Wilmington, NC – An old New Hanover County farm may be the region's next field of dreams.
Local officials want to purchase the 63-acre Olsen family farm to create a major new sports park between Interstate 40 and North College Road.
When combined with a neighboring 25-acre tract of county land, the planned park would have room for five baseball/softball fields in a 'wagon-wheel' design, as well as multipurpose sports fields, tennis and volleyball courts, walking trails, and a playground.
