This place is also PERFECT for kids. There's a nice and clean sandbox, swings, and a jungle gym.

My friend and I came here on a Saturday morning. I didn't realize there were so many parking lots…read morearound, but we parked where the GPS took us. We walked a bit to the right and there were so many dogs - it must be an unofficial dog park, or happy hour for the dogs. They were all so cute. My friend had come before so he recommend we walk to Wright's Tower since it gives a vast view of the neighboring houses and landscape but also Boston in the far distance. It was a perfect hike of about 45 minutes there, and about an hour back since we did trailblaze a bit. We were following a GPS, but there are colors and signs periodically on the trees to guide you through the trails. I wouldn't say its too scenic, but it is relaxing and the terrain is perfect, with some spots being intermediate level but mostly all of it being beginner or easy. We did see some people on bikes, and others jogging. When we got to the tower, we went inside and climbed the stairs to the top. From there, you can look out in all directions to get some really nice views. It is worth the climb. We plan on eventually going back and trying longer or more challenging trails. But overall I think it's a gem that isn't too far from the city.

80% of our time here is spent at the new Wilmington dog park. The park is decent but man does it…read morehave some serious flaws that I will address But first the positives; there are about 25 parking spots and if there isn't a softball game going on at the park below, it'll never be full. People are coming and going all the time to the dog area or on a quick hike in the back Its not like the Fells where you have bike warriors revving up for a 30 mile day on the trails and they never leave. The hiking trail that goes around the park and through some pretty desolate wetlands that look like dinosaurs live in them won't take you more than 15 minutes to complete. There are some side trails but most lead to the wetlands and you can't go any further. It's a nice jaunt after work for you and Fido. And then there is the controversial dog park. Firstly, they don't collect any trash here or at other parks in Wilmington so be prepared to take your poop bag with you. I don't know why they couldn't have made an exception here because there are way too many disgusting owners who just leave it behind for the town crew to retrieve. The park itself was built on a hill and its 100% sand. This was a major blunder because the drainage is terrible and either pools at the bottom in a disgusting puddle of dog uuhhmm things, or washes the sand out of the park completely. This really needs to be fixed because it's not going to hold up over time. Most of the dog owners are good even though there are some people who can't seem to realize their pet shouldn't be around others before they end up hurting another in the park. This is great for the area in terms of the benefit it adds but still has a long way to go to become a top notch park.

There are two "lots" available for parking as well as the street which depending on when you go, is not too bad. (Do not park in the church lot to the left of the spots by the playground). Can't say that I have seen the sunrise, but the sunsets are beautiful. In the summer sometimes you can rent out kayaks or pedal boats. There are two playgrounds for kids (one by church lot, other by honeydew side). Really pretty to see during the different seasons. Definitely recommend if you're looking for somewhere outdoors to exercise, sit in the sun, enjoy a picnic, etc.
