This park is very pretty in the fall. We took our dog there, and there were so many other dogs. It…read morewas mostly a pleasant walk. However, they do not separate pedestrian trails from regular roads, so there were always cars coming and going.

Sadly, I was only able to spend about 30 minutes in this incredibly beautiful city park located in…read morea swanky section of Wilmington. We drove around and saw the locals out and enjoying the beautiful vistas, the ballfields and getting exercise in. The topography consists of a large grassy meadow sloping upwards towards hills that overlook the Brandywine River. Here can be had many views of the city of Wilmington. Be careful. It's a really steep drop to the river. Thankfully, There are many trees planted there that would discourage those with intact brain cells from attempting a descent. History nerd moment 1: The park is on the National Historic Registry. History nerd moment 2: Rockford Tower was built as a water tower over 100 years ago. From what I hear if you climb those spiral stairs to the top there are some of the best views of the city. History nerd moment 3: A few examples of statuary that were well cared for and well preserved. Of particular note was a statue of Samuel DuPont in civil war military attire at the Tower Road entrance very close to the famous Tower Hill school. Wonder why Dupont got such an illustrious statue when Bancroft donated 59 acres of his property and Dupont had to be convinced by Bancroft to donate 9 acres? There must be a statue of William Bancroft in the park somewhere. I'm going back soon to find it.
