Things to do with kids in Cornelius
Cornelius is Lake Norman's park town. Jetton Park and Ramsey Creek Park put trails, playgrounds and lake views on the shore, and the Smithville Park Sprayground is the free summer splash. When the weather turns, Urban Air Adventure Park is the indoor energy-burner, and Huntersville's museums are a few exits south.
