What a fantastic place for photo shoots, walking, running, family time together. Many picturesque views. Nice playground area for kids. Playground is well maintained. Football fields. Very calming and serene place with the lake and broad walk along the lake. Three hours flew by very fast.

Freedom Park is a wonderful park in Charlotte, and has been my favourite ever since I moved here. It’s located in between Dilworth and Myers Park area. The park is spread around a lake, which has pretty views. The paved trails allow for convenient walking and running. The tennis courts allow for a good way to showcase your tennis skills. At times, I’ve also seen performances and events going on in the park, which provides a good communal feeling of partaking in things together. The Charlotte Nature Museum right next to the park is a fun way to learn about the animals of the Piedmont region, and I’ve been there multiple times as well. It’s worth it. Overall, Freedom Park is a wonderful way to chill, relax, exercise and spend time either alone or with your loved ones. The views are amazing as well. The steam engine in the park is pretty cool too. The swings and the playground area for kids attracts children and families all the year around. The name Freedom Park was bestowed upon it to honour the veterans of World War II. There’s parking available at the Whittington Field entrance.

What a beautiful place to take a walk which is what my wife and I did today there at Freedom Park. So much yet to explore. Nice playgrounds as well.

This park has raised the bar for what a park can be, I may have to begin issuing tiers. I would place this park on a S-Tier level. 🙌🏾 I was not able to see all that this park has to offer but from what I was able to witness this place has everything. From a great place for portraiture, activities for the kids, a place to have a cookout and/or even a FAMILY REUNION, there a mini amphitheater and a walk/run trail and a nature preserve. 🤩 🏞 If you are ever in Charlotte North Carolina, do yourself a favor and check this place out you will not be disappointed. 🍾🎈🎉

Love this place. There are a wide range of trees and plants. The walkways are clear and well managed. You can walk completely around the pond. There is a lot of shade available. To me, this is the perfect weekend. All dogs I saw were on leash, as well. There was a nearby food truck which had a long line. The only con I could find was the water was a little murky. I like to see the fish. 🐟

Simply a wonderful park. I loved all the space that it had and places to walk and a lot of activity going on such as picnics, walks, Sports on fields, wedding pictures, exploring, excellent Kids Play Gym, great nature scenes, a natural Amphitheater and more. Well done Charlotte!

If you're traveling from out if town I would recommend stopping at this park for some rest and relaxation. This park is beautiful end to end. It's a great place to walk and enjoy nature. There are a lot of kids and squirrels running around. Seems to be a great place for pictures as well. I went to get my steps in and I'm very happy I did because the experience was very nice. It's also connected to the Charlotte Greenway which I've heard is great to walk, run or ride your bike.

I'm in love with this park!!! This is a great location where anything can happen. It's a family focused environment with an fountain water park for the kids as well as baseball fields, basketball tennis and courts. There is a amphitheater for concerts and plays, which do happens in the summer. Freedom Park also offers shedded picnic areas great family reunions or gatherings. You can take leisure walks, ride your bike, skate or ride your skate board. I didn't get a opportunity to explore the entire park, but I will definitely go back. And it's pet friendly too. I would suggest reaching out to Park and Recreations before having and event to make they have accommodations.

This park is amazing! I highly recommend going here either by yourself or with your family. There's a little bit of everything for you or the family to do! In one half of the park there's: Tennis & pickleball courts; soccer & baseball fields; A bathroom and drinking fountain an AWESOME obstacle course and pull up bars; a large swing set with (10) regular swings and (4) small child swings; A decommissioned steam locomotive to look at and walk into A good sized park for the kids; In the other half of the park there's: A medium sized lake with fountains where you can fish A long walking/ biking trail An amphitheatre with a beautiful bridge (popular for taking pictures) Many picnic tables for you to eat at; A terraced hill (to sit on or view shows put on in the amphitheatre. There's so many things to do- we can't wait to go back! The bathrooms are a little cleaner than most parks. Beware near the terraced hill, as there's some nasty biting ants- careful where you sit an be step!;

I've been going here for years, attending the festival in the park. I think I will make this a regularly visited spot. You can rent bikes here. Refer to the pictures for pricing. Also just sit out and watch the ducks in the lake. Very peaceful scenery and bathrooms as well. They have a playground for the kids. Also soccer, basketball, tennis court amoung other activities.

