So not gonna lie. This is probably one of the best parks in Wilmington. Because of the upkeep. The maintenance people are wonderful. The people who run that little like shop education system theyre amazing. I cant wait to have kids Im going to take him here all the time

Peaceful, wooded, natural landscape with running streams and both pavement and wooded trails. Highly recommend

Its a nice park I come and ride my bike I like to just come and sit or just take a walk around the park its quite

Great little park to walk around. It has a 1.3 mile asphalt track around the perimeter of the park. Has a water stand for the dogs to drink water from. Also has interior dirt paths to hike if you want try those.

Nicely wooded paved trail very small hills wheelchair friendly.

We absolutely love this park!! My son has a blast between the two playgrounds and he loves to go inside the building to check out the turtles and snakes!

This location was very well organized with clean restrooms.

Very beautiful and natural

Great park for walking, biking and for your kids to play at the playground!

Great place to walk you have to watch for bikes

Really pretty for a good walk! Small nature trails!

Loved walking here last week! Right in Wilmington. Feels like you are out in the woods. Bathrooms are available. Very serene, with both cement walking path & wooded paths.

Beautiful day for a Thanksgiving picnic!

Beautiful, clean walking paths that are people and pet friendly. Plants and flowers create a lively, colorful pathways.

Great trails and beautiful scenery They even have benches if you need to take a break.

Great for scenic walks and quiet time for introspection. It’s close to major roads but it seems like you’re in absolute wilderness! I love this park. Playgrounds are better at Hugh, but this park definitely wins on aesthetics!

First time going to the park and it was beautiful, alot bigger than I anticipated from when I see it while driving by the park. Great big paved trail with little nature unpaved off road trails. Really felt like I was out in the middle of nature. My dog loved it. Definitely going to go back here again!

Nice place to go get some fresh air now with COVID

Nice for walking, great that playgrounds back open.

Nice area for city park - has playground and walking/running trail. There are classes offered in the Welcome Center that are very informative & most interesting. They have some wildlife exhibits there as well. Picnic shelters are available but I don’t know if you have to reserve or pay to use them.

Lovely park. Nice trails that are dirt and pavement. Dog friendly.

Love this park/trail

Great spot to run, walk a pet, play with the kids, take yoga outside, etc. Clean, nice paved trails. Connects to the Greenway.

Beautiful park with several trails that wind through a natural area with all kinds of native fauna and wildlife.

Beautiful park with great trails! Good variety of small hills. It can get really crowded on nice days, but everyone is courteous. I walked there after dark a few times while training for a half-marathon and felt safe doing so.

Went here with my wife the other day and it was fun hiking trails! Its not extreme hiking but simple bike paths that I would totally rip my bike down. It was a good time, quiet and peaceful.

I have visited Halyburton Park in the past and decided to stop in to walk around between jobs yesterday. It is a very peaceful setting with plenty of tress and shade, a childrens play area, picnic shelters, and a nice welcome center.The Park is very clean and well managed like other New Hanover County Parks. The staff seems to take pride in their facility and it reflects on how nice the park is.The William Halyburton Park is one that I would recommend to anyone looking for a little break and some me time during the day.

Nice walking path in a one mile loop. Nature stations along the way and a nice visitors center.

Super nice walking trail adequate play structure. And the ability to see pitcher plants and Venus fly traps in the wild. Wow!

This is the best park to visit for Pokemon Go players. A shorter loop for for quick visits with 3(!) Gyms and about six stops with a larger loop for a nice 1 mile walk and double the stops. A gathering almost every weekend for raids. A must visit for pogo fans. Dont visit after dark. Police frequent this park and it closes at about 9 pm

Some of my favorite people and dogs walk in this park.

Great place for a walk in the park or to play with your friends or with your children. Variety of trails and nature its quite peaceful.

Nice park. Lots of people walking and biking on the trail. But the lake was dry.

Yelp indicated you could go fishing here, that is not true!

The City of Wilmington (COW) has let this place go to pot. The wood on front of building never painted rotting away. The trees need to be pruned inside park and up and down 17th Street leading into park. The COW has created a 17st extension leading into park with live oaks growing into the road so bad the branches hit your car and scratch it. Trim the trees up and down 17st leading into the park it looks like another one of the COWs 9 ghettos!!!

I love that this park is almost like its a park built into a forest the trail you can walk on is peaceful serene and the scenery is beautiful the visitor/event ce yet staff are always amazing

Loved the park and all the trails. The only thing is that we got caught out a little after dark and I wished there was more lighting along the paths. I had to use my flashlight on my phone to get us back. But considering how it supposedly closes at sunset is probably why they didnt invest too much into trail lights.

