Often when visitors arrive to the Charlotte area for the first time, the first thing they note is how green it is. Our tree canopy is unparalleled — in fact, we are known as the City of Trees.
Whether you have a big backyard or not even an apartment balcony, it’s always fun to get out among the trees to explore the area’s parks, greenways and trails.
The good news is, we have so many outdoor options around the city. Are you looking for the perfect park bench for bird watching or people watching? Or maybe you have found a greenway best for roller skating? Whatever your criteria is, we want to know your favorite spots.
