About the Location
Recreational Facilities
Located in Charlotte, this 5-acre urban oasis offers a little breathing room from the city hustle. Waddell Street Park might not be massive, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in tranquility. The multi-purpose field sits at the heart of the park, ready for whatever activity you have in mind - whether it's a casual frisbee toss or an impromptu soccer match.
The basketball court is a neighborhood favorite, fantastic for shooting some hoops or jumping into a friendly pick-up game. If you've got little ones in tow, the playground area provides a dedicated space where kids can climb, slide, and make new friends while burning off energy.
Amenities and Features
Planning a small gathering? The park's picnic shelter has you covered - literally. It's just right for family celebrations or meeting up with friends over a packed lunch. The shelter offers a welcome reprieve from the sun on those warm Carolina days.
What we really appreciate about Waddell is its thoughtful layout. The mix of open sunny meadows and areas dotted with mature trees creates natural diversity throughout the space. This varied landscape not only makes for a more interesting visit but also supports local wildlife and plant communities. No matter if you're seeking sun or shade, you'll discover your perfect spot here.
