Live Oak Commons

Natural Beauty

Located in Wilmington, North Carolina, Live Oak Commons may be small, but it certainly makes an impression. This public park sits right in the heart of the RiverLights community, next to the scenic Cape Fear River.

True to its name, the park is dotted with magnificent live oak trees that create a natural canopy overhead. On hot summer days, these leafy giants provide much-needed shade - well-suited for when you need a break from the North Carolina sun.

Features & Amenities

The commons is essentially a flexible outdoor space where both planned and spontaneous gatherings happen naturally. You'll discover open green areas that are just right for spreading out a picnic blanket, catching up on your reading, or simply watching the clouds drift by.

One of the park's best features has to be its location along the Cape Fear River. The river views are quite nice - there's something calming about watching the water flow by while you take a moment for yourself.

Community Events

Despite its compact footprint, Live Oak Commons transforms into a vibrant community hub year-round. You might stumble upon the local farmers market searching for fresh produce, join an outdoor yoga class to find your zen, enjoy the sounds of live music performances, or gather with neighbors for outdoor movie screenings under the stars.

The park provides a nice space where the RiverLights neighborhood can connect and enjoy being outdoors together.
