The Green,

425 South Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28202

"Clean & beautiful piece of Charlotte. Not far from Epicenter & many restaurants are around if you want to have lunch in the park."

"Quirky literature-themed park in downtown Charlotte. Loved the Charlotte signpost designating the Charlotte, N.C. as the center of the known world. The park also has a variety of other signposts calling out great authors such as Edgar Allen Poe, James Joyce, etc. There are cool statues including two bronze towers of famous novels and an-open faced book with a unique message (see video)."

"Nice place to walk around. Neat features like the book sculptures and author road signs. Lacks a public bathroom as far as we could tell, and we really needed to find one!"

"Attended the SHOUT Charlotte Festival on The Green with family. It was so much fun. Art, entertainment, and food trucks. (The photos are primarily from the festival I attended. ) The Green is lovely. Lots of places to sit or bring a blanket and relax on the lawn. You can even bring your dog. There is street parking with pay meters, as well as an indoor garage next door. It is $3 for the first half an hour and then $3 for every 20 minutes after that. There are lots of restaurants nearby. It's a nice place to go with family when you don't want to spend a lot of money."

"Someone had a great vision to create a green space in Uptown. I enjoy everything about it & especially the references to books and authors. I looked around at other people and could see them really enjoying the park. By the way, there is a public restroom in the building just beyond the “colorful directional signs.” The next time you are in the area, you have got to check out The Green. Perhaps even pick up lunch and have it outside and stay a while."
