Bishop Rayford Hankins Memorial Park Community Splash Pad Development Plan
Burgaw Entry Peninsula Only 0.36 acres, this green space area marks the transition to the town’s historic downtown area. It is linked with the other town parks by the Osgood Canal Greenway and Urban Trail. It is not currently used for much recreational activity due to its proximity to two busy roads and small size. A blueberry statue is located inside the park to represent the annual North Carolina Blueberry Festival. Wilmington Street Park Originally slated for a children’s playground area with bathrooms, this 1.03-acre park is currently considered a space best used for more passive activities due to neighborhood concerns. No official function for the park has been designated. The town has planted trees on the lot for beautification. This lot is currently located within the floodway. Rotary Park This park is immediately adjacent to Cape Fear Community College and provides the playground and pavilion amenities originally planned for Wilmington Steet Park. Playground equipment includes both a tot lot and equipment for older children, and the pavilion includes picnic tables and restrooms. There are also regulation-size basketball and volleyball courts. The park is immediately adjacent to the Osgood Canal Greenway and Urban Trail.
