Love this spot. A nice Creek in the middle of a 3/4 or 1 mile path around. Excellent for walking, running or bike riding. Ive seen people fishing here but Im a bit dubious of fishing in a man made Creek. Great for meditation. Seek out the bench on the hill for a Zen like feel and view of the entire park. Kiddies are welcomed with a walking book and the normal swings, etc... Most importantly, there are benches for taking a minute or enjoying a snack and somewhat clean restrooms. But be safe in the time of covid. This is definitely one of the best parks Ive been to. Highly recommended!

Awesome state park for humans and pups. Water is very clean so swimming is always an option. People come here to swim, kayak, Stand Up Paddle Board, and fish. I bring my dog here all the time so he can get his swim on. Its his favorite place on earth.

Great outdoor space & probably my favorite place to walk. There is a path all around the lake which has both wooded, shady areas and full sun areas. There is a picnic shelter and playground as well as a kayak launch. Beautiful, peaceful place with a gentle breeze most days.

Beautiful and quiet New Hanover County Park with a childrens playground, covered picnic tables facing the lake, and adjacent restrooms. Small lake with a walking, running and biking path around the perimeter. In addition, witness beautiful sunsets as a backdrop to the lake.

Nice clean park. The paved walking path was nice. It did have benches that you could take a break and look at the pond.

A walk/jog around the lake is the perfect way to start and end the day. Its a 1.3 mile loop around the lake.

Wonderful walkway completely around the pond. Restrooms and the play area and boat ramp for small boats/ kayaks.

Im visiting my brother and he took me and my son and wife out there it was a great place to walk and chill in nature.

Fantastic local park. Very clean. Can get crowded on the single paved trail during busy times...i.e. after work hours, weekends etc

Beautiful park, not pictured is a small playground that is also a good time. Recommend for a 20-30minute walk around the water on a nice sunny day. Lots of dogs and scenery.

I liked it, its really cool and lots of trails. I just feel like it should be located somewhere else .

Love this park. Toward the backside of the water there are areas that you can walk out in with your dog that are very shallow. There is something for everyone, skating, biking, kayaking, fishing, running, walking, playground for the kids. Go check it out!

I love this park. Even when its busy people respectfully distance themselves from another. You can kayak, run, walk, bike, etc. My dog loves It here

Really nice park with about a 1.25 mile loop. Gets hot on the paved path around the lake, but its a great place to run or ride a bike. Playground is great whenever it opens again after COVID-19 is done!

Very nice location for a walk or run. the water is usually very clean. great place to walk your dog as well. clean and safe for everyone.

So beautiful Great for pics, walking, and I even saw people swimming! Loved it, totally recommended

A lovely park with great energy. A boat landing for small boats and kayaks. The picnic area is sizable and restrooms are available.

Nice big, beautiful, paved loop with a mix of shaded and sunny spots. Perfect for the dogs or just a walk with friends.

Perfect place to bring your kids for some outdoor time. Walk your dogs... etc. Love the lagoon... this is becoming a perfect little get away for us.

Smith Creek Park is a beautiful place has a wonderful lake and a nice Trail to ride around or walk it is also kept very clean I commend New Hanover County on this park

Lovely fall colors and bright blue skies!

Had a great experience, me and my granddaughter caught 2 bass and a lot of brim, had a great time, would suggest this place to anyone

Great place to walk, ride a bike. Pavement in good shape. Huge shelter. Because of pandemic the playground is still closed.

Convenient. Plenty for kids to do here. Fish, bike, skateboard, playground, picnic, etc.

Love this park. Great pathway. Easy to social distance. Pretty lake.

The walk is 1.3 miles and is so nice. The kids love that our half way point is enjoying the water.

Great trails for walking or running. Everyone was wearing masks.

