WILMINGTON — A 42.5 acre complex, formerly known as Battle Park, has opened as a new greenspace in New Hanover County.
Commissioners hosted a ribbon cutting last week, after more than a decade of planning for Hanover Pines Nature Park at 6101 Carolina Beach Rd. The park includes a 1.25-miles of paved parking trail, a dog park, picnic shelter, restrooms, and owl-themed playground.
Constructed by W.B. Brawley, Hanover Pines Nature Park is considered a “passive park” because of the minimal development required. Passive parks allot for open green space, protection of wildlife, and informal recreation. There are now 17 public parks in New Hanover County.
The park is open 8 a.m. until sunset daily.
