Charlotte was just chosen as one of the “5 Cities with Big Outdoor Appeal”, by Shape Magazine.  The magazine cited the US National Whitewater Center, more than 50 golf courses, 11 miles of hiking, walking and mountain bike trails, as some must do outdoor activities.  Also, the Public Art Walking tour was listed as a must do activity for those who want to get outside and see the downtown area.  

Those of us who live in the Charlotte, North Carolina area already know about the extensive parks and recreational department.  From the nearly 210 parks and greenway areas, there is something for everyone.  For more information on these parks, visit:  http://www.charmeck.org/Departments/Park+and+Rec/Home.htm
