Helme Park

Helme Park is one of Surf City’s wonderful neighborhood parks. They feature a small parking lot and plenty of street parking for residents to enjoy the park.
Note: be careful to avoid parking across the street under the pine trees. Indeed, they do actively drip sap which is super hard to clean off of your car.
The park is open during daylight hours (HB Park Rules:
) and is a very family friendly park. There are swing sets and picnic benches to make the most of the park.
Not a huge space for significant walking, so this is not a hiker’s park. But the open green space does make it friendly for playing fetch with your dog, tossing the frisbee around, or light tossing of a ball for a little arm practice.
If you’re going to Sunday services at St Wilfred’s Episcopal or the Lutheran Church on Chapel Lane, this park would offer an lovely apres-​church location for a late morning or early afternoon picnic.
