Colonel Francis Beatty Park

Yes, you can fish! They have plenty off shore fishing, from the bank, from canoes, small boats, and the pier. My family and I have fished here many times. My sister and brother-in-law recently caught some pretty decent sized fish. My mom has caught more fish than anyone in my family. I've seen small boats as well as canoes there! We also have family gatherings and pinics there. Nice park!😁

Yes, they have charcoal grills at most picnic tables

Yes, please don't let them off leash on the trails.

No!

Yes

No

Nope

BYOK

Yes you can you need to pay the 50 bucks extra for the liquor permit but thats it

Absolutely! You can walk around the entire lake so it's really up to you! I would avoid the spots where people are likely to have gone fishing, we have seen quite a few abandoned books and lures - would hate for your puppy to step on one.

Don't know whether it's technically "allowed" (I doubt it), but it's a bad idea. Too much trash that can never be totally cleaned up. Lots of dogs and birds/ducks/geese that would ingest it before it had a chance to deteriorate. Best to avoid this. The marriage glow from the happy couple will be a big enough celebration.

No

Absolutely! They have covered gazebos and grills.

There are an abundance of fireflies but during the hottest evenings are best. Just remember the park can close right after dusk so you will only have a few minutes to enjoy them

Depends on what part of the park but beautiful by the lake

It's free

There are small scattered picnic tables, but I'd you want a sheltered area, I would reserve. Doubt they will allow bounce house, but you can ask.

With a NC fishing License.

Sunset

No

https://www.mecknc.gov/ParkandRec/Pages/Home.aspx I didn't see anything telling you not to take your dog on a canoe.

I checked the website and the Tennis courts are open from Sunrise to 10:30pm. (Summer hours) The main gate would have to be open for those hours at least.

I don't know about a pantoon boat at the lake, however, I've seen canoeing on many, many occasions! We're there fishing a lot!

The signs are easy to follow

I'm not sure. You can use certain areas can be used by the community for family reunions and BBQS. I guess wedding party would be the same.

Not sure if there is an official time. Last time I asked they told me "sunrise to sunset".

There are two picnic shelters that can be reserved. If shelters are not reserved, anyone can use on first come first serve basis.

No but there is a championship disc golf course at S Tryon and W Tyvola at Renaissance Park

You can reserve the facilities through Mecklenburg Parks and Rec. https://www.mecknc.gov/ParkandRec/Parks/ParksByRegion/SouthRegion/Pages/Colonel%20Francis%20Beatty.aspx

240 on weekdays, 6 hour rental, 480 on weekends also 6 hour rental

No

I have sern a few caught. Lashes like this naturally repopulate, with the aid of the birds. You can check with Charlotte Mecklenburg Parks and Rec. Of course, they may confirm Debbie S . . .

Cat fish

Yes

Dogs are to be leashed at all times in Beatty Park. Try the dog parks mentioned by the others.

No paddle boats
