Druid Hills Park

Park Overview

Located on Poinsett Street in Charlotte, North Carolina, Druid Hills Park spans 7 acres in the Druid Hills neighborhood and nearby communities in the northern part of the city.

This green space blends recreational spots with open areas for visitors of all ages in the urban landscape.

Recreational Facilities

If you're in the mood to shoot some hoops, you can find two half-court basketball courts great for a quick pickup game or practicing your jump shot.

For the little ones, there are playground areas specially designed for children ages 2-12, where kids can climb, slide, and play while parents catch a moment's rest on nearby benches.

Amenities

Planning a family get-together? The park's picnic areas come equipped with grills - ideal for those weekend cookouts or casual lunch gatherings under the Carolina sky.

The open green spaces give you room to toss a frisbee, spread out a blanket, or just wander. Some neighbors have even put these areas to good use with urban gardening projects, adding a touch of community spirit to the landscape.

Current Improvements

You'll notice Druid Hills Park is getting a makeover! The Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation department has construction underway to make this neighborhood retreat even better.

Look forward to a new restroom-pavilion facility (a welcome addition, as the park currently lacks permanent restrooms) and public art installations that will add character and charm to your park experience.

Community Value

What makes this park special is how seamlessly it fits into the residential area - just a short walk for many locals who call this neighborhood home.

If you're looking for active recreation or just a quiet spot to read a book under a tree, Druid Hills Park offers a little something for everyone. It's not the biggest park in Charlotte, but it might just become your favorite neighborhood retreat.
