Beautiful, economical outdoor settings

   An economical alternative for an outdoor wedding is a public park. Two of Wilmington�s showplaces, Greenfield Park and Hugh MacRae Park, have beautiful spots for wedding ceremonies.
    Greenfield Park�s Fragrance Garden, on the west side of cypress-lined Greenfield Lake, has a lakeside gazebo. In spring, blooming azaleas and wisteria lend spectacular colors. The space is available through the city�s Parks & Recreation Department, 341-7852.

    High MacRae, on South College Road at Oleander Drive, has a natural amphitheater surrounding a small pond, lined with azalea bushes. A small gazebo provides a focal point for a ceremony.
    Facilities for receptions are limited. Picnic shelters can be rented at Hugh MacRae, which is managed by New Hanover County parks, 798-7275.
