Ramsey Creek Park

Big park with a beautiful lake! I’ve only been during the day but I bet it’s even more beautiful during sunset. There’s a couple picnic tables by the lake — perfect for picnics! I’m not sure if the dock is always open to the public, but take advantage of sitting out there if it is!

I love the dog park, interesting experience. I don’t know what I find to né more fascinating the «Dog people» or the actual dogs lol. I am scared to go without my husband because when the dogs get aggressive it can become very intense.

This is a nice place to launch a boat. Don’t miss your turn because it’s hell turning around in the residential area past the entrance if you are towing a boat. Four concrete boat launches to choose from but be careful because the water is not very deep. A resident told us that sometimes Duke Energy will close the launch if the water is too low.
The bathrooms leave a little to be desired. They remind me of porta-​potties even though they are permanent buildings. I don’t recommend using them as changing rooms.
This is a good public ramp. We can’t wait to come back next year during the summer!

Beautiful Sunsets. Great place for family picnic’s. Don’t go that ofter because I live on the late but if we have friends and want to get great Sunset Photo’s on Lake Norman, this is the place.

Nice little park to go for a stroll or the dog park. They have a nice fireworks display and Christmas sunrise celebrations here

This place has the best public dog park in the Lake Norman area. It is well kept and clean. There is a lot of open grass space as well as wooded area too. They have two separate parks for large and small dogs. It’s not too crowded and people there are friendly.

This is the nicest park I’ve been to in the Mecklenburg County area. There is a lake in the middle of the park?! There are also umbrellas and benches for you to sit right by the lake. This place is perfect to bring your dogs and kids.
There are also multiple playgrounds, and very clean public bathroom (for park standards).
Ample spaces for parking. I would definitely come here way more often if it was closer to Charlotte. Oh, Birkdale Village is nearby so after the park, drive over for a nice lunch!

Kayaks + Grill + Yummy Foods + Fireworks on the Lake = Perfect July 4^th!
A bunch of friends rented an umbrella for July 4^th and the space was only $ 26! Great deal, I say :) There was a good crowd, but not overly saturated. Most people were probably at the beach or out of town. The space was right by the lake so we had a great view. It was excruciatingly hot, but nonetheless, enjoyable. I recommend putting water on top of your list. Nothing like having tables filled with salty/​spicy food and running out of water (especially when you’re surrounded by water you can’t drink!) I also recommend bringing some towels/​table cloths to lay out on the grass (and under the SHADE). very relaxing! I ate way too much, like everyone else on July 4^th lol, so it was nice to just lounge around.

The best thing about Ramsey Creek Park for me is the fact it offers public boating access to Lake Norman.
The 43-​acre park is part of the Mecklenburg Parks & Recreation Department and sports three access ramps.
For a lake that is, unfortunately, largely privatized, this kind of public access is in short supply.
The parking lots are huge and there is plenty of room to park trucks and trailers.
Ramsey Creek also offers public bathrooms, playground, volleyball court, nature trails, two horseshoe pits, fishing pier and a large waterfront picnic area with huge umbrellas that can be reserved for parties.
There is also a beach area that is nice for relaxing by but unfortunately does not allow swimming.
Those interested in reserving a shelter or ‘funbrella’ can call (704) 336‑7600.
To reserve the volleyball court, call (704) 336‑3590.
