5. Ogden Park

Reviewed By pparrothead - Wilmington, United States
It has been awhile since we have visited Ogden Park. So my wife and I decided to take our granddaughter there to enjoy a walk and to let her ride the swings and slides. First off, this park is meticulously maintained...The ballfields, walking trails, pond, picnic gazebos, and basketball courts are all fantastic. Our granddaughter wanted to walk around the pond first and then we headed to the children's play area. There are swings, slides, jungle gyms, etc...Another nice aspect of the play area is that there is mulch on the ground so that if a child falls they are less likely to get scratched or hurt.... Overall, this is one great facility. However, some of that may change in the near future as the by-pass highway is going to cut it in half...As horrible as that sounds, yes it is unfortunate and true. Even though the by-pass will have an overpass right over the access road that leads to Market Street near the basketball courts and dog play area, it should add quite a bit of noise to the entire park.... What a horrible decision by those involved with this by-pass....Let's all hope for the best.
