Charlotte Park and Recreation Department operates two greenways in south Charlotte. The McMullen and Lower McAlpine Creek greenways offer 4.9 miles of trails.

McAlpine Creek Greenway, Charlotte’s oldest, has 8.9 miles of trails that are being upgraded and refurbished. The Park and Recreation Department is currently planning the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, which will eventually traverse 15 miles through the heart of Charlotte from Cordelia Park in north Charlotte to the N.C./S.C. state line. Sections of the Little Sugar Creek Greenway have already been constructed, and the entire 15-mile trek will be completed within the next decade.

In addition to the greenways, there are several county parks that south Charlotte residents enjoy. Park Road Park has several tennis courts, basketball courts, playground equipment, baseball fields and a 5-acre lake. It’s a popular place for group outings. McAlpine Creek Park on Monroe Road also has a lake, walking and biking trails, and Ray’s Fetching Meadow, an off-leash dog park that was recently refurbished. Col. Francis Beatty Park on Weddington Road features a 20-acre lake, mountain biking trails and athletic facilities.

McAlpine Creek Park and James Boyce Park and over 30,000 more trails!
