Charlotte Recreational Playground

This place is bigger than it looks from the parking lot, which is a good thing. The climbing structure keeps older kids busy while toddlers dig around in the sandbox, so you’re not chasing everyone in different directions the whole time. Tall slides, a basketball court, restrooms, and picnic tables — it’s got enough to make an afternoon out of it rather than just a quick stop. The pool nearby is worth checking out too if you want to stretch the visit even further.
