Hornets Nest Park

Love this park! If you get there early in the morning you usually have the park to yourself. Beautiful scenery! Do wish there wasn’t so much trash in the pond.

Nice park! Its not one of the best parks in Charlotte but it gets the job done! They just built a NFL Play 60 KidZone which was pretty awesome! I saw a lot of child’s enjoying the brand new equipment and the parents even joining in!!! I love this new added KidZone! Fun Fun Fun!!!

Looking for an awesome workout at a park? You gotta try Hornets Nest Park on Mondays & Wednesday’s at 6:40 pm. (Baseball lot/​shelter 1). They will have your abs, arms and booty on fleek!!! (meaning)…looking 5 star toned/​in shape. Cost: $ 6 donation
Them him…“O” sent you.

Parks & Rec really needs to push for the funds to keep the tennis courts in this area in better condition.
These aren’t the worst, but the end courts slope, there are large cracks in various places on the courts & the nets look like they’ve melted onto the court.
They have good lights here though & the bathrooms are clean.

Hornets Nest is a fantastic Charlotte area park that has something for everyone! Tennis courts, baseball fields… A BMX course? Wha– Wha– Wha– Whaaat?
And of course, there is my personal favorite, the disc golf course. The 2012 PDGA World Disc golf Championship finals were held here. It was a great event. Tons of free stuff, vendors, and of course following the disc golfers around!

Played tennis here the other day and was very impressed with the park overall. Since the tennis courts are all the way in the back of the park I got the opportunity to drive through most of the park. Very large and a nice hidden gem off of Beatties Ford Road, just north of the Sunset Blvd exit (west). A few highlights of the park are below…
As for the tennis courts, the were OK. They were a little dirty and had some cracking. The lights flickered from time to time which got a little annoying as it got darker in the night. The 12 courts are split into 2 groups of 6. There is plenty of parking and seating if you’re there to watch as well. Not as nice as some of the other public tennis facilities around Charlotte, but I’d definitely play there again. Next time, maybe I’ll leave some more time to check out the whole park.
