of land.

Perhaps my favorite small park in Charlotte. Great trails for biking, running, or a walk in the woods. Lots of wildlife as well including deer, raccoon, and tons of frogs.Even better it now connects to McAlpine Park through the greenway.

Peaceful park with great playgrounds, trails & fields. Theres no basketball hoop though.

Lovely place to be with family and friends.

Just a few miles from SouthPark you really feel like you are in the wilderness. Trails are well maintained but better for mountain bike than road bike. Better print a map and take it with you because you wont find them posted along the trails and there are not even any direction signs at most crossings.

Good spot, conveniently located that connects to McAlpine Park and adjoining neighborhoods. Plenty of paved trails and rougher single track, soccer field, playground, and a baseball field. Great place to hang with friends and family or get in a quick run.

Nice park! The field is in good shape and the trails connect you to the much larger McAlpine Creek Park and offer a relaxing walk. Check it out.

Lived in Charlotte my whole life went here today. Great walking trails. Beautiful, lots of wildlife.

Little children love coming here. Its pretty quiet during the week, and the walking trails are the right length.

What a great park. It offers paved waking trials which is great! Well kept grounds.

Love walking the shady trails to this park with my little dog.

Clean and beautiful park/quiet/good for kids & dogs/ are clean .

Awesome trails.

Great paths to walk and train dog. Friendly doggy distractions - bikes, strollers, dogs, people

Kids love the play equipment. The walking trail goes behind my neighborhood. The bathrooms are often non-accessible though.

Part of the McAlpine green way system.

Lovely neighborhood park with big trail system for walking and single-track for hiking and running, also connects to McAlpine creek greenway.

I love this park for the playground, the trails, the bathrooms, and the fields... Great for young children and older alike.

Nice park people need to learn to throw their own trash away.

Great trails. Well maintained facility.

Warning! This is not a safe park to walk your dog.People use this park and ALL of its trails as a free run for their dogs. Dogs are let out of the cars in the parking lot to run free. dogs are running on the trails literally hundreds of feet from their owners. People will not leash their dogs when asked to. This is not a dog park situation where dogs are allowed to be free as long as they are well behaved with the other dogs within the fenced areas. And the my dog is friendly response is an absolutely unreliable answer and potential for fights and injury to the other dog who the owner has on leash by law.

Nice walking area, wooded area

Very nice park

Just a wonderful place with an artificial lake and great trails. I workout there everyday.

A great trail system, ballfields, kids playground, picnic shelters and restrooms.

Great, clean facilities. A great playground with lots of shade

Tucked off Sardis Road and adjacent to Charlotte Prep, this green, inviting space is great for biking, running or dog walks. The trails are well maintained, easily navigated, and lush. Moderate difficulty with decent elevations on multiple paths. Connects to the larger McAlpine greenway. Serene and relaxing.

Open from sunrise to sunset. Has an excellent playground, nature paths, picnic areas, a couple of athletic fields and access to McAlpine Greenway

Trail was in good condition. Also, good weather added to our good time .

Nice spot to run trails and connect to McAlpine Creek Park

Needs some love in the trails and on the field

Wonderful place for all ages and creatures
