Reviews
"Great place for a picnic and an occasional walk by the river."
"This park was off the beaten path, and beautiful! Very nice picnic area with a playground and public restrooms that were clean. I loved the view of the water. Great place for a family outing, gathering or just to take a walk or a bike ride. You will have to pay for parking. $8 if you live outside of Delaware, $4 if you are a Delaware resident."
"This little park is very relaxing. A hidden gem. Plenty of parking. Family friendly place to take the kids to let run around. Ships go by all the time which is actually entertaining. Brown eagles fly around the area. I sometimes would fly my drone over the river. Fun times."
"Park is good, has lots of space for parking, benches. Part I liked was children play area and long river walk. Currently fees is waived due to off season, which is kinda good but otherwise you need to pay at the entrance $4 I believe. I recommend this park."
