About this adventure
Affectionately celebrated as Charlotte's 'Central Park,' the 98-acre Freedom Park in Dilworth is a beloved multi-generational gathering spot throughout the winter months. A wide, smooth 0.9-mile paved path encircles the 7-acre lake where children can observe wintering ducks and geese, cross arched stone footbridges, and admire fountain sprays. Youngsters will love exploring two extensive modern playgrounds, including the NFL Play 60 inclusive playground and the famous full-sized historic steam locomotive engine that kids can climb aboard. The park provides paved connections directly into the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, with heated public restrooms, drinking fountains, and free parking lots.
