Charlotte was recently named one of the 10 Best Cities for Urban Forests by the nonprofit American Forests. Their write-up includes a special shout-out to our little book-themed park, The Green.
"Mecklenburg County, in which Charlotte sits at the heart, was awarded the National Gold Medal Award in 2012 by the National Recreation and Park Association. Charlotte itself boasts a number of recreation attractions, such as the U.S. National Whitewater Center and the literature-themed 'pocket' park known as The Green. And these are just a few of the things making up Charlotte’s urban forest."
Visit the American Forests site to view the nine other cities, and check out the Queen City shots that illustrate how tree-friendly cement streets can be. Perfect for a wandering walk in the sun, wouldn't you agree?
