GEOCACHE CHARLOTTE 2023
At the end of World War II the Mecklenburg County Lions Club, raised private money to build a park to honor veterans and named it Freedom Park. The land was then deeded to the City of Charlotte in 1949.[7]
A county bond issue resulted in a $900,000 indoor shelter building which was opened in September 2005. This shelter has a commanding view of the lake and includes a large public room, a fireplace, large screen TV, offices, a kitchen, rest rooms, and a concrete patio. It is available for rental for weddings, receptions, small sporting events, and community meetings.
In April, 2012 the North Carolina Department of Transportation announced the completion of the Charlotte portion of the Little Sugar Creek Greenway which now runs through Freedom Park and connects it with uptown Charlotte.
