Robbins Park — Attraction in Cornelius

The tree park is a very nice park with a few cool themed play structures for kids. Slides, rock climbing, and a short rock wall they love to run around up on. Unfortunately it is bounded on one side by houses in the $450,000 to $850,000 range which makes for some not so private play. The other issue being the cars whizzing by on the road on the other side which if you have an adventuress child can make for some running back and forth to make sure they don't go through the gaps in the tiered "fence". To one side is also a large lawn with some sculptures on it and a volleyball playing sand area. That area has signs on it all over that it is off limits except to soccer or volleyball players. There is a a nice walkable path past a "mud pit" as we call them but the mud pit sometimes is closed off due to toxic algea pumping. This path has a very small bamboo "forest" and then after meandering through the trees a bit connects to the other part of a trail that runs behind and goes all the way from the Westmoreland Sports Park on one side and runs behind the Birkdale shopping area on the other all the way to the road and then it ends. A nice long walk. As most walking trails here it runs right under many gigantic power lines which are not the normal size but gigantic super conducted and loud. Which I don't know about you but I don't like to see and hear these buzzing monstrosities when I am out for a walk...

Robbins park has a great play area. We love that platground looks like a tree and that it has plenty of structures suitable for my little climber. I would caution that it seems most appropriate for kids at least 4+. Otherwise, a caregiver would likely want to follow a younger kid around to make sure they don't fall off of the taller things. The play area mostly shaded and has plenty of seating options. The bathrooms are close by and they also have picnic tables. The paved walking trail through the neighborhood is...

You can definitely drive by the park without even noticing it’s here. There is so much more that you can’t see from the road. My husband took a walk through the trails one afternoon last week and brought me after having dinner in Birkdale. I’m so glad he did. It’s a lovely place. I noticed people playing pickle ball in the courts and children having fun on the playground. I even noticed a volleyball net. And they even have restrooms so that won’t be an issue.