This is Cute little park with nice nature walks. They also have a couple of water stations for dogs that are cute. Nice place to go get out of the house and walk.

Nice 1.3 mile circular paved path with un-paved trails also, plenty of pavilions plus playgrounds. Connects to other paved path through Wilmington and to the beach.

I love Halyburton Park. There is a great walking/biking/running path paved all the way around the park. Along the path, by parking, they have a fire hydrant set up so dogs can get something to drink. And there are a few dog waste stations spread out. Behind the park office, there are Nature Trails winding through the woods which are not paved. There is plenty of shade in most areas.

Great place to go for a walk. There is a nice paved trail as well as unpaved wooded trails that cut through the center of the park.

Really enjoy this park. Super close to home, clean trails, and not difficult to get around.

Park is always well maintained. Nice trail that goes around the park for jogging or walking. Playground for the kids,picnic table, and BBQ grill also available.

Great shady trail for walking, biking, etc. Good little playground for kids. Definitely my go to place if I am in the mood to go for a run

A clean fun park. Including within, dog park, beautiful pond, splash pad, zip line and play ground. Many picnic areas. Much much more!!!(This review was for Hugh MacRae park. Sorry for mix up. I also give Halyburton Park 5 STARS!!!)

Its a nice, quiet park. It has nature trails and hard paved paths. There is plenty of wildlife and trees and views to enjoy a nice Evening and you can see the sunset really well through the trees. Theyve also done a great job recently clearing out the brush and debris with a recent controlled burn. Overall, awesome place and lots of nice evenings and snow days even here.

Great little city park! Nice paved trail, or you can choose a number of sandy trails off the main one. Woodsy and natural despite being in town, though you do still hear the traffic. One you could walk alone and feel safe.

Clean, beautiful, cared for. A wonderful event location. The staff was were so friendly and accommodating. All in all a great experience

Great park, long walking trail and have enjoyed the people.

This park is a really awesome place. We try to take our kids here whenever we are in Wilmington. Theres a nice long paved path around the perimeter and a few trails that wind through it. A couple playgrounds near the parking lot as well as a few sheltered picnic tables. Very clean restrooms at the event/community building. I highly recommend this place if youve never been!

Very nice quiet & relaxing walk & visit with my Mom!

Pleasant 1.3 mile walking path around park. Ample parking. Meet and greet friendly walkers and bikers.

The trail is nice but the playground is pretty sparse.

Always a great place for a walk. Trails are fun also.

This is a wonderful place for a leisurely quiet walk. There are several winding trails that lead you back to your starting point. This park is large enough that there is adequate parking and you never feel crowded during your visit. Picnic tables in shady areas also are available. Walking is really a pleasure in this park.

My husband and I decided to host our wedding here. The staff was great Andy was always very prompt answering our questions. They really allowed us to decorate as we wanted. We had no worries about park goers disturbing our big day as the areas were blocked off! Excellent option for those who want an economical choice for their wedding while still having a beautiful venue!

Great place to have family picnic

Nice place for walking, running or biking. I liked the actual nature trails that take you off the pavement and into the woods. Nice change.

My 5 year old loves this park, can play for hours and not get bored.

The walking/biking trail is beautiful and mostly shade covered.

I have a 4 year old boy and 6 month old boy. We went for my 4 year old and he had fun. Little small and harder to access with a stroller but we made it work. Also there is no baby changing area in the bathroom by the childrens area. It was a nice day so I had no choice but to change my son on a picnic table.

Really great place and safe to go bike riding

Fun place to rollerblade.

Seems almost other worldly with its spiky, gnarly trees and sand .. nice loop and the bugs were no where to be seen on a mile October day

Had my daughters first birthday here and it was an amazing location. Still one of my favorite parks in the area. Always clean and well maintained.

Love Halyburton Park. It is so pretty, well kept, and clean. Not only that, but the nicest people work there. Thanks everyone for doing such a wonderful job.

Cool little park with walking trails and some sand dunes. Good place to walk your dog. I’ve never seen it crowded.

Awesome place for a wedding and reception. Perfect for family and friends

Nice walking loop.

It is a small park considering how much foot traffic is there. Lots of dogs on leash (some off) and not always well behaved. If you get lucky and have few people then it is a wonderful experience and right in the middle of Wilmington- youd never know it!

Nice little park for walking or pushing a dog stroller.

Plenty of parking. A great place for a short walk with your pup. There are also some short trails off the main path. A few playgrounds if you have some toddlers. Theres also a really nice indoor complex for events, but I have not been inside yet.

Beautiful walking or running trails. Great play area for children. Places to cook out.

Great place for a walk and a great little play ground for kids, whats not to like.

Love the walking path.

