Lake Norman views with a playground and paved trails in Cornelius.

What you’ll find

• Playground with baby swings (including adapted swings) and toddler-friendly structures
• Mixed poured rubber and mulch under the play area
• Restrooms near the playground
• Paved walking trails
• Waterfront scenery, with picnic decks and shelters you can rent

What makes it different

• Lake views without a far road trip

Good to know

• Shade is partial around the main play area
• Not a swim beach — the waterfront is look-only
• Free to enter and park. Nearby Ramsey Creek still charges seasonally — don’t assume the two are the same
