Romare Bearden Park – Uptown public park named for a Charlotte artist

Romare Bearden Park is a roughly 5‑acre urban park in Uptown Charlotte named for Charlotte‑born artist Romare Bearden; it opened in 2013. The park features landscaped lawns, an amphitheater, walking paths, and a large fountain, and is used for free community events, outdoor concerts, and local gatherings. Its proximity to performing arts venues and office buildings makes it a frequent lunchtime and after‑work spot for residents and workers in Uptown. The park also displays public art and hosting seasonal programming organized by local institutions.
