Revolution Park

Recreational Facilities

Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, Revolution Park spans a generous 210 acres along West Boulevard. The park features a mix of recreational spots and natural spaces where you can unwind and play.

Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the 9-hole course with its bit of local history - it was one of the first desegregated golf courses in Charlotte. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your swing, the driving range and practice greens provide perfect spots to work on your game.

Sports Academy

The heart of athletic activity at Revolution Park is the Sports Academy - a sprawling 30,000 square foot facility where both kids and adults can get moving. Inside, you'll come across multipurpose rooms for various activities, a well-equipped fitness area, and dedicated boxing and training spaces for those looking to channel their inner champion.

Outdoor Activities

If you're more of a nature lover, the park's walking trails connect seamlessly to the Irwin Creek Greenway, offering peaceful pathways fantastic for a contemplative stroll or an energizing run. The section that runs under the bridge is particularly nice during spring and fall when the changing seasons create colorful views.

Sports fields dot the park grounds, accommodating everything from baseball to football and soccer. The baseball facilities get good marks from locals, but it's worth noting that some of the artificial turf fields have been described as a bit thin over their concrete base.

Family-Friendly Amenities

The playground facilities feature mostly new equipment that children seem to enjoy. Parents, you'll appreciate the thoughtful walking path that circles the playground - well-suited for getting in some steps while keeping an eye on your children.

Planning a get-together? The park's picnic areas include at least one covered section complete with a grill and nearby trash bins, making it easy to host anything from family reunions to birthday celebrations.

Amenities and Accessibility

You'll find clean restrooms available during park hours - always a plus for longer visits. Parking is generally plentiful on weekdays, though you might want to arrive early during baseball games or other sporting events when spaces fill up quickly.

Feel free to bring your four-legged friends along - the park is dog-friendly as long as your pups stay leashed. Just remember to pack some waste bags, as they aren't always provided on-site.
