Wilmington NC will officially open its newest park, James E.L. Wade Park, on Thursday, January 29, 2009, at 10:30 am. The city's newest park is located at the end of Bethel Road, off Waltmoor Drive.
The Bethel Road Stormwater Wetland was completed mid-2007. The design helped improve water quality in Hewlett's Creek. The park is located on the wetlands. It includes a 3/4 mile path, a picnic shelter, three bridges, restroom and playground.
