Greenfield Lake Park: Greenfield Lake has become one of the area's coolest parks. With a place to launch your canoe, kayak, or rent a paddle boat, it is unique compared to the other surrounding parks. It has a five mile hiking/biking trail that winds through the park's lush greenery and flowers. There are also playgrounds and tons of room to lay a blanket to have a picnic and relax.
Just a stone's throw from Wilmington's historic downtown, Sunset Park/Greenfield Lake is primarily made up of homes built from 1910 to 1970, when the North Carolina Shipbuilding Company expanded to the Cape Fear. It holds a unique, vintage character. This is a tight-knit community where everyone knows their neighbors.
