The park is well maintained, has plenty of areas for kids as well as adults to be active, enough benches throughout the park and waterfront trail to accommodate most people visiting. The view of the Delaware River and the Delaware Memorial Bridge is pleasant and enjoyable, especially in the evening. I'm a park fan and visit plenty between here and Burlington. This is one of my favorites.

What a gem, smack dab in the middle of Newark Delaware. I've been a semi frequent visitor to the…read morearea since 2017 when my folks relocated from NYC to here. Anyway, a head clearing hike / walk was necessary the other day and my sister recommended the park as a place that could accommodate that. I have to say, it's a great place. The park is fairy extensive and, you quickly get the feel that you are in a very rural area even though you are in a densely populated college town. It was a gorgeous morning Wednesday when I walked the Pomeroy trail which is about three and a half miles round trip from where I parked my car. There were a few runners out, along with some dog walkers and the occasional deer. Overall it was peaceful and quiet. If you happen to be in the area and need a respite, definitely check this place out!

Our GPS did a good job taking us to the parking lot, but there were some parts where I wondered if we were even on a public road. It was worth it. There's a bird watching trail and a hiking trail. A few people were gearing up to go mountain biking. I don't know if I'd risk it, I'm not a big daredevil and the trail looked steep. My husband and I only wandered around for a little bit, because we had other engagements, but I'd love to come back in the fall. I'm sure the changing leaves are magnificent. Otherwise, it was just really nice to look at all of the birds. On the bird watching trail, there were some bees too, which is always nice to see.

On my visit while traveling, I saw people cooling off in the water, a picnic, walkers and runners, zoo goers, admirers of beauty in the rose garden, and more. It's nice to have such a great green space within an urban area. As a walker, it has nice paths that made it convenient to get my steps in while also seeing what Delaware has to offer!

Summer time is in full swing and that means it's time to go camping. Now I'm no camping pro but I…read morerecently had the opportunity to camp with my family at Elk Neck State Park and we had a great time. The camp ground provides a few different options for your camping needs. Whether you're in the mood for the full camping experience with no electricity or if you would prefer an electrical site to plug in all your goods. The sites offer a decent amount of space for you to spread out with all of your gear. Each site has a fire pit to do some grilling and roast marshmallows and a table with benches, to hang out and enjoy your meals. A bath house with showers are also in each loop, and they're actually pretty well kept, aside from the bugs running around, which is expected. You'll occasionally see the park rangers riding around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, and they're all really friendly. If you're looking to get outside and rough it for a few days or take a much needed break from the stress of the world at trip to Elk Neck for a beautiful camping trip is the way to do it.

The playground, piccadilly castle, is a large wooden playground that could use some updating. They have a smaller area reserved for only smaller children, which is nice when it's crowded with older kids and they have no regard for your toddler. The swings could use an update and the slides could use a deep clean, but everything was pretty solid. The castle has bricks around it with names of those who contributed toward or helped build it. It's neat to see some familiar names! I recommend this park and playground for those who have kids needing to get rid of energy or those who need to walk and clear their head.

When I saw that Brecknock Park had a wooden playground, I figured I had to check it out. The park is absolutely beautiful. There's lots of open space for throwing around a frisbee, jogging, picnicking, playing soccer - you name it! There's a small garden area to walk through that has the plants and trees labeled (always nice to get in a little outdoor education). The wooden playground was everything I'd hoped for - very well-maintained, lots of different jungle gym options, and I got in my obligatory swing set time on a nice, sturdy swing set. Whether you live in the area or are just passing through, I'd definitely recommend spending some time at this park. Wish I could have enjoyed it longer! I'll absolutely plan on stopping by again next time I'm visiting that area.
