Parks & Trails
Parks and Trails
A short list, checked against official sources, beats a long one copied from elsewhere.
McDowell Nature Preserve
Managed by Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation. Nearby in Mecklenburg County, on Lake Wylie. Public. Trails, nature center programming and lake frontage are described on the county site. Hours and fees: see official page. Last checked: verification pending.
Greenways and neighborhood parks
Mecklenburg County is expanding its greenway network. We list a greenway segment here only once its official map shows a completed, open connection; planned segments are labeled as planned. Use the county's park locator for neighborhood parks near a specific address.
Community amenities are not public parks
Trails, pools and green spaces inside HOA communities are generally for residents. They appear in community guides, not here.
