Freedom Park & Myers Park

Where it sits relative to Myers Park

Freedom Park is a county park adjoining the Myers Park area, not a neighborhood amenity owned by it. Several Charlotte neighborhoods border the park, and residents of all of them use it.

The confusion is understandable. The park sits close enough to much of Myers Park to be a genuine daily amenity — many households treat the loop as their default walk or run — and marketing copy frequently blurs the distinction. For any specific address, the county parcel viewer settles which neighborhood you are actually in, and our interactive map shows how the pieces fit together.

What residents actually use it for

• The walking and running loop, which is the neighborhood's informal gym.
• Youth sports on the fields and courts.
• Playground time, which functions as a social hub for families.
• Access to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway for longer routes toward Uptown and beyond.
• Large public events during the year — check county schedules for dates.

The greenway connection

The Little Sugar Creek Greenway is the piece that makes the park more than a destination: it turns it into a link in a longer corridor. That connectivity is a real part of why the eastern side of the neighborhood is walkable for recreation even though it is not walkable for errands. See parks, greenways and trails for the wider network.

Planning around it

Hours, facility availability, field reservations and event permits are administered by Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation and change through the year. Confirm current details with the county rather than relying on any third-party summary, including this one.
