Old Paper Mill Road Park

"I've been running here for the last 2 years it is peaceful and has extremely beautiful scenery"

"I absolutely love Delaware for it's beautiful parks. This one does not disappoint. There are also other smaller parks spread out in the vicinity. The reservoir was great and has a seasonal schedule for boats and open swimming. There is a trail off the paved track. The children's playground was awesome and the bathrooms are close by the playground. Plenty of parking."

"This park has a toddler friendly playground. It also has a nice incline up to the water/ reservoir. It needs benches for seating."

"The reservoirs a beaut, up on top of a hill you can see most of Newark and UD. The trail around the reservoir is paved and flat pence you get up to the loop. There’s also trails that branch off into the woods on one side which are dirt and good for hiking or biking on. It’s nice and cool and windy at the top too with the water and the elevation and all."

"The Newark Reservoir, one of the best places for a walk or a run or simply to catch a breath of fresh air. Though located close to Newark Downtown, it gives you a feeling of getting away from the rush. I have been here so many times that I kind of know where to find the deers grazing and at what time I can expect the wild geese to fly in over the reservoir. Would recommend this place to all."
