 Charlotte
is a great place to be if you like to get outside and enjoy
yourself. One of the best things about being on vacation
is taking part in activities that you don't do at home.
Charlotte is filled with just such activities. You can
enjoy AAA baseball, NBA basketball, water skiing, boating,
fishing or even indoor ice skating. Charlotte has
14,000 acres of parks and 19 recreational centers ranging from
playground sites to 1,020 acre sites. Most parks have picnic
areas and many have lake areas with fishing, lighted tennis
courts and athletic fields. Whatever your pleasure, we
suggest you do it all while you visit Charlotte.
