First opened on Founders Day 2004 and expanded in 2006, the Leland Municipal Complex Park is the Town’s first park. At nearly eight-acres in size, the park includes a playground, gazebo, picnic tables, benches, pet waste stations, open green spaces and a 0.6-mile paved multi-use path. The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Public restrooms are available in the Leland Recreation Building from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Mill Creek Water Access Park

Made up of 27 acres of wetlands donated to the town in 2005 from Kirby Sullivan and 1.2 acres of uplands acquired with a 2007-2008 Coastal Waterfront Access Grant from the state Division of Coastal Management, the Mill Creek Water Access Park, located at 844 Appleton Way, provides citizens with the Town’s first water access site. The access is designated for people to launch kayaks, canoes, rowing shells and small motorized “Jon” boats. Future plans for the park include improvements to the boat launch area, the addition of docking, a boardwalk nature trail, parking improvements and other amenities. The goal of the project is to create a fully-functional neighborhood water access with an environmental education center that can be utilized by the public and local schools.
