Reedy Creek Park and Nature Preserve

Reedy Creek Park and Nature Preserve is mapped at 2900 Rocky River Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Use the map pin for the park itself rather than a similarly named municipal office or neighborhood.

The nature preserve is open daily from sunup to sundown. The nature center is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. Check the official park page for holiday, weather, seasonal, or maintenance changes.

For the recreation park, fields, shelters, and Barkingham dog park, use the signed park entrances around 2900 Rocky River Road. For the nature center and preserve trails, navigate separately to 2986 Rocky River Road. Parking is first come, first served; do not use grass or unauthorized areas.

Public records currently identify Wooded hiking trails, Nature center with live native animals, Exhibit hall, Fishing access, Athletic fields and courts, Playgrounds, Picnic areas, Restrooms, Community garden, Barkingham dog park, Reservable pavilion. Check the official page for current availability.

The nature center is a staffed indoor visitor facility. For a specific accessible trail, athletic area, or picnic route, contact Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation before visiting because natural trail surfaces and distances vary. Confirm route-specific needs with the operator because surfaces and closures can change.

Leashed dogs may use outdoor park areas where posted. Barkingham Park is the dedicated off-leash dog area. Pets are not permitted inside reservable facilities unless they are trained service animals; follow signs at the nature center and preserve entrances.

General park, preserve, trail, and nature-center access is free; programs and facility rentals may have fees.
