Confirmed from Georgetown Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Paved, clean park with a playground and a trail featuring exercise equipment.
What runners say about Georgetown Park
“It's a clean and fun park, with walking paths and exercise equipment, which is kinda cool.”
This park is adjacent to the Board of Elections and the Onslow County Animal Shelter. I provided the animal shelter's hours for those interested in adoption. The park features a small, circular design with a compact playground and exercise equipment, all paved.
Nice little paved trail with excersise equipment along the way. The playground would great for kids of all ages, I'm in my 30's and I thoroughly enjoyed the swings. Lol. They also have a covered seating area with grills.
Very nice place to simply go and relax. Our 2 year old granddaughter lives in Texas so we love bringing our 7 year old & our 2 year great nephew & niece here to enjoy our time with them. I was VERY disappointed to read that a younger person was upset that "older" people come here to hang out.
Cute neighborhood park near the animal shelter and utility office. It has a pavilion, a good size playground, a walking track and exercise machines, bathrooms. It's also near an old cemetery. We like to visit the park and then the old cemetery to pay our respects. A few veterans are buried there.
