romare bearden park

This isn't a big park but it has a nice open space right in the heart of downtown and superb views of the skyline. The fountain, especially, at night is beautiful with lights of the city behind it. Very well lit and safe and it is right across the street from BB&T field. There is a lot of street parking nearby but there are a few parking garages too which was nice. There were plenty of people out while I was there which was nice to see people taking advantage of it. It was so nice I had the pleasure of being asked to take pictures of a couple who got engaged there. I would for sure visit this park again.

Nice little park tucked away near the ballpark and stadium. A fun & colorful water feature and the most excellent views of the skyline can be seen from here!

This park is the size of a Charlotte city block. During the weekdays when it is warm there is often live music. The park has many places to sit and enjoy a picnic or just walk around and enjoy Charlotte.

The park is especially fun to visit at night when everything is lit up, especially the colorful lights. It's quite new, but I'm sure it will be even more beautiful as the trees mature. There aren't any play structures, but there is a spray pad in the summer.

Romare Bearden Park is a wonderful little oasis in Uptown Charlotte. It's a great place for a picnic or to go listen to music.

Right across from the Charlotte Knights Ballpark this is a great greenspace. Two levels to the park with the lower level including a fountain.Easy access to restaurants, attractions and places to stay.

Small but tice park in the heart of uptown Charlotte. Has seats around the area to view the skyline. a water Fall and a music area for the kids to play. on this trip they had locked up the musical Hammers for the wind chimes. Guess it disturbs the apartment folk next door?

Visiting this park is all about expectations and like most things in life, a positive/negative mindset will determine your experience in this park. Romare doesn't hold up to suburban parks, which have a lot more room to work with and are more kid-oriented. Still, I find Romare Bearden to be a much needed greenspace for the workers and residents of Uptown Charlotte. It provides a convenient space for tossing the pigskin, baseball, etc... as well as some art and a nice water feature for 3/4's of the year. The free concerts throughout the summer are pleasant and when the Charlotte Knights have a band playing before the games you can watch and listen to the band from the grassy west end of the park.

We first visited this park this summer going to see a ball game. There is a lighted water feature that everyone plays in, and there are free lunch concerts held through out the summer. It is a nice area to have a picnic during the day if you are visiting or working Uptown, and there are paths for strollers, joggers,or a leisurely stroll. Love being able to be in the city, yet have some green space to kick a ball around or throw a Frisbee. Plenty of benches for those who have no chairs or blankets, and I saw no fire ants while there. I big plus for me. I will never be one with those things.

This is a nice little park to sit in during a lunch, but it is not at all worth making a special trip for. I walk through it at least twice a day for work and it is very well manicured. The nice thing is that they do have gerat little events and concerts there, one even that had a dozen or so bounch houses for kids. For those evens you just need to keep an eye on their calendar, but for the regular park it is not worth a special visit.

I've watched this park get built from my office window. It's such an interesting place and you see all kinds of people using it in so many different ways. We went to one of the free concerts there and it was just such a perfect setting; great for the soul!

Nice place near the center of town but really there's not much here. Good place to hold rallies and demonstrations I guess.

We have been here several times at Beach Concerts and was impressed with the layout of the park and easy access. Great place to relax and enjoy a pretty day .

Great to walk around, nice scenery, lots of places to sit and chat .. Lots of nice plants, flowers and sculptures. Found this just walking the area ...great place for a picnic or to rest after a long sightseeing journey. In a great area of a great city.

Went there for an outdoor concert and food festival; was not disappointed. Well kept and clean and right in the heart of everything going on in Charlotte. Plenty of parking nearby, good feeling of safety with CMPD visible on the outskirts; great place for singles, couples and families alike.
