Read more about this location
Long Leaf Park’s playground is one of the clearest officially documented inclusive play options in Wilmington. New Hanover County identifies it as an inclusive playground for children ages 2 to 12 of all abilities, and the park also offers a Liberty wheelchair swing, nearby shelters, restrooms, walking trails, and a seasonal splash pad with a loaner water wheelchair. This is a practical family stop because it combines accessible play with longer-stay park amenities rather than just a single play structure. It is especially useful for families balancing playground time with siblings who want trails, open space, courts, or splash-pad time.