It’s my first time to visit this park and its so amazing. I love the walking trail as well the scenery. Good for nature lovers. Family friendly as they have playground for kids and court for different sports. Just encounter difficulty in finding the parking. And if your kind of person that insects really love, better to have insect repellant with you or wear long sleeves and pants.

Very nice and clean park with plenty of parking. Clean restrooms. Pet friendly. There's something for the entire family here. Walking trails, playgrounds, softball/baseball fields, basketball & tennis courts, sand volleyball area, and open fields for frisbee or other activities.

What a beautiful, wonderful, park! Great walking and cycling paths, history markers, playgrounds, BBQ pits and shelters, and even a Carolina Panthers Play 60 obstacle course for all ages! Extremely dog friendly too unlike what I had read previously which made me leave my dog behind. Won't make that mistake again. Even if your not particularly close to Charlotte, it is worth the drive and one can easily kill an entire day there. Check it out, you will NOT be disappointed.

Nice park with lots of tennis courts. Fresh, clean air, it was quiet when I visited it. I was looking for a wall to play tennis on my own, there is something wooden, which potentially could be used to practice alone, but probably not a great way to play - it doesn't seem to be sturdy enough.

Very pretty, nice walk but they need to regrade some of the walkways to avoid flooding after heavy rains. The lake is picturesque and there are many ducks and geese swimming in it. Plenty of dogs and families walking about too so there is calm and happy vibe throughout the park. I enjoy walking there on a beautiful spring or fall day.

Such a beautiful and well maintained park. There’s less people during the weekdays than weekends. The restrooms are clean. There are places to enjoy a picnic and some people walk their dogs. The Sugar Creek greenway is nearby to go on walks or ride a bike.

Great park. The playground was in very good condition. The walking trail around the water was well kept and had many places to stop and relax. Only gripe was the restrooms were closed, which was odd for a Tuesday.

One of my favorite parks to visit with my family. It's such a beautiful place to let the kids play and take a stroll on a sunny day.

Huge beautiful park! Lots of different areas to play for all ages, open space for picnics, performance watching, hiking, scenic babbling brooks, & great to take pics (professional or otherwise). Biking, skating, skateboarding, stroller friendly, & lots of places to park the car. Very peaceful & serene place to check out alone or with the family.

This place is so beautiful and peaceful. My wife and I come here about twice a week for a nice walk. They have plenty of ducks to feed and lots of space to walk. It does get crowded on the weekends. Overall a great place to relax.

Bathrooms are always nice and clean, the park is amazingly clean. Bikes available to rent, plenty of space, lovely playground, fields and courts. All around a well manicured and cared for park

Most popular park in Charlotte! Beautiful place for family/lifestyle photo sessions. If you are planning to do session here be ready to have a lots of people interested n your background.

It's a Carolina Nature. Different people from all walks of life and calm. Good for walking and family picnics. Planning a wedding the park will create good memories on your special day. Good for rejuvenation, recharge, and revitalize. Bring cold water...

It was wonderful.. massively spread...loads of amenities for kids to play... Adults to lounge around... Bicycles available.... Restrooms available...water fountains at every possible turn.. ( although one or two was not not working 😕) well maintained n books also kept for those who want to read....

Love this park! I love to go with my family or by myself. Have outdoor picnics there. Walking in the trailers. Sit down to read It's beautiful, very quiet. Big enough to feel like you have your own space.

It's a nice park and the lake is beautiful. It has a big playground and some picnic areas. Evenings are nice.

Beautiful park! Very large and wonderful scenery. Everything is accessible by bike or on foot, and there are plenty of benches and large grassy areas. The water is very pretty with not too many geese.

This park is wonderful for a slow or fast pace walk all year long. It's nature with a metropolitan city. Love it and looking forward to going back for a picnic. I will definitely post pics!

Freedom Park is a fantastic place with a diverse range of trees, a serene lake, and charming geese. It's the perfect spot for relaxing and rejuvenating walks. The variety of trees and the peaceful atmosphere create a truly uplifting experience. Highly recommended!

Beautiful park with lots of space to spread out in and picnic, sports, long walking trails, kids area, volleyball courts, numerous soccer fields, baseball fields. Weekends are busy and parking can be a big issue, so get there early and enjoy!

We took a lovely stroll through Freedom Park before catching our flight home. I'm sure it's really pretty in the spring and fall as all the trees were bare.
