The best park in the Wilmington area. This park offers best nature experience with the trees, fountains, gazebos. The lake itself is so beautiful particularly the sunrise and sunset views are worth a million. The 5 mile trail so so pleasant to walk and riding a bike.If you are here always look for the best views, alligators and turtles.

Beautiful water and cypress trees. Paved trail around the lake is 4 miles, which I think is a nice distance, especially for a city park. My only complaint: I saw people throwing food into the water when alligators were present. Please do not feed the alligators!

Beautiful as always with mossy trees. Theres something for everyone. Skate boarding, tennis, canoeing or just checking out the scenery. Defiantly a day time place though. At night its a completely different scene& one should be careful.

Great park. Great wildlife and flourishing ecosystem!! Very PET friendly. Excellent spit to break down for two months at. The community is full of helpful caring people. We vacation twice a year to the Wilmington, Carolina Beach area just to support the local jobs and community. They were there for us when we needed it!!! #vigilanthope

Beautiful, peaceful, large area to go and do whatever you like outside, near water with beautiful views, nature and environment. Hard to find gems like this around here! You can also go on the lake and fish or explore, whatever you desire. Its amazing when you do.

A very nice place to bring the family. Bring a picnic basket and eat (tables available). Children can play on playground equipment. If youre up to it, come and enjoy a 5-mile walk around Greenfield Lake. Paddle boats are also available.

Nice park but as another person had mentioned, there are alot of homeless in the pavilion area. Especially in the evenings. They could use some extra people to pick up trash along the lake shore too. Wouldve gabe it 5 stars if not for those 2 things

What a beautiful place. I visited this area several times on my 4 day visit to the area. Its a beautiful park to walk and visit.

Nice 4.5 Mile walk around the lake. Plenty to see. Nice paved path for walking or biking.

Firstly I love Greenfield Lake park. They have restrooms, multiple play areas for kids, beautiful scenery, and a long jog path all the way around the lake. Sadly the last time I went, there were people sleeping on the picnic tables, clothes left all over hanging too dry in the observation area, and lots of trash in the lake nearby.

Beautiful walk around a pond for 4.5 miles.Saw many turtles and few alligators!!!

This place was beautiful. You can smell flowers all the way around the trail. There ate places to rent paddle boats and there are rest spots all over. It was such a pleasant walk.

A great place to walk, run or have a picnic or go fishing. We walk the trail it is around 4.5 miles around the lake. Beautiful flowers

Went here yesterday. Went left on the trail at the entrance (the trail is too big to walk around in one go for us!) And went over the bridge and saw 5 alligators and lots of turtles. They all come towards you because i think people have been feeding them too much and they assume people will give food to the turtles which brings the fish in. Do not feed the animals though! Love this park in downtown.

Nice park for a get together. You can rent small 2 person paddle board here I. The summer.

We love shooting engagement and bridal sessions at Greenfield Lake Park in Wilmington. The scenery and lighting change depending on the season but its always a great place to photograph our clients. Photos by: Keepsake Memories Photography

Great place just to get away from the craziness in the world. Peaceful quite. Plus gotta love the gators and turtles. Lol

Very disappointing. Trash everywhere which was sad to see....but the biggest issue was the lack of security. Homeless people all over the place staring down my wife and making comments towards her. Pill bottles and syringes on nearly every shore bank. The further away you get from the main entrance, the sketchier the place is. Odd characters and meth heads all over the place. Definitely wont be back, and wouldnt recommend anyone go alone or with children.

The best park around keep an eye out for the gators.

Love this gorgeous Wilmington park! We traveled to shoot a clients engagement session here and were so happy with their location request! Lots of variety and so well maintained, a nice little town treasure!

Pretty cool lake scenery is beautiful look out for the gators and other local wildlife , unfortunately seems to be a bit of a homeless situation there though too , aside from that part cool place to check out if in the area

Nice inter-city park with a lake where you can rent kayaks and paddle boats. 4.3 mile walking trail is concrete and blacktop. Pick nick tables and shelter houses sometimes taken over by the local homeless people.

Always a great place to take the kids to look at wildlife. Always plenty of turtles and if you are lucky a close up view of an alligator.

Was a great place. Saw my first alligator in the wild. Met some nice people while walking around. Would recommend for anyone that likes walks and wildlife.!

