The Reedy Creek Nature Center, Park, and Preserve in Charlotte, North Carolina

We were visiting family in Charlotte and were searching for something fun to do with our 2 year old son.  Hands down, the Reedy Creek Nature Center, Park, and Preserve was the most fun we had while visiting this beautiful city.  From a playground, to a nature center, to hiking trails, to archaeological ruins, this park has it all.  And I can honestly say that there is something here for everybody.

This sprawling osage orange tree lays on the ground in front of the Robinson Rockhouse Ruins. In 1987, it was blown over during an ice storm. A tree ring core obtained from the tree tells us that it was planted sometime in the 1770s.
