Keeping Watch – Reid Park’s history with Irwin and Stewart Creek

PlanCharlotte has conducted an incredible, in-depth history of Charlotte’s creek and waterway system as part of their Keeping Watch series. The site discusses each important creek in Charlotte and its complex history filled with good memories and abuse that have shaped how we see and enjoy the creeks today.

Of special interest is the piece on Irwin and Stewart Creek that border our partner neighborhoods like Enderly Park and Reid Park. Rickey Hall of Reid Park and other area residents talk about their experiences and how the creeks have been used and abused over time.
