I was a little surprised to find that this park was not listed on Yelp yet. It's been around for a while. The park is located in The Bottom neighborhood in Downtown Wilmington. The city lists it as 401 S. 8th Street, but the park borders S. 10th, Ann and S. 8th Streets.
Quick Summary
- It's a city park
- One Pavilion
- Baseball field that also used as a soccer field
- There is a swimming pool
- Several tennis courts that are also used for pickle ball
- One playground area for kids
- Very large open field
Additional information
The park is in an up and coming area. It's safe to visit but I would probably not hang out after dark. Dogs are allowed but not in the tennis courts or ball fields. No doggy poop bag stations so bring your own bag.
The large field has lots of ant mounds so keep that in mind while you are walking across it. Not sure if the city tries to control the ants or not. They will bite your ankles if you let them.
Every now and then a few jack wagons will ride their dirt bikes and 4 wheelers through the park, so watch out for that. You also get a lot of litter along the sidewalk on Ann Street from pedestrians and passing cares. Some folks just give a crap. read more