An excellent place for family, photography and peacefulness. Its also a great place to exercise. The park offers paddle boats, kayaks and canoes for rent. Fishing is plentiful here too

I love the park! I recently moved to the area and had a hard time finding a trail. This one is long enough for my hyper puppy and it’s beautiful too. We also saw an alligator! So beware of the signs.

Very pretty! Loved all the turtles, alligators and herons. Very tranquil.

Great place to get a good run in with great scenery!

It was beautiful. It was clean and not too crowded.

A vwry beautiful, peaceful place. Lots of bridges and walking paths.

Nice lake and walking trail. Unfortunate wildlife has to swim in human trash.

This place is nice to take your children there’s a small park for the little ones and a bigger park for the older kids. There’s even a place for you to skate board and a tennis court.. there’s a place to rent paddle boats but be careful for the gators in the water.. when we went we saw one right at the pier and it was just sitting there looking at us I guess people feed them.. that’s what it seemed to be waiting for. I love that you get to see nature’s beautiful animals up close and personal.. just be careful not to get eaten by a gator lol

I love the bike/walking trail here. Plenty of beautiful pit stops along the route. Just the right length without being too long or too short.

Beatiful walk. Often see gators, turtles, heron and other wildlife. Nice paved walkway. Lots of places to pause and enjoy a view.

Great place for @ 4 mile walk. But not alone.

Beautiful paved, landscaped trails with bridges and scenic overlooks. Alligators and turtles abound!

Lots of alligators! Beautiful walking trail.

Beautiful in nature .!! Great walk on a better day!!

Beautiful place to visit, the park is awesome to walk around and go across the little bridge near the lake to see alot of turtles and a alligator or two, which is pretty cool to see.

Awesome park to view turtles and alligators!!

Such a lovely place to take a walk or ride a bike!

Its a nice park to take the kids too

Nice place to site see. They have paddle boats, canoes, and more. A nice park too.

Awesome five mile walk! Great place to see turtles, gators and enjoy paddle boating, canoeing and fishing.

Aside from the hobos, it was nice. I just dont like old greasy people staring at my daughter.

We got to see this guy. I got about 5 feet from him to get this pic.

Love fishing this lake. Fish are always biting. Just keep an eye out for the gators

Few years ago it was much cleaner. But its still beautiful, of course.

Very peaceful, calm and quiet in most places. Place where one can canoe and paddle boat riding.

Loved the park and the lake however the bathroom was gross. Walked in with my 2 young daughters only to see obscene graffiti. Not to mention the fact that Id rather pee on myself then go anywhere near the stalls. Posting pics, something needs to be done.

Visiting grandkids and great grandkids Im from out of town what a nice park for doing things outdoors.

Beautiful quiet and relaxing. Love this park.

Great place for photo shoot or to visit aligotors

Now this is a nice park. Great at any time of the day. Its a great lake to walk around and even better if you bike around it. Stop Midway on one of the benches and enjoy yourself some nice horderves. Maybe even crack a cold one

I love feeding the Alligators and water moccasins here......one of my favorite places in Wilmington.... Besides the beach the Movie studios...and Haunted downtown...so much to do here-

Peaceful, paddle boat kayak canoe

Beautiful place to visit..

Cool place! There are several nice spots.

Cant wait to get back there again its such a beautiful place

Awesome place to see gators

Great playgrounds within the park (41 yrs old and had fun on a few of them myself! Lol) Trails leading around the park with raised, picturesque, wooden bridges. There are kayaks and water boats to rent. They have free music festivals periodically. The nature! Squirrels, flowers, birds, lush trees, Gators and turtles. Plenty of picnic spaces and tables. Its rated E for Everyone :)

Absolutely beautiful! Everyone we saw spoke and said hello. The walk around the lake was beautiful and peaceful. They even had mile markers and water fountains around the trail!

This place is great. You can ride your bike, walk, or run around the lake if you want to. You can play tennis, skateboard, play at the park, fish, or just sit down and enjoy nature. I saw an alligator and lots of turtles. I also saw big fish in there. Oh you can also rent canoes or paddle boats to go on the lake. Fyi if you use the skate park bring a helmet or you wont be allowed in.

