Charlotte’s Finest | Union County Parks

Updated: Jun 28, 2022

For so many of us, with all that is going on in the world these days, we are looking for a place to enjoy life's small moments in the great outdoors. Taking in the fresh air has never been more important! While your yard or even neighborhood can be great places to explore, they can get a little mundane day after day. So if you are looking to have a little adventure in a "backyard" that is not your own, these 5 Union County Parks are some of most enjoyed!


This has to be one of the parks with the most activities to enjoy and we have had the opportunity to even camp at Cane Creek Park. I think the thing that bring us back is the swim beach. It gives you that feeling of going to the beach minus the waves, yet you can jump in your car and relax at home at the end of the day. Something everyone will look forward to each year!

Activities to Enjoy | Baseball fields, bicycle trails, boating, camping, canoeing, disc golf course, fishing, hiking, picnic areas, playgrounds, rowboat rentals and swim beach.

5213 Harkey Road | Waxhaw, North Carolina



If you are looking for a splashpad to play in, this is our all-time favorite. The water sprays out over a circular pad from these giant fountain balls, while others dance below you. The smiles on the little ones faces will carry you though the day for sure.

Activities to Enjoy | 3 playgrounds. fountains, musical stage, picnic areas, splash pad, tennis courts and walking trails

One of the things that is so fun about this park is there is a place for our furry friends. Couple that with some lovely walking trails...it makes for a great day!

There is something so peaceful about walking around this gorgeous lake. Take it in relaxing by the gazebo watching the fishermen cast out their lines along the docks or enjoy our favorite thing to do...feeding the ducks!

This has to be one of the prettiest Union County parks in our opinion. The Barn makes a perfect backdrop for enjoying a book and watching as life unfolds around you.
