A favorite park amongst locals, this park has a little bit of fun for everyone. 
 

Located in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood of Charlotte, Veterans Memorial Park has two playgrounds, a splash pad, baseball fields, tennis and volleyball courts, two half-court basketball courts, a Panthers inspired exercise station, outdoor and indoor shelters, restrooms, and a walking trail. The playground has two play structures, one for older kids and one for the younger set. It also has swings. The big kid playground has several slides, various climbing stations, monkey bars, and a sit-and-spin structure. The toddler playground has several slides, climbing, and balance beam. 

The large area for the splash pad is fully fenced in and it is also covered when the weather gets warm and it opens for the season. This is perfect during those hot summer months. Mature trees in the area keep the playground areas well shaded as well. On the edge of the park near the walking path, there is a Panther’s inspired exercise area called the Fitness Court. It has various pieces of workout equipment for a full-body workout, and jumping boxes to try out. There are instructions on how to use them. There are also six tennis courts that are fully fenced and behind them, there are two sand volleyball courts. By the sand volleyball court stands a covered shelter and a big open field. This is a great area to just run around and play, so bring your favorite park toys!

The walking path goes around the playground and ball fields. It is completely paved and perfect for strollers, bikes, scooters, and such. Do note that part of the walking path goes near a street, so be aware of your little riders when necessary. 

The recently renovated indoor facility can be rented out for gatherings. It has a kitchen with plenty of counter space and food warmers, restrooms, and an outdoor patio with two large grills. 

This park is well maintained and has something for kids of all ages.
