Claude Howell Park is a small but symbolically important pocket park on Wilmington’s Riverwalk, created to honor local painter and arts advocate Claude Howell and to provide a bit of green respite along the redeveloped Cape Fear waterfront. Its story is tied both to Howell’s life in downtown Wilmington and to the broader transformation of the riverfront from working port to tourist and cultural corridor.
Wilmington, NC is full of history. Claude Howell Park at the Orange Street Landing along the Riverwalk is part of the National Historic Underground Railroad Trail, with several historical markers sharing the history of this location.
In 2005, "Orange Street Landing on Cape Fear" in Claude Howell Plaza was officially accepted into the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.
Cute little park at the entrance to the Wilmington boardwalk in Downtown Wilmington. Has a sign explaining the history and naming and a couple benches to sit on.
