Nice little park with a light waterfall and uptown buildings. Park was lit for the festive season and was beautiful. Take a stroll, sit and relax.

Really feels like its in the heart of Uptown Charlotte - great views of the city, plenty of green space to play fetch with your dog / have a picnic, and great for any photographers too

The park is not huge but the view of the city is great! Lots of friendly faces in the park through out the day. A nice area inside the city with some drink and food options surrounding it.

This is a really nice park in the center of downtown Charlotte. Its got a pretty cool waterfall fountain that changes colors at night. There are also a lot of different types of scooters you can rent around the area. Its got a grass Courtyard in the center if you want to sit down and unwind. There is also a lot of restaurants thats around it.

It was a great day of positive gathering to vote. Great speakers and lots of socially distancing. The march to The Spectrum Center was inspirational and Invigorating. Movement to vote was very smooth and fast.

Really liked it here with the green space and well lit walk ways. The local crowd can get a little crazy but overall lots of families our playing by the fountain.Parking is limited and you need to pay to park. Check the website for more details but I think parking after 9 is free.There are also some late night eating spots next to the park.Try and take a few minutes and lay down to watch the city skyline in the dark. It’s very relaxing.

Clean. Middle of downtown with great views. Limited seating. Quite a few dogs around. Seems like the place for city skyline view and pictures. Fireworks on certain nights as well.

Its so peaceful and serene in the morning between 9am and 11am when Im there, 2 mornings out the week. Lots of seating and shaded areas. The robins and thrushes come near to be fed and I have a mix of unsalted roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds readily available for them, in which they truly love. In the evenings there is way too many people with vibes and energy and spirits not too common with peaceful meek individuals as myself.

Im not a smoker but I have noticed that it is not allowed in the park. You can bring your dog there to take a du.p and thats ok. I wouldnt want to sit in that grass if I was paid too. Is this acceptable?The city should rethink that rule.Sure, people pick it up, but how about the residue?

I didnt go there. I parked on the street. But it reeks the smell of urine! Maybe from dogs or possibly the homeless who use it as a hangout. It looks nice though.

Review №29

A very well designed park in Uptown. Its two-tiered, which breaks the space up and keeps it from being just a grass lot in the middle of the city. Charlotte would make the space better for its residents if they got on people for not picking up after their dogs. At times it can feel like walking through a minefield, which makes it hard to fully enjoy the open space.

Beautiful park in the city surrounded by the skyscrapers. Loved the gardens.

Review №31

Small park. There are many homeless people, as a result of this, in many places it smells of urine, the grass is yellow, and there are many dry plants that clearly need care. To be honest, I expected more.

Nice wide-open green spaces. Beautiful location in the heart of the city. Tranquil water fountains, but was disappointed the waterfall features wasnt operating. Gorgeous park for pictures with landscaping and skyline views.

So we love this park, for the most part. It was so nice to come back to the hotel, walk over to it, and just relax. It was nice to see al the families and couples out all over. The park for the most part was clean. It had areas to take plenty of photos at. It is dimly lit by the ballpark led tv which is nice. What I will recommend is stay away from where the 7-11 is. There is way too many bums that hang out in that area and it is very dark with little light. That area of the park I definitely did not feel safe in at all. The rest of the park was gorgeous though.

House of soccer was an amazing event hosted in the Romare Bearden Park previous to the Arsenal vs Fiorentina Game, hosted in the Bank of America Stadium for the International Champions Cup. Thanks to the Organizers of this event I was able to received a pair of free tickets for the game, what an awesome experience all around.

This is a nice public park for everyone. At first I thought it was a dog park because of how many people brought their dogs but that was not the case. Its surrounded by nice restaurants and bars.

This is a quaint park to people watch, relax and take in the sun while surrounded by the uptown building scape. There are a lot of children taken to this small park area therefore you have to be careful, especially on the scooters, because kids run around without paying attention, so always be mindful of the children safety.

I love this park I come here all the time, when Im in Charlotte this is our favorite meeting place where my friends and I hang out and go back to everytime we go anywhere, good place to find your friends and plan what youll do for the day or just hang out , take pictures and have a fun time. This park is pretty, its green and its on a great location.

Beautful flowers and quiet place in the city. It was empty this afternoon so I could sit on a bench among the flowers and read my book. Throughly enjoyed my time there. On the weekend, its a different experience...soccer games, picnics, and other group activities.

Nice park, not so great first impression. My first visit was a bit of a shocker because this park was littered with hobos. I strolled in with my family and was greeted by the sight of what appeared to be 2 hobos sitting on the ground handcuffed and surrounded by 6 police officers.As unsettling as that situation was, the 2 people in custody were screaming expletives at the top of their lungs. We found a spot all the way in the corner of the park at the opposite end of the obscenities and could still hear it.Well about the park. Its nice but lacks trees. The waterfall is awesome and there is a splash pad for children which is great. We walked around and there were homeless people sitting on the benches in every corner of the park.This is not the place to come if you want to go for a jog or want to take in scenery. Its more for the folks who live in the apartments in the area. And apperantly for homeless population in uptown Charlotte.

Review №62

This is a relaxing park in the city of Charlotte. Beautiful flowers were in bloom throughout the grounds. Cherry blossom petals rode the moderate breeze as if snow was falling right in the middle of a sun filled day. And while we were all practicing social distancing in this inconvenient time, observing beauty from a distance was surprisingly pleasant. This is a great place to visit in an otherwise bustling city if you are going stir crazy inside. Take the necessary precautions and see the beauty that still exists in an apparent stressful time.

I love this park! It’s very close to my office uptown, it’s great to walk to if you work in the city and also if your visiting uptown, a relaxing green space to take a break from walking.It’s very well maintained and I have never felt unsafe there. There is a ton of restaurants that are all walkable to and from this park.There is a cool water feature wall with LED lights there and has a great view of the Charlotte skyline for some great photos.Highly recommend if you’re in Uptown.

I recently enjoyed my experience at this particular Park. Well small oh, it is quite gorgeous. Beautiful landscaping and the chance to enjoy some of Charlottes finest architecture. This park has the feel of a small town with all the class of an upscale big city. The fish Fountain is enjoyable spot for children to cool off in the summer months. Great place to walk the dog and sit a spell. Exceptionally clean & religiously manicured. Surrounded by many of Charlottes finest restaurants.

This park in Charlottes uptown. Usually held the some celebration by Charlottes government. There is also parking places near by. So people can park their vehicles there. There is a place you can see a all the tall building of Charlotte including Bank of America building, Duke Energy Building, Wells Fargo building etc.. Bank of America stadium is also a nearby place. Here are so many food trucks and shop, restaurant are there. Like Halal food court my favorite, then Vapiano pizzas, Queen city (QCBC). There are also some bar for those people who like drink.

It is a pretty park and the waterfall-like fountains are a big hit in the summertime. There are also a lot of little outdoor music events and such during the summer and football season. I dont frequent it after dark much though because its not extremely well-lit.

This place is SO romantic at nighttime. The waterfalls and the fountains are so beautiful. Theres also a Seven Eleven directly across the street, which is extremely convenient. Theres even a little garden (as in planted food) in this park. I dont know who they belong to, but, do NOT vandalize them! Theres a small terrace up the stairs behind the waterfall with the changing lights thats very pretty. This park is a nice, quaint place to pass time and take some cute selfies with that special someone in your life. :)

This park is small but such a haven in the heart of Uptown. People enjoy relaxing, playing frisbee, and walking their dogs here. Families bring their children here and they play in the fountain. There is often something going on at this park, whether it be live music or a festival. The Queen City has its New Years Eve party here.
