1. N.C.Korean War Memorial
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
Reviewed By John M - Mint Hill, North Carolina
Easily accessible, even for handicapped. Open air, bordered by NC 218, I-485 and a huge park with fabulous walking trails, frisbee-golf course, tennis courts, beach volleyball court, baseball diamond, immaculate playing fields, large playground, tidy bathrooms and fitness stations. Well-lit, symbolic statuary, flags, names and descriptions. A simple, reverent homage to the "forgotten war". The park itself is worth the trip, the memorial is a reflective bonus.
2. Four Mile Creek Greenway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 47 reviews
Reviewed By Manatee4Me - Charlotte, North Carolina
You can access the greenway from John Street just past the elementary school in Matthews, from Squirrel Lake Park and from a number of neighborhood entrances. I prefer the access at Squirrel Lake Park because it has ample parking, plus water fountains for people and pets, and restrooms. The pathway is wide, paved and well-maintained. It is suitable for walkers, joggers, cyclists, baby strollers, in-line skaters, people in wheelchairs. You can walk several miles if you want to. The only drawback is one common to greenway parks along streams: it floods during heavy rainfall. This leaves sand and mud across the path that make pushing a baby stroller or maneuvering a wheel chair difficult.

4. Carl J. McEwen Historic Village

Right next to the Mint Hill Farmer's Market is the Carl J. McEwen Historic Village, made up of several historic buildings, including the doctor's museum, schoolhouse (you can sit in the corner), assayer's office (you can pan for gold) and blacksmith's shop (not always open).
On most days when the market is open, there is something happening. Typically they have a demonstration of some skill, such as knife sharpening, panning for gold or a somewhat impromptu gathering of homemade instruments playing bluegrass music that is well worth a stop. Sometimes it is more current, with ham radio or something requiring electricity. Regardless, definitely worth a stroll back in time.
5. Elevation Church

Reviewed By PinkQueen1 - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania
There are multiple campuses for Elevation. I recently attended their Code Orange Revival at both Lake Norman and their Ballantyne Campus (this is their broadcast location). The Holy Spirit was totally filling these sessions. I brought friends with me who have felt far from the Lord and re-dedicated their lives to Jesus. Steven Furtick is a gifted preacher and his messages are relevant, challenging and thought provoking. I usually watch online and talk about his messages with my business partners. I have to say that has never happened consistently from any other church I have attended. The worship music is phenomenal and how it is co-ordinated between satellite and broadcast location is seamless and inclusive to all. I would move to Charlotte just to attend any of their locations. I have visited their church 5 times now at various campuses and each time I felt welcomed and cared for.
6. Masterpiece Escapes

You only have an hour to solve the puzzles and escape. The only tools available are the wits and creativity of your group. Can you finish in time. Escape rooms are immersive, themed experiences where you have an hour to solve the scenario. Much like games for mobile devices, only in real life.

Having done a lot of escape rooms, when we pulled up and saw that this was attached to a TableTop store, we were not expecting much. Probably just another cash grab to get in on the Escape Room craze. Boy were we wrong! They only have one room up and running at the moment, but the room had a lot of cool features that we weren't expecting: a lot of tech and variety of puzzles/challenges. Honestly we were expecting a room with linear play and just combination lock after combination lock, but that completely wasn't the case. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The owner was nice enough to give us a preview of their new room and it looks just as amazing. Go check them out!
7. Matthews Heritage Museum

Reviewed By Darryl P - Warner, New Hampshire
Matthews has a history that has been tirelessly been dug up and now presented to the public through the efforts of Paula Lester and the Matthews Historical Foundation. The Matthews Heritage Museum is bound to become a destination for local school kids and for those interested in the histories of small towns in North Carolina. Open on Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays (as of this writing), a visit to the museum can be combined with a casual walk around town, a trip to the Farmer's Market, a visit to the library and a meal or coffee at one of several options near the museum. It would be very easy to make a morning or afternoon of a visit. If you have a large group, I suggest you call ahead and plan with the staff as it is a smaller location and you may need help coordinating the visit.
8. Trail's Dynasty Miniature Golf

Reviewed By bluemnm910 - Indian Trail, North Carolina
This is a wonderful place for couples or families to enjoy an evening or afternoon out. The course is kept up nice and there are some challenging holes. After playing a round or two they have a wonderful sitting area to enjoy the Hershey ice cream sold there. They also have other items to purchase as well. The staff is always friendly. You can even book the place for your church group or birthdays etc.

Wonderful place easily able keep our 5 year old occupied for several hours. Story time at 10:30 was excellent, as were the educational computer games. Several interesting things to grab the kids attention and they were able to interact with other children. Nice for moms too. Free parking underground. Bonus is that it's next to City Market - fun for the adults too.
10. Squirrel Lake Park
Overall Ratings
4 based on 5 reviews
Reviewed By Manatee4Me - Charlotte, North Carolina
I just discovered this park a few weeks ago, and since then have been back at least once a week. It has gently sloping paved pathways that are bike / roller skate / wheelchair-friendly, a pretty little lake, a disc golf course and a well-maintained children's playground. In addition there are bathrooms and water fountains, one of which is at ground level for dogs. It connects to Four Mile Creek Greenway, so there are a variety of trails available for walking and biking. The entrance road is unpaved and a bit rough, but the parking area is paved. Every time I have visited - in good weather and not so good - there have been plenty of people around and I have felt safe. I wish I had known about this park sooner!