My favorite park in town. Rarely super busy and great walking trail. Visitors center is nice too!

This park has a lot to offer. They have real nice walking and jogging trails. Going through a wooded area most of it is blacktop paved. There are a few areas thats just dirt paths. There is a real nice playground for the children to play at. As well as a nice restroom to use. They do have a small covered picnic shelter and even a nice place to ride a bike as well.For photographers, there are a lot of birds, flying insects and they usually have a nice selection of flowers year-round. They even have bird feeders and bird baths for you to enjoy your time theyre looking at the wildlife. They recently installed a little small water feature, with a little waterfall which is pretty nice.

Great place to walk/run! It has a great playground with swings for the kids. The bathrooms are always clean too.

My kids and I love going to parks, we are new to the area so we hadnt found one to go to yet. We live this park, the trails are awesome...the facilities are clean and it helps that its right down the road from our house.

Lovely park, perfect for walking your dog. 1.1 paved circle through the pines.

Great place to bring the dogs for a walk

Great park, great walking trail, and a perfect place to play Pokemon go or to take your kids to play on their swing sets.

Great park! That is one of the things I love about Wilmington, they take pride in taking care of parks.The only thing that bothers me about this park in particular is that bikers are allowed and they have no consideration for people walking.

Halyburton Park is beautiful and extensive. There is a lot of playground equiptment for kids, a walking trail that connects to Wilmingtons cross-city trail, and a scenic patio connected to its rentable indoor space.Its been a great go to for my friends and I!

Walked 2 miles with one of my dogs and it was great. Beautiful place.

Love this park

I would rate Haluburton as one of Wilmingtons almost hidden gems because alot of residents dont know its there. Its as if youre walking through the peaceful forest in the middle of the chaotic city. Also great for kids and dogs.

The City of Wilmington was smart enough to realize that more parks were needed. Halyburton Park has very nice paved and unpaved walking trails. It is a nice touch of nature in the middle of developments. I used to walk these woods before the park was created. The woods and ponds are just how they have always been. The park has a couple pavilions with picnic tables and a center building that is used for educational purposes. The site can also be used for weddings and parties.

Great playground equipment, picnic tables and shelter, wonderful paved walking trail and several hiking trails. Clean bathrooms as well as water fountains and a nice little information center with several creatures (caged snakes, turtles and frogs) to view. Very kid friendly. Offers a variety of educational programs for all ages and often has yoga or other wellness classes available. My kids love to play here and I enjoy the walking trails with pond views.

Very nice park, clean and very nice for the children. I highly recommend it.

This is a great spot for skateboarding!! The outer loop isn’t quite as long as the one at Hugh MacRae, but it definitely is goose-poo-free. It wasn’t quite as busy as HMR, but it sure is beautiful. I do miss the bigger hills like the two at HMR - there is one decent hill here, but it is a bit hard to see around, so if someone is coming you just have to cross your fingers they’re not all bunched up, causing you to bail or crash and hurt someone.

Looking forward to hosting wedding and reception here and it was helpful and great and giving the tour let me know all the policies

This park is truly a peaceful place, you have nature trails and also places you can play with the kids , there is a place for water for your dog and plenty poop bags along the trail. There is also a same lake as long as there is enough water obviously to sustain it. Please keep in mind this is a nature park and a very good one so you do have a chance with crossing paths with a snake or other animal that might surprise you. Keep kids close and small pets nearby. Otherwise you can have weddings in a very lovely and quiet area that are breath taking

I appreciate the cleanliness and beauty of the park. It was a great crowd and a safe environment. Thank you

I love Halyburton Park! I love that you can walk or run on the nicely paved paths, or escape into the forest on one of there amazing trails and feel surrounded by nature. They always have the cleanest pavilions and restrooms. Such a great park for all seasons!

Nice facility. Went to a NC Wildlife program about bats. Classroom was very neat & clean. Park attendant was very helpful. The class was totally enjoyable, entertaining and well presented. They have a monthly presentation of different subjects. Worth checking out.

Nice park! Two play areas for kids, two picnic shelters with restrooms nearby (which can be rented for an event like a birthday), walking trails, and welcome center has info on local wildlife. Great place to spend some time outdoors!

My son loves this place!!!! This is his favorite park in the whole town. I love the different walking trails and the nature center is small but has some cool things in it. Its a great place to ride your bike or go for a run. They have picnic tables and grills too. Tons of parking and a playground. The kids here are friendly and nice. We meet new people every time we go and have run into kids that my son has played with before. We LOVE this park

We enjoy our walks at the park very much. I have advanced Arthritic and It make a great place for us to go for our daily walk.

They have carnivorious plants here....its a pretty park even if they didnt have them
