Is Freedom Park public land? Even if it is, some parks are beginning to ban mding. They are here in Rowan County. Usually there's a assign with the park rules somewhere

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard! Take a look at Sub-Forums: North Carolina for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.

2nd - I moved this thread from HELP! over to Forum: North Carolina for more exposure.

Hi sophanator2000, I live in Charlotte too. Did you have any luck at Freedom Park ?

It'd against Park & Rec's rules, but we do it anyway!

As long as you stay away from the kids and don't tear the place up, they usually don't say anything.

GL! I found a St. Christopher and a silver ring there.

Interesting thread and topic. Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte are on a push to purchase land for open space, nature preserves, and parks. From the Mecklenburg County Park and Rec Ordinance: SECTION 5:No person shall willfully and intentionally remove, destroy,cut down, scar, mutilate, injure, take or gather in any manner any tree, flower, fern, shrub, rock, artifact or other plant or mineral in any park unless authorized by permit. My understanding is that this refers to "Parks". So Freedom Park is technically off-limits. However, Park and Rec also has purchased large plots of land and they are classified as "nature preserves". The rules really do not apply to nature preserves but if the park rangers see you they may ask you to leave. I see lots of hunters tree stands in nature preserves and I don't think the rangers are actively running the hunters off.
