Beautiful views of the battleship at sunset, fun shops and restaurants. 1st hour of parking in the city garage is free, take the chance to take a walk! There are horse drawn historic tours, walking tours and seasonal festivals/markets. I have even ventured South to the boat launch (free parking) near the South bridge and walked through the historic neighborhoods to take in the essence of Wilmington. Wear comfy shoes, bring a camera!

Very close to home! Perfect 1.25 mile paved trail around the lake. Great for sunsets, walking, running, biking or park bench sitting! There are lots of kids, large groups and pets near the parking area, but out around the lake there are spots for fishing, bird observation and I have even seen deer! I go to this park almost every day and have a photo on the listing.
