Myers Park is a neighborhood and historic district in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States.[2]

Neighborhoods that are near Myers Park include Dilworth and Sedgefield to the west, Eastover to the east, Uptown Charlotte to the north, and SouthPark and Foxcroft to the south. The Little Sugar Creek Greenway runs along the western edge of the neighborhood, adjacent to Freedom Park. Though its boundaries originally coincided with the boundaries of the 1,220-acre (4.9 km2) John Spring Myers farm, the neighborhood, by 2008, comprised 2,200 acres (8.9 km2) and had a population of 9,809. Myers Park is bounded by Queens Road to the north, Providence Road to the east, Sharon Road to the south, and Park Road to the west.[2]

Demographics

Of the 9,809 people living in Myers Park in 2008, 2,249 were under 18 years of age; approx. 1,511 were over 64 years of age.[2] There were 4,643 housing units in Myers Park.[2] In 2024, the median household income of 28207 (Myers Park's zip code) was $230,889.[3] The average home value was $1,597,112[4]

Culture

Myers Park is home to the "Booty Loop", a popular 2.85-mile walking, running, and cycling route.[5][6] The route follows Queens Road to Selwyn Avenue, turns right down Queens Road West to Hopedale Avenue and then right back onto Queens Road, completing the loop. The cycling loop is also the original home to the 24 Hours of Booty annual charitable event, hosted by the 24 Foundation.[7] The 24 hour fundraising event draws hundreds of cyclists and thousands of spectators each year.[8]

The neighborhood's central location and wide, tree lined streets make it a popular choice to include in event routes for local charity runs and the Charlotte Marathon.

Transportation

Mass transit

The following buses from the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) serve Myers Park and the surrounding neighborhoods:

  • #6 (Kings Drive)
  • #14 (Providence Road)
  • #15 (Randolph Road)
  • #18 (Selwyn Avenue)
  • #19 (Park Road)
  • #20 (Queens/Sharon Road)

Roads

Providence Road, Kings Drive, and Queens Road are major thoroughfares in Myers Park. The highly confusing intersection of "Queens and Queens and Providence and Providence" in front of the Myers Park Library is well-known, as when traveling toward Uptown Charlotte on Providence Road, one must actually turn right at the intersection to stay on Providence, not go straight.
