Romare Bearden Park
This public green space is often host to fitness & cultural arts programs, including live music. This is a perfect place to go for a nice walk in the park with an amazing view of the skyline of the Queen City.
Optimist Hall
Optimist Hall was born … White Point Paces Partners purchased the property in 2016 with the vision for an adaptive reuse project that would give Charlotte its first food hall and also provide distinct, modern office space to a business community hungry for change. The north side of the development became home to Duke Energy's Innovation Center in early 2019, while the food hall opened its doors later that same year.
UNC Charlotte Botanical Gardens
