Sometimes, it can be difficult to find a good park within the confines of a big city. Urban areas are, by their very nature, known as places where green areas and outdoor locations are hard to come by; that’s simply the nature of urban development. And yet, residents of Charlotte, North Carolina know that their city—the Queen City—is different.

What do you think of when you hear the word "park"? What about when you hear the words "a park in the city"? Most likely, images akin to famous photographs in Central Park spring to mind—a sprawling green oasis at the center of the metropolitan environment. Charlotte, North Carolina has many city parks that may fit this bill (though they are much smaller than the famed Central Park), but the Queen City also has one park that stands out from the rest.
