Patrolled regularly by local authorities, the Ballou Road access point for this Wilmington preserve stays safe and low-key. Parking and clean restrooms are available, though the running space is limited and there are no fences, waste bags, or water on site. It's a no-frills outdoor spot better suited for a leashed walk than an off-leash romp.
