Interactive Myers Park Map

Orienting Myers Park in Charlotte

This is a schematic map, not a survey. Positions are approximate and drawn to make relationships legible: how the Queens Road crescents curve away from Uptown, where the park spine runs, which school and shopping anchors belong to the surrounding Charlotte area rather than the neighborhood core.

Hover or tap any marker for a short note. Use the category filters to strip the map back to a single layer — schools only, or dining only — which is the fastest way to answer "which places belong to this category?"

For anything binding — lot lines, zoning, historic district status, school assignment — use the county parcel viewer and the school district locator linked throughout this site. Nothing here should be relied on for those purposes.

Landmarks and Anchors on the Map

Queens Road West is the willow oak cathedral — a signature tree-lined street in the neighborhood and the backbone of any historic walking route through the neighborhood. The greenway marker at Little Sugar Creek shows the paved path that connects Uptown to Freedom Park on foot or by bike, and Freedom Park itself is the 98-acre front lawn where the neighborhood spills out on weekends.

The school layer places Myers Park Traditional Elementary, Myers Park High School, Charlotte Country Day, and Charlotte Latin against the street grid, which is the fastest way to see why the morning school run shapes traffic on Providence Road. The landmark layer adds the Mint Museum Randolph, the Duke Mansion, and Queens University — the Georgian campus that grew up with the Nolen plan — plus Uptown for scale.

Retail and dining anchors — Selwyn Avenue, the Park Road Shopping Center, and SouthPark — sit on the residential core or surrounding districts. Their map positions do not establish a legal boundary.

The markers include destinations outside Myers Park, such as Charlotte Latin, SouthPark and Charlotte Country Club. Their placement is schematic: it is not a distance scale or a walking route. Select a destination to open its Google Maps location, then enter your actual starting address and travel mode. For a closer look at the park itself, see the Freedom Park guide; for address-specific school checks, use the schools guide.

Reading the Street Pattern

Myers Park does not run on a grid. The streets curve because John Nolen's 1911 plan followed the creek bottom and the ridgelines, so the map reads in three bands: the grand crescents of Queens Road and Queens Road Westsweeping away from Uptown; the quieter looping streets between them — Hermitage, Cherokee, Ardsley, Portland — that bend around the country club's fairways; and the straighter edge corridors, Providence Road, Kings Drive, and Woodlawn Road, where the neighborhood meets the rest of the city.

Curving streets can make two destinations appear closer than the available route between them. A walking route, cycling route and driving route may each use different connections. Use a current route planner rather than estimating a journey from this illustration; check crossings, sidewalks and trail access before setting out.

Neighborhood Boundaries and Greenway Access

Neighborhood names, ZIP codes, school attendance areas and legally designated districts are different boundaries. This illustration does not establish any of them. Check the county parcel viewer for the specific property and the relevant district's official map when a designation matters. Eastover, Dilworth and SouthPark are included as surrounding context, not as subdivisions of Myers Park.

Start with the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreationgreenway information for current trail access, closures and operating rules. A marker identifies the destination, not a verified open entrance. Freedom Park's lake paths and the wider creek trail network serve different outings; choose your starting point and return route before planning an extended walk.

Planning a Walk, Cycle or Drive

Select a place on the map and follow its Google Maps location link. Set your departure point, choose walking, cycling or driving, and compare the route with current conditions. Travel times change with traffic, crossings, trail detours and the exact entrance you use; the illustration does not calculate live directions or promise journey times.
