Symphony Park at SouthPark

I didn't even know this park existed until I came here for the Water Lantern Festival 2024 in July. They had about 10+ vendors and food trucks in the parking lot adjacent to South Park Mall. The park is more appropriate for hosting outdoor events such as the lantern festival or concert than it is a park to bring kids/play. No visible playground or sufficient flat land to play sports. But it's good for dog walking, having a picnic or just soaking up the outdoors. One suggestion for the park maintenance people. It would have been great to have treated the grass for bugs for big events such as the lantern festival. Many people laid blankets down to sit on the grass, and me personally, I was attacked by all the bugs lol.

Pretty place! Lost of room and nice views. Love the stage and how has a cement walkway. Perfect place for events.

This is my 2nd year attending the water lantern festival at symphony park. Great event and so meaningful for the community.

I love this park! It is quiet and peaceful during the day but look out for the hawk that lives in the tall tree! I take my little dog to walk around the circular trail and she loves it. The pond has ducks, fish, and the fountain is a nice feature. Southpark After 5 is a lot of fun but only happens certain times of the year. I have also seen a wine/food festival here and food trucks. The amphitheater carries noise well for live music. There is plenty of grass for blankets and lawn chairs. Totally walkable to shops and restaurants at Southpark Mall. Great spot in the heart of Charlotte!

In all of the years I've been to the mall and passed by here, I've never been to this park!This is a venue where you can sit on blankets amd lawn chairs to watch performers on a large stage. There is a large fountain and a concrete circle path around the perimeter. With construction going on at the mall, there is a loss of parking spaces near this park, but it should not affect finding a spot. Come check this park out!

I love this location they should really have more events at this venue. It's great for summer evenings but the little pond

Wonderful time at the wine festival this weekend! Park itself was nice. I enjoyed the stage & water scenery. The parking is a bit strange. The park was clean & well-groomed. Would enjoy coming back for future events!

I was just here at Symphony Park last weekend for the Great Grapes festival. I will not dive deep into that festival because it definitely could have been better but I truly like the symphony park area. But my biggest complaint about this area is the parking. I'm not sure if it was due to the festival but the parking SUCKED! I rode around over 20 minutes looking for a park basically waiting/looking for customers from Dicks sporting goods and Reid's grocery to leave and hoping another person doesn't beat me to the spot, which seemed to continue to happen the first 15 minutes. The symphony park land was well maintained but they definitely should have their own parking lot.

So much fun!! Went to see the Symphony Orchestra & WOW was I amazed!! The park is clean and plenty of great seats for viewing, but sitting down front is the best (not too many bugs by the water either). You can walk to any of the restaurants nearby and grab take out or bring your own picnic. Best tip about this place: get there EARLY!! it fills up quick!!

Beautiful park. My then fiancé took me to the Water Lantern Festival being held at the park because I'd never been to one. The park is large, with a lovely stage overlooking the water. Our lantern was made of wood with a rice paper outside. Inside you put a little LED candle to light it up. We drew and put our wishes on the paper, slipped it on the frame, put the candle inside and when the sun went down we pushed our lanterns into the water. The effect was beautiful. It was nice putting our intentions out into the universe.
