I love a good park, don’t you? For the past few weeks I’ve been coming to this park to workout with my trainer and a friend of mine (we workout together). The 3 of us workout hard in beautiful surroundings which makes all the sweat and hard work so much nicer! Robert L. Smith District Park is named after a police officer who was killed in the line of duty. I love trees and the hues of green that are around the city of Charlotte and they seem to be in abundance in this park.
There is a 1/2 mile tree lined pathway that surrounds a huge soccer field (there are 3 fields actually). If you enjoy walking outside yet don’t want to walk on the street or on a treadmill, this is the perfect park for you.
That’s my trainer on the left and my friend way ahead on the right. I hate jogging so I was lagging behind. Around the pathway there are trashcans and benches, I love those small conveniences!
There is also a playground for children, a patio area and bathrooms.
I have been to this park at different times of the day and have always felt safe. If you haven’t visited this park, why not put it on your list?
