The Green

We discovered this really cool park on our walk through uptown Charlotte and it's very literary!! It's fun to people watch and the buildings surrounding are very beautiful. Lots of fun signs!!

Of Charlotte's many open parks, I found this one the best for quiet sitting, with a manicured, shaded space and a relative paucity of people disrupting things. There were some art objects of various sorts that might hold a moment's interest, but the main attraction seemed to be the grass and the shade.

Cute little park, nice walking area in the middle of uptown. Well maintained and free of litter

Bottom Line: A smallish but well manicured green space in Charlotte offering lots of lovely plants and some public art.My husband and I decided to check out The Green while staying in Uptown. He was curious about the famous sign pointing to the other Charlottes in the United States and I'm always up for checking out plants and seeing what is in bloom. The grass at The Green was a nice break from the harshness of the surrounding streets and skyscrapers. I liked the meandering paver paths and being open to wherever they'd take us. The fountain with the four fish spitting water was quite whimsical but sadly when I visited it wasn't on yet. Overall a nice little spot in the city.

Charlotte has truly done an amazing job with it's city beautification project. The Green is a lovely little inner city park that offers a change in scenery right smack in the middle of up-town Charlotte. It is literally the perfect spot to have a small picnic or midday walk. Spindled with story books themed architecture, the little park can offer a great view for photo backgrounds. It's truly a jewel in The Queens crown.

When we were walking around downtown Charlotte, we came upon an area that was noticeably.....green! Imagine my surprise when I did a yelp search to see if I could check in in this area, and sure enough there were several reviews for this nice little downtown park called "The Green". Kinda finding itself sandwiched between office buildings, I can see this place being a great "get away from work" lunch escape. One of the cooler features about the green, at least to me was their many mile markers that show arrows pointing to (insert city), with the approximate number of miles to get there and in what direction you can go. These little posts are littered all over the park and are impossible to ignore. There are several statues like the three large fish that kids seemed to love and the book statues as well. It's just a really nice place to find yourself on a warm and dry day.Natural shade from all of the trees, there's a large amount of landscaping around for sitting, or you can just have a seat on the well manicured grass. Not the largest park, but it is a little squirt of outdoor happiness between business as usual.There are no restrooms here, but there are trash cans about for that time when you'd like to have a snack in the shade and need to toss your food wrappers.I had no expectations for this park, and truly didn't know it existed, but because it hit the spot AND was such a nice break from all of the downtown-ness, it's easily 5 stars for me. Would I plan an entire trip to charlotte around it? Nah...it's not that kind of park. But while you're there, you will enjoy it no doubt!

The Green is such a great park! You can go to this park any time during any season, but the best is spring, summer and fall. In the summer time, the grass is green, people are outside relaxing on the grass, dogs running around...it's such a great feeling and place to be! There are statues and benches around the park, as well as multiple signs showing the amount of miles to numerous cities/states around the U.S. Very cool!Parking garage is located under the park, but there is also street parking if available. It's truly a great park to visit!

This is a nice little park situated between rows of shops uptown. There's a lot of neat public art scattered throughout. We came most recently for Charlotte Shout to see the giant inflatable bunnies. This was an awesome exhibit and it would be cool if they had different art installations more often. The green is a small space but it's well done. There's also a fountain for the kids to splash around in when it's hot outside. It's a good place to come to relax and hang out for a couple hours.

Cool little city park with some sculptures and public art pieces. It's on the smaller side, but it's definitely worth a visit to explore and walk around - especially on a pretty day.

Not tourist friendly. Was taking pictures of The Green, nothing fancy, no tripod or etc. Security came and told me I couldn't take photos because it was Wells Fargo property. There are rules posted for the park but nothing mentions photos. In short, if you want to take photos of you family, don't bother going. What a shame.
