W. Ross Harrell Memorial Park.   This neighborhood park is located at the corner of Ashe St. and Walker St.  With its playground equipment and two lighted tennis courts, the park provides recreational options for all ages.  The fenced playground area also offers a gazebo and picnic tables.  Off-street parking is available, and it is conveniently located across the street from Hankins Park where there are bathroom facilities.  No pets are allowed in park.

Bishop Rayford Hankins Memorial Park.    Located at the corner of Walker St. and Wallace St., this park is the perfect spot for a small picnic or a larger get-together.  Cookout under the picnic pavilion on the charcoal grill and enjoy the open space for fun and games.  Handicapped-accessible picnic tables and restrooms are provided.  No pets are allowed at this park.  To reserve the park for a private function, please contact the Town of Burgaw Police Department at (910) 259-4924.

Osgood Canal and Greenway Trail.    This bike and pedestrian-friendly path runs along Osgood Canal and links the Town’s Central Business District, Burgaw Middle School, the Historic Depot, Burgaw Elementary School, and Harrell and Hankins parks.  Currently under construction, the project will ultimately provide five neighborhood parks strategically placed along the trail. 

Please contact Public Works at (910) 259-2901 for all maintenance issues.
