About The Park:

Southbridge Wilmington Wetlands Park is an award-winning model green space and green stormwater infrastructure project. Opened in October 2022, the park is a restored wetland with many native plants that provide habitat for birds, fish, and other aquatic wildlife In addition to being an urban green space for residents to enjoy.

Southbridge Wilmington Wetlands Park is a nature-based solution to combat flooding in the Southbridge neighborhood of Wilmington. Stormwater that would normally inundate the city sewer system and flood streets and homes is now directed to the wetland, which manages the floodwater and moves it into the adjacent Christina River.

Since the opening, plans to enlarge the restored wetlands area (and its stormwater holding capacity) have been underway and are expected to finish in 2026.

Where is the park?

Southbridge Wilmington Wetlands Park is bordered by A Street, Walnut Street, and Garasches Lane in South Wilmington. Both events will be located at the park’s east entrance off A Street by the turf fields.
