Village Park

This park has everything! Trains, carousel, live entertainment, splash pad and two large playgrounds. Plenty of shelters to reserve for birthday parties and they have a multipurpose building you can rent by the hour.

Why have I not found this place sooner?!!! We loved this park. It's beautiful and has so many amenities. The loop for walking. The train and carousel for riding. The park for playing. The splash pad to cool off. It is also beautiful. The carousel splash pad and train cost 1.50 . Not bad we will definitely be back another time to enjoy this place again.

Great park with lots of experiences for the kids and family. They have a splash pad, train ride and carousel all in tandem with other features you'd expect a park to have. Spring and summer there are many concerts and other family friendly activities. Winter brings a winter wonderland or fun things to do! Highly recommend this park

This park is one of my family's favorites! It's a hidden gem that we stumbled upon one day! Not only is it well-kept and beautifully landscaped...it features a mini train which you can ride on, a double-decker carousel, a splash-pad, a snack bar, clean and spacious public bathrooms, a green-way, a huge playground...one for each age-group, picnic tables/shelters, and so much more. This park is so nice and fun to visit with the kids! Just a heads up- the train, the splash-pad, and the carousel all cost $1.50 each per person. You can buy those tickets at the front building near the parking lot at the window. They take cash or card. There is also a gorgeous pond behind the carousel area that is stocked with fish for you to view. There's a large Amphitheatre area in the field where live concerts are sometimes held. Lots of seating areas at tables, and ample parking. When you park your car, you'll notice the park begins on a beautiful, historic cemetery that's enveloped in old trees and flower bushes.Another tip I learned this past year is that every year around Thanksgiving-Christmas time, the park decorates with beautiful and festive lights all throughout! Christmas music plays and the park stays open late, as you can make reservations to ride the train and see the park in all of its festive glory! Normally, you do not need to purchase tickets in advance for the train ride or reserve a time slot, but during the Christmas shenanigans, you will need to! You can do so online or call the number! They also have a food truck or two (different ones each night or so) during the Christmas festivities. You can take a picture with Santa by the Carousel (I believe this costs extra), get a Christmas tree little Debbie cake from the snack bar, toast marshmallows by a fire pit, and even listen/watch the sort of creepy animatronic choir of singing bears inside the building at the front of the park at this time! This is a beautiful park to visit in any season, but you HAVE to check it out during Winter when all of the Christmas fun is happening!!!!

I'm more and more impressed with the Kannapolis Parks department after spending some time here at Village Park. This park is clean, very well manicured and ready for action. Yes, much of these things are shut down for the pandemic but there is still a great walking trail that includes a tunnel under the road to skip waiting for traffic.Splash pad, a g-24 scale replica train that is usually open on weekends, a carousel and the Village Park Building that's useful as a 100 seat meeting or event venue.There is a bunch of parking and this park is amazing.[Review 13154 overall, 471 of 2020.]

Family friendly, great decorations for all times of the year, good shelters and grills for parties. Updated equipment is amazing, splash pad food is fairly priced and is good. Bathrooms fairly clean. Concessions amazingly priced during winter. Huge area to walk around and sit. Good field and stage for music. Great carousel (line moves quickly). Fish pond is amazing.

We went to Village Park in Kannapolis for the first time Tuesday night before Christmas, and we will plan to be back! It was a chilly night, but we reserved tickets for the train ride around the park to check out the lights display. We all really enjoyed the ride on the train, and the staff were friendly and wearing masks. The ride itself was only 6 minutes, but you go through a very nice display. Tickets are $6 a row with 2 people allotted per row. Since you're reserving your tickets in advance, there is no line or 2 hour wait ala Tanglewood. You can also walk through the park and check out the lights and play on the playgrounds while waiting for your train time. The kids also enjoyed the robotic bear Christmas display, where there's a band playing Christmas songs kinda like you'd see at Chuck E Cheese's. The pond and fountain are also lit up for the holidays, and there is a carousel that is shut down at this time. Looks nice though, so I hope we get the chance when it's warmer to come back and take a ride!

Love this park!! Whether it's The Christmas holiday & the whole park is decorated in lights, or for the 4th of July! This place is amazing!! They offer movies in the park & even have live concerts, as well as the Charlotte symphony!! I cannot brag enough about this place!!

Fue increíble a mis nietos les encanta ir antes de la navidad para hablar con santa y es un bonito lugar para ir en familia tiene juegos y el tren lo recomiendo y su chocolate es rico bendiciones

Best little park for little people fun!! Amusement rides on train, and double decker carousel, splash pad in summer! Holiday lights, hot chocolate and s'mores that commence just before Thanksgiving!Covered picnic areas, concert in the park venue and a nice room to rent for parties or reception type celebrations!