A sweet little county park with a nice, good-sized human-made lake in the center. Paved walking paths with both benches and muscle-training equipment placed along the way, a picnic gazebo with rest rooms and nice kids playground. Lots of dog walkers, joggers, parents with babies, and regular walkers making the circuit around the lake. Except for one long stretch on the south side with no shade in the summer sun, the walk is very pleasant. If you go, use GPS because the park sign at the entrance is facing the wrong direction so its only readable when youre right in front of the turn-in.

Beautiful park for friends to come and distance themselves and visit. There was a beautiful breeze.

Fun walk with the hounds! Good fishing as well. #Smallmouth

There are friendly people and a nice atmosphere fresh air and great for sports

Awsome path with plenty of nice people along the way.

Great walking trail and dog friendly. Can also fish here.

Beautiful lake with a large walkway all the way around it, boat launch with a dock, very quiet/serene. Great place to exercise or relax on a bench!

Good place for walking. You can simply walk around the paved path around the lake or go into the trail in the woods. There is a playground and one big picnic shelter. Nice temperature control bathrooms, open all year. No fenced dog park (nearest one is on Ogden Park) but a good place to walk the dog.

The perfect place to stargaze at night. The best place to hang out at and go for a walk/run/ride during the day. One of my favorite hidden gems!

Great way to get the wiggles out of the kiddos

Very nice. A small ramp you can use for a canoe and a nice walk around the lake which is a smooth walkway.

Its just beautiful

We had such a blast for my sons birthday party

Great place to walk and explore. We walk this place very often. Beautiful views!

Great other than the extremely rough area at boat launch. It will throw you off your rollerblades. Took a bad fall, the rest was good.

Beautiful & a great place 2 walk!!

Great Park to take kids and pets. Huge Lake Beautiful clear water. Has A place to cook on a grill under a shelter. Picnic tables. Bathroom facilities. This is A very nice park. Its clean and peaceful.

Nice bike trail, a little steep in places but pretty nice overall, nice place to kayak also, has bathrooms and playground

Great for running and walking! Beautiful sunset and Pokemon nest! Instinct playground :D

Beautiful Lake with trails, you can do kayaking, paddle boating, nature trails, shelter and play area, love this Park

Love this place. Beautiful scenery for walking, fishing and canoeing.

A wonderful and thoughtfully laid out Park, with a large pond that people fish & Kayak in and woodsy walking trails. Lots of birds and other critters.

Nice but there should be more spots to fish and stock it with more bass

Great school field trip here, would come back.

Awesome dog-friendly park!! Great trail, lake, and a playground. Our puppy enjoyed her first swim!

Very clean at all times. Never seen the park out of order.

Great playground! 1.3m loop is perfect for my littles. :-)

Really nice place to run/walk

Park is great for the family and dogs.

Beautiful park! Great for rc slope soaring on a west wind.

Small nature beauty. Run, Walk, bike, rollerscate, fish, paddle board. Kayak, exeunt place to yoga, picnic children playground. Lots of things to do in this small space. Someone told me that the water is natural spring water comes from the ground. Have not checked the accuracy of that. That mskes sence that sure the water is clear and blue.

Very pleasant experience

Awesome trail to walk around.

Smith Creek Park is a very pleasant Park. jog, bike, and walk,

I like that this park has calisthenics bars for pull ups and dips.

Beautiful park. Great for bike rides

Peaceful place to go for a walk! Lots of turtles interfering with fishing though.

Cute park. Lolz

Its a beautiful park and easy to get to. It has much to offer and is well cared for.

I had a fantastic walk today. Safe and beautiful place to exercise.

Love Smith Creek! Favorite place to take the dogs to swim!

My favorite park in town! Ive taken my dog twice now and we both LOVE it! There is a nice playground, bathrooms, a covered picnic area, a well maintained paved walking path with plenty of cut and cleared grassy area around it (perfect for letting my dog walk in the grass rather than the hot pavement in hot weather). I have several parks closer in proximity to me, but drive across town to go to this one when I have the opportunity. The only addition I would LOVE to see would be a fenced dog park area. A lot of people have kids, bikes, etc out there, so it would be great to have a designated play space for the pups.