Beautiful park! A great place to walk or bike, and has a nice playground for little ones.

Love it amazing beautiful nature scenery! Fun walking trails, parks for kids to play and ones for little kids too. Paddle boats and canoes. Gators and turtles in the water you can see! Very fun experience. I go on a weekly basis.

Lovely place very calming

One of my favorite parks. Perfect place for a walk/run

Beautiful park with a lot of things to do there

This is nice place to walk around and enjoy the outdoors in the city.Definitely check it out!

Nice 4.5 mile walking trail around lake where you can see turtles, birds and maybe alligators depending on the weather!

It is a very beautiful Park. there is a 5-mile trail that goes all the way around it for biking or walking and there are many beautiful trees and flowers. There are also hundreds if not thousands of turtles in the lake as well as alligators. You can rent paddle boats or a canoe and it is very nice place to be. The only downside is that due to the hurricane and the housing crisis in Wilmington, there are quite a few homeless people milling about. they do not bother you or anything like that but I would imagine to some people it could be quite off-putting.

Natural beauty in the best biggest small town!

Love it watched skate boards do their things had fun walking to the lake feeding the wildlife ever tho they say not to still did anyway hee haw !!!!

Only stopped to get our bearings and use restroom....wound up walking around and spending a few hours...nice and quiet and restful

A perfect oasis in the city.

Nice park overall.. I just dont like to see all the garbage in the water everywhere and the fact that the homeless population basically lay claim to the covered picnic areas..

Nice park with a lot to offer for what ever activity you enjoy! Just wish the playground had more to offer. We live out of Wilmington, in Greenville NC.

Love this place. Lots of wildlife. Inexpensive paddleboats.

Excelent 4.5 milles trail around the lake.

An absolutely beautiful park. The citizens of the City of Wilmington are lucky to have this fantastic resource.

I know there have been some stress on the landscaping and foliage since hurricane season started. But if Florida can make their surrounding areas where populated and paid for as nice and landscaped as it should be so should Wilmington parks and surrounds be so.

Beautiful place to just sit and relax! Came pic nicking there often growing up and decided to watch the sun come up there this morning Its much nicer now than back then and I still loved it then. Only thing i cant figure out is where to park if i want to cross the wooden cross walks on the left side of the pond looking in from the overflow at the 421 corner

A perfect place to walk on the trails, or just relax and walk your dog. Has a variety of plants, birds and a couple alligators in the lake.

We had a awesome time!!

Hot in the summer. A fun time paddeboating. But Id avoid it in the summer months.

Great 4 mile paved walkway/ bike trail around the park with scenic views of the variety of fauna and wildlife including alligators and woodpeckers. Paddle boat and kayak rentals available.

Great place to go see turtles and alligators! You can rent kayaks and paddle boats. Perfect for the entire family.

Calm, beautiful park. Fun place to kayak and spot some gators.

Great bike ride! Do the outer loop. Its 4.3 miles. Great scenery and variety of riding. A few bumpy spots but thats what makes it more interesting. 3 wooden bridge crossings and some sharp turns also keep you entertained. Be prepared for a lot of goose droppings this time of year but thats not a problem, unless it bothers you getting it on your bike tires. The geese are enjoyable to watch as you ride by., No alligators today but they are out there especially in warmer weather. Several scenic spots to stop and rest if you need to and watch the wildlife.

Run the park when visit from uk. Love it. Something new to see every day

Beautiful park. Very family oriented. Great paved path around park for both walking & biking.

Favorite park in Wilmington, barely considered downtown. Beautiful lake with a nice walking trail, playground and paddleboats. The trail is right at 4 miles which is great for a jog or a scenic walk, see if you can spot an alligator;)

Love this place! Steven Kings movie Silver Bullet was filmed here!

Great 0lace to have lunch, walk and take the kids. There is a skate park as well as play places and picnic area. You can also rent paddle boats!

Beutiful place to walk around and watch the ducks and alligators. Clean restrooms

This park has so much potential but needs a lot of work.

Very neat walking park

I always loved the park an still do its quiet and has lots of things to do but mostly you can get a piece of mind there you know an think a get away break

BEWARE THE NIGHTS!! This is an old werewolf hunting ground. Use bottle rockets if no other weapon.

We love Greenfield park!
