Tips from locals
closest Lynx light-rail station; free parking; easy access; park-n-ride uptown
If we are going uptown we like to drive and park at this station which is the first stop of the CATS train system. We ride the train to uptown to save on parking and make it more exciting trip.
The 485/South Blvd Station is the closest for taking the train uptown. Get dropped off right at the heart of uptown for Panthers Games, Nascar museum, Hornets games, Epicentre, museums, and everything uptown Charlotte. On the way find several stops that take you to FutoButa (best Ramen onEarth) or Luna's Living Kitchen (rethink how good raw vegan can be)
If you want to go to South End or in the City it's very convenient to just park at the Lynx station off South Blvd. and take the light rail. Then you don't have to worry about parking in the city.
