There is nothing to do here for a beginner except maybe play with this tiny pyramid and try to learn how to skate transition, The shallow concrete is pretty Jenky it's far jankier than the deep end and the jankyness slows you down a lot, so keep that in mind. The roll in just throws you into the wall unless you go in sideways like a surfer or something and it's pretty sketch doing that, I'd say it's great for round wall and vert riders the vert side is just barely 8' so it's a great entry point for the vert curious to get your feet wet, bring softer wheels as the rough pavement isn't letting you slide out super easy which is a plus for some and a minus for others.

Unlike their modest plaza at Wakefield and their luckluster design at Lake Fairfax, though, this creation is exactly what contemporary designs are supposed to be: blended elements that combine something for everyone, look like a work of art, and leave you constantly finding more lines. I am a fan of big transitions but this place is still really fun at mostly 5 feet high. The rails are of the medium to low variety (all round) and the ledges have lots of different approach angles, heights, etc...i.e. way more fun than your usual skatepark hubba. The trannies are a little bumpy but not so much that it's distracting. I only bring it up because I was surprised that such a well-done park has that as a (very minor) flaw. What creative genius on the Spohn Ranch team designed this place, and why couldn't they have done Lake Fairfax? Run, don't walk, to this place. Bonus for families: the kiddie jungle gym park a stones throw away is like something out of Knotts Berry Farm. It must have cost a fortune, has restrooms, and a mist section for hot summer months.

They have a great field for baseball. Please note, Freehold Little League is held here so if there is a game, parking will be hard. They also have many playgrounds for kids. They seem to have themed playgrounds so that if you are meeting other parents, just say, "we'll convene at the blue or pirate ship playground" and everyone will find it. They have a fenced in skateboard ramps for tweens and up which I personally think is a fabulous idea. The ramps are spaced and curved only for skateboards. Longboards should definitely stay only on the paved paths where they belong. Speaking of trails, their trails are mixed between paved and dirt. You can safely go on a light walking trail here either solo or as you are walking your dogs. They also provide a few stations with plastic bags for the owners to clean up after their dogs. They also have basketball courts, dog runs, picnic areas, a spray ground on hot summer's days and my favorite, a sports field with obstacle courses. Perfect for the bigger kids with lots of energy and to build coordination. I went in March where things are just somewhat starting to bloom. I can only imagine the splendor in late June where everything will be fully bloomed and the grass will be lush. I look forward to revisiting this park, especially when it's Freehold Township Day where there will be plenty of fireworks, rides and the Vets car show!

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.
