Blue Heron Park

Description

Blue Heron Park is a Town of Emerald Isle community park behind Town Hall and next to the Parks and Recreation Community Center. Its mix of play and sports amenities gives families several options in one stop: children can use the playground and fossil pit, while older kids and adults can use the basketball court or two lighted tennis courts. A gazebo and picnic pavilion support breaks and packed lunches, and the park also provides restrooms and a bike rack. The playground is the clearest draw for younger children, while the courts broaden the appeal for school-age kids and teens. Town rules list park hours as sunrise to sunset, with park use first come, first served and no reservation required. The Town's accessibility information identifies free accessible parking at Blue Heron Park, but it does not document accessible routes, restroom features, or accessible playground equipment.
