Located on the 700 block of Riverside Avenue, this 3-acre park is suitable for fishing, outdoor games, boating, volleyball, picnics and just enjoying the waterfront. The park has a wonderful playground designed especially for the kids and an educational boardwalk over the water to learn about the local flora and fauna while you experience it. Charles Creek Park also offers a fenced-in playground for the little ones.

This scenic park is within walking distance from a variety of downtown shopping, dining and the Museum of the Albemarle, so you can play and experience Elizabeth City without hopping in and out of the car.

A  new picnic shelter with restrooms, grills, tables and electrical outlets can be reserved for a fee. For info on reserving the shelter, call 252-335-1424.
