Located in the southwest district of Wilmington near Independence Boulevard, the 58-acre Halyburton Park represents an oasis in the midst of suburban sprawl. A hidden treasure of gently rolling sandhills, wet pine flatwoods and limesink depressions known as Carolina Bays, one of which holds water year round, Halyburton Park offers an abundance of diverse undisturbed plantlife. The park frequently holds fun and educational nature programs for kids and families that are interactive and hands-on. Program topics include long leaf pine forest ecology, animal tracks and signs, trees, pond life and birding. While the park emphasizes the property's natural areas, lighted recreational facilities are also available. A community building serves as a public gathering place, volunteer center, educational facility and an event area for public rentals. The park has a handicapped-accessible 1.3-mile walking/bike trail, a picnic shelter and a playground.
