Marstella Park playground

One of those spots you feel a little smug about knowing — Marstella Park has a small playground that flies under the radar compared to Wilmington’s bigger options, but that’s honestly part of the appeal. Kids seem to love the element of discovery here, and parents appreciate that it’s not overrun on a Saturday morning. It’s a solid neighborhood find if you’re in the area and need somewhere low-key to let little ones burn off some energy.
