Latta Park

This is a small strip of green land that is in a little valley mostly underneath the street level. It isn't amazing aesthetically, but it offers a lot of facilities, including basketball, a playground, picnic areas, and restrooms with water fountains. Notably, it is only a half hour walk or so from downtown, so parking in this area and walking in saved me some trouble, and walking back and forth through the park itself after I'd eaten dinner at a picnic table was a good decision as well.

Great park for trail running and dog walks. I will bring my horses soon and trail ride. Lots of parking available and lots of lake access. We love this park

Latta park extends for 32 acres across four blocks following a small creek that divides it from Romany Road and Park Avenue. Much of the park remains cleared from brush and there are some walking paths. There are also several developed facilities including basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball, picnic shelters with restrooms and three soccer fields. I enjoyed the walking trails today and managed to mostly avoid the low, wet areas.There were a number of folks walking dogs and they seemed to be socializing nicely.[Review 14479 overall, 1805 of 2020, number 2735 in North Carolina.]

This park is great! Easy to find, free small parking lot The playground was renovated a few years ago! They have a splash pad! A clubhouse, with covered picnic tables! Sand volley ball. Basketball court, which are painted pretty cool - hornets! Walking trail. Usually a good amount of kids there, very family and dog friendly. If you've never been, you should check it out!

Latta Park is a great place to spend an afternoon! This park has something for everyone - basketball courts, playgrounds, walking trails, and picnic tables. This park really appeals to the residents of the Dilworth neighborhood, as well as individuals living in the greater Charlotte area. There is limited street parking available, so it's possible to drive to the park though I'd suggest walking if possible.We just walked around the park with our dog, but we saw people enjoying all that the park has to offer. The basketball court seemed to be a big draw with children, families, and adults playing. The playground area is large and inviting. The park offers plenty of shade and seating areas, in case you want to take a break from the action.

Great little green space with the Charlotte skyline in view! This may not be the biggest or most visited park in the city, but it boasts some nice walking/jogging paths, basketball courts, and playground equipment.There's a decent side parking lot which is great if you are planning to run around/down East Blvd or area. You can also make it down the trails and connect to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway if you want to run through CMC main.

NIce park but super disappointed that the water inside the play area wasn't on this week. Would have been the perfect thing to cool off since all the play equipment was so hot. Did have homeless men sleeping inside the pavilion which was a bit off putting.

Fantastic neighborhood park nestled into the middle of Dilworth. There is a pretty pavilion with picnic tables, a large basketball court, a children's playground and a trail. I feel so lucky to live so close to great family friendly neighborhood gem. Plenty of parking and Dogs are welcome!

I do love this park, really, I do... but, I do not feel safe here by myself or alone with my children, hence the 3 stars. In fact, I was stopped by a police officer who told me as much. So, with 3 children in tow, we loaded up and went to another park. I was thankful he told me this, as I was feeling like that but felt I was being paranoid. Without that significant detail, this would be a 4 star park. I think the little splash park is big fun for younger children, although it can get quite crowded and there are, as always, those parents who do not monitor their children's behavior.The playground is super fun! Big, fast slide and great swings. Great recycled plastic chips in lieu of mulch.Awesome picnic shelter and wonderful, open field for kick ball or soccer.Nice winding paths that feel like you are really in the woods instead of steps from one of Charlotte's cutest neighborhoods.--I did find several used condoms on the playground and on the lovely walking paths. This is not a "go-to" park for me... Charlotte has too many wonderful options.

Runners, and doggies and kiddos, oh my! This park is full of 'em! If you're seeking a low key park in the Dilworth area or Freedom park was just too crowded for the kids, Latta Park is nice runner up. Nestled in Dilworth off of Park Rd., this sweet park is full of fun for children and adults alike. You'll find basketball courts, a pretty sweet playground, running/walking trails, a mini spray park in the summer, a covered picnic area and a boatload of benches to sit down and take a load off. It's maintained well and for the most part, park goers are pretty respectful. A few notes...if you have a canine companion, please leash him/her. Some people's kids and/or animals do not appreciate dogs coming up to them even if said dog is friendly. Leash law, folks. Also, there is a water fountain or two plunked into the park for you thirsty runners and walkers. Lastly, while there area handful of street lights lining the park, I urge caution when running here in the dark. It's a very safe area, but within the wooded areas a runner/walker just can't see into the thick of things. Happy parking!
