New Castle Battery Park

"Great walking path park! Dogs allowed on leashes. Huge fields to play in. Large Kids playground with newer equipment, great jungle gym. Perfect paved trail for walking or biking or rollerblading or using a stroller. Fair amount of parking in multiple different locations along the trail. There’s a smaller parking lot at the beginning of the trail near the pier but there’s an even larger parking lot further down the trail. Excellent views over the water. Tons of benches to sit at and enjoy the view. Historic landmarks about New Castle and military honorable plaques. There’s a memorial for General Thomas Holcomb of the Marines, he was from New Castle! Also this is a historic location of one of the first railroads in America! Awesome relaxing location to enjoy an outdoor adventure! Great for families and adults!"

"Great historic city for those who love American early founding. Not a place for Marxists or Communists. Many movies filmed here. Very original architecture. Expensive to eat dinner here, but a great place for sight seeing. Go to the wharf to see one, if not the first train station from 1832, used by slaves to flee the south."

"Love the view from here and the long, paved trail. Great place to picnic, take kids to run around, or walk the dog. Usually has a nice breeze off the water, too. There can be a bit of goose droppings to dodge on the trail sometimes. Wonderful place to walk or run and to take the dog for a walk! We don't even live in the state but make it a point to travel here a least once a month."

"The park itself is wonderful. Plenty of things for the kids to play on while enjoying the wildlife in and around the water. But the parking areas are not clearly identifiable from the main roads. You kind of have to just keep turning down roads until you find them."

"Nice place to walk dogs. Beautiful views. Don't see any options in town where you can dine outside or get coffee outside with your fur babies. If I missed something please correct me. Walking along the water was amazing. Beautiful area."