A great place to walk. It also offers nature trails in the woods which is nice. Extremely peaceful and has a play ground for kids and a dock for kayaks and things of that sort.

Beautiful family park. Great paved walking trail.

Been here many times. We always enjoy ourselves, beautiful scenery and it is tranquill. Has a 1.3 mile path that circles the lake. Its catch and release rules and you can canoe around the lake but no motors allowed. It has a dock and a boat launch.

Had a wonderful time with my granddaughter playing on the swings and walking around the park. It was very well maintained and the restrooms were very clean. totally enjoyed my time with her and my husband

First time on the Smith Creek Nature Preserve Trail! Too bad the back side bumps up against those new apartments going up off Gordon Rd.

Very peaceful beautiful and always will catch a catfish. Which is exciting and worst patients. Great place to take a family or either just do a little walking by yourself enjoying the scenery

Great little park. The walking path is clean and well maintained. The playground area is unique. My toddler seemed to really enjoy it. The bathroom was clean and the parking lot is a good size. All and all, we really enjoyed this park

A good place to work out

A big bike/walking trail near a beautiful Creek with a nice small playground

Very nice

Good well maintained park, great loop to walk, board or bike.

Really enjoyed going out and killing time just fishing from the bank ! Then I fished with to young boys and that was a lot of fun as I shared some fishing tips with them ! Very well kept area in a nice neighborhood !

What a beautiful park!! The water is so clear that you can see right to the bottom! My doggie absolutely enjoyed himself.

Great quiet place to walk and relax. Im not sure how to say this more accurately but its heavily used without seeming crowded. Almost always a decent amount of people there. Weve always felt safe. Its extremely convenient for those in the northeast of Wilmington.

Nice paved trail around the pond. Theres also a less traveled trail off the main path along the south side of the pond. Great for a little bike ride.

Walking trail and bike trail and fishing..

Dog loves it!

Put down the controller and go outside. Start here.

With in walking distance from the house. Nice trail, paved to walk, run, ride a bike or skate. Playground is small but is clean and in good condition. People are always there, walking dogs, fishing. Yes a nice man made lake for your kayaking and fishing.

I love it here. Its peaceful, beautiful, relaxing. Its a quick getaway without getting away. Only reason I didnt give it a 5 is because they took away trees and land from the little wooded trails and now theres houses. Give us our trees and more trail back

A lovely place to stroll or walk your pup.

The park is a lovely area to enjoy my dog & the peace that only our Lord can give . There are young community young folks that try to ruin the enjoyment at times perhaps they will grow up one day

Hide away park but well known to those in the area. Absolutely beautiful piece of scenery. Always a joy to visit.

Great place to walk your dog around the lake or along the trails. Plenty of places to get doggie bags so the place is clean. There is a playground for the kids and ample parking.

Big walking loop. Trails for bikes. Dog friendly. Kayak, canoe, and fishing. Playground and pinic shelter

This is an awesome park. Always clean and safe.

Great park for the family as well as our fur baby! Beautiful scenery & great place to get exercise and kids play!

Love this park. Nice clear lake for the dogs to swim in and theres a little beach outlook place with sand that we usually stand on and throw a stick with the dogs. Its a 1.3 mile trail, sunny early in the day but mostly shady later on. Such a cute little trail. Theres a restroom, picnic area, workout bars, and a little pier thats super cute. Love the place!

This is a pretty cool park.

The lake is BEAUTIFUL... Nice people walking on the path. Planes flying over looks really picturesque. The family love it.

The part my wife and I like is the 1.35 mile walk around the pond. There is 1 piknic table on the backside of the pond, I think 3 more tables and a grill or 2, it is a nice spot, we stop and share a thermos of hot tea there during cold days. There is a nice playground area and a big covered piknic / bathroom gazebo. A very nice place to spend an afternoon.
