I do recommend this place for everyone who wants to relax in the nature. My biggest catch so far and my worst picture for it.

This is a great place to spend some time outside in Charlotte. It really allows the kids to just have fun but utilize their imagination at the same time. There is a cute "Turtle X-ing" sign, but the little pond had no turtles in sigh, sadly.

One can really hurt themselves.-Bring water there is refilling station (fountain) at the Nature Center-Take a map just in case-Bring friends along and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful surroundings.Check out the Backyard Habitat Garden- Photo ops with butterflies, hummingbirds and honeysuckle.Parking area for the Nature Center is relatively small and gets packed with events.

Fun program to bring the kids to as well as for adults to learn about what is edible and what is not when you are out there hiking, in the woods or anywhere there are trees and flora.

It's a mildly trafficked area, and I spot lots of dogs out for walks on this loop!All in all, a really enjoyable park with lots to do.
The bank is cleared around this 3-acre pond. A nice park w/a lot of trails that kind of intertwine into each other. The trails have multiple splitting points and everything starts to blend in because there are a lot of different shelters. There's also a pretty large disc golf course back in this area.If you hop on the main loop, you'll find yourself on a wooded trail that's a couple of miles long.

I also saw a lot of families fishing. We loved this Nature Center. There are some very pretty sites, and depending on the time of year you may find yourself surrounded by beautiful flowers and butterflies. Playgrounds and sports areas. If you don't like that, keep your dog in the small dog area. A lot of people had the same idea & after going I can see why. There was a nature center that was supposed to be open, but doors were locked, so not sure what was up w/that.Trails seem to be well-maintained and it was a good walk (I did 3+mi in total), but nothing overly spectacular or unique. [3][4] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. #4.24.0. From basketball courts, to playground equipment, to picnic sites, and even a disc golf course, there is something for everyone!

So much space for activities!

We explored this park last Saturday morning while practicing social distancing. This is a go to place for the local fly fishermen and should be one of your stops if you are just…", Yelp users haven’t asked any questions yet about.

You could easily spend an entire day here. Perfect for anything and everything, dogs included. Basketball courts for fun. Will be back to hike through their other trails and see other parts of the park.

It really is super nice especially in the spring/summer and even in the fall. #5 Colonel Francis Beatty Park: Tips-Wear sneaker and comfortable shoes. Playground for next to the  Nature Center looked like a treehouse and was so much fun for both kids. I loved the outdoor natural playground that they have for the kids outside the nature center. They offer many programs and activities. [5], The associated nature preserve is heavily forested and contains over ten miles of hiking trails, some of them quite challenging.

Reedy Creek Nature Preserve protects 927 acres of natural, forested habitat within Reedy Creek Park. The trails seem pretty well maintained, and there isn't a ton of elevation change, just know that if you're someone who likes listening to music while you jog the cell service is pretty bad (at least on T-Mobile).

While driving through the park, we were amazed at everything that was offered here. 68 reviews of Reedy Creek Park "I fished here with my nephew of seventeen one Saturday and the lake is so serene and peaceful that we both spent quality time together without really speaking a word.

This review is for the Reedy Creek Park and Nature Center which is located in Reddy Creek Park. From basketball courts, to playground equipment, to picnic sites, and even a disc golf course, there is something for everyone!

There are always plenty of people around so I feel safe.

It's actually a lot bigger than I expected the first time that I visited but I love it because it's so close to the university area and where I live that it's not a long drive and I find myself looking forward to the next time I get to go.

I enjoy this park, which is very convenient to the University/Harrisburg area. Mine got their shoes wet while netting for minnows.

Brush has been cleared from several bank areas on the two ponds, and a 50-foot fishing platform has been constructed on the larger 7-acre pond. There was also so much open grass area a lot of people were just laying out or having a picnic. There's some great trails to walk around and get your exercise in and get some fresh air.

looked like a treehouse and was so much fun for both kids. We ended up walking two trails, and it was over 2 1/2 miles of green nature.

Fish attractors are marked with buoys. The part of this park I most enjoy though are the trails back near the Nature Center. So I was actually selling some children video's on FB Marketplace and the lady asked me to meet her here. The trails themselves vary from dense woods to going along two ponds: Dragonfly & Kingfisher, with Dragonfly being the bigger of the two. There's plenty of playground and recreational area at the beginning of the park, including a very large fenced in dog park that seems to get pretty decent use.

Improved access trails surround the lake.

8 in. None of the trails are very long and they're all pretty flat. Definitely dont come after it gets dark, but i think it is closed after 6pm anyway.

I'm so grateful to have so many parks and dedicated green spaces in the city of Charlotte and Reedy Creek Park does not disappoint!Reedy Creek Park and Nature Preserve happens to be pretty close to our  house so it is very easy to get to you and once there is very well marked with signage.There seems to be a little something for everyone - there is a dog park on your right just as you enter the park, they have covered shelters for picnics and celebrations, ball parks for some good ol' fashion ball games and then there is the Reedy Creek Nature Preserve which has a ton of trails and some really interesting education exhibits and displays! We took the green square trail (can't remember the name - dragonfly I think) recommended by the person at the Nature Center desk. This is a spot I will be visiting again! But they also did not have poop bags, plenty of poop stations, doesnt seem like the poop bags are regularly replenished. Anglers can try to lure crappy, bass, catfish, brim, and pan fish from the banks of Bass Pond or they can cast off in the shallow waters of Reedy Fork Creek.
There are over ten miles of hiking trails in the nature preserve for the outdoor enthusiast, giving visitors the opportunity to explore a variety of terrains, while enjoying scenic views of small lakes, forests, fields, streams, and wildlife.

The one that is for the small dogs is soooo small.

Reedy Creek Park is a 125 acre urban park at 2900 Rocky River Road in the Newell section of Charlotte, North Carolina. I found my way back to my car by asking directions. One of the best parks I have ever been to! I've been meaning to check out this park/nature preserve for a while now and finally made it recently.

Adjacent to the park is a 737 acre nature preserve.
