Here into my second week living in Charlotte I'm glad I made it out to Reedy Creek Park albeit on a chilly otherwise bleak winter day. The park is quite large and seems to have a decent mixture of nature trails and athletic related areas. We went straight to the Nature Center and looked at the interesting displays. Was welcomed by the people at the counter which was a positive sign -- hard to believe some people with jobs like this could have a sour attitude. The trails are interesting and well laid out, however even with a map and following the obvious lay of the land and lots of outdoor experience I still couldn't make out part of the trail to loop around the lake. Bikes are prohibited in most areas it appears, which on a busy day I guess makes a lot of sense, although on an empty day like today it seems like a bike would have been a lot of fun. As a nature preserve this seems to a pretty good park. If you wanted to come in and out of here via non-motorized transport it would be far from ideal however. Glad Charlotte has some decent green space.
