The Fabulous Parks and Playgrounds of Topsail Island

The Fabulous Parks and Playgrounds of Topsail Island

Topsail Island has tons of free fun on hand! Want to go to the park? 

Sometimes you just need a break from the beach, sand, and sun! Instead, you might be seeking a shady tree, a simple playground, or a grassy picnic spot. There are several lovely parks scattered across the three towns of Topsail Island. Here are a few of our favorites!
