Confirmed from New Hanover Community 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.
Pet-friendly park featuring a playground and disc-golf course, plus a trail network.
What runners say about New Hanover Community Park
“Definitely recommended, but leave yourself enough time to clean first.”
“Great little park, usually not crowded.”
This park is an awesome place to bring your kids it has a playground it has disc golf a Nice walking path in the woods it also has a paved oval that you can walk around the park also good place to walk your dog
I love bringing my grandkids here to play. It's fenced in so I don't have to worry about them running off. Pavilion with picnic tables is great for a picnic. Plus I meet the nicest people here. Great for younger children. Occasionally older kids will be there to use it as a jungle gym.
Great park with benches under a canopy as well as uncovered. The kids playground here was enjoyable for our 8 year olds but also suitable for younger children. Plenty of space to run around in or walk a dog. Not too much else around in terms of scenery though.
Very nice park for the family! Tucked in an unexpected location! Nothing fancy, but nice and clean! Playground, walking/running loop, in-line/deck hockey area...and a great building available for renting for informal events. Always enjoy time spent here!
