    This park is a nestled gem of Delaware. The park wasn't too crowded to lose track of the kiddos. And the bathrooms were actually decent. There is a small and large playground to accommodate most ages. Watching the wildlife from the boardwalk was definitely a treat. The park also features "learning on the go" sign games around the park, for the kids to continue learning.

    This is a hidden gem type of park if you're not from Delaware. It's located in a residential neighborhood.The park has a pond for fishing, plenty of parking, restrooms, shelter house, sledding hill,basketball court, playground equipment and lots of open space.

    I was surprised to see to large lake with its limestone walls in Delaware City. Another surprise was when the CSX train roared across the backdrop. Nice park with ample parking. I will be back.

    Love this place! My wife and I meet friends here with our kids and let them run around while we enjoy the pickleball courts. Casting pond is awesome to teach the kids to fish and to take the rc boat out. Great little park for a fun afternoon! Only bummer is they don't add the second net or open the bathrooms early enough

    Found Blue Limestone Park on Google Maps, just exploring Delaware Ohio. Nice, what seems to be an old quarry. Wish there was a little more information posted about the park. There is a nice basketball court, tennis court, and shelter for picnics, and kids play areas. Glad I stopped, will be back again.

    We were visiting Delaware for dinner before Homecoming and stopped here for pictures beforehand. It was a gloomy day but the location is beautiful for local, outdoor pictures (especially during autumn)!

    This is a nice little gem of a park hidden near downtown Delaware. It includes a playground for the children as well as picnic tables and shelter houses. One can fish in the former quarry if one is so inclined and licensed. Flush restrooms are onsite with soap and running water. Stop and enjoy if you've never been here. Then post your own review.

    Such a cool place, can't believe I've lived in Central Ohio for over 20 years without knowing this gem. Very cool, unexplained happenings in a beautiful and scenic atmosphere.

    The restrooms are completely disgusting (and lack DOORS). If you live close enough to get home before a restroom break is necessary, it's an ok park. The restrooms are worse than porta potties. Pick a different park if you are doing a day trip in Delaware.

    Small dog friendly local park to bring your dog and stroll. They have a nice playground with a reservable shelter, bbq grills and picnic tables where you can host a birthday party. Great outdoor basketball court and pickleball court.

    Beautiful views, newer playground equipment, and walkways along the water. I really enjoyed checking out the native plants and finding a quiet, beautiful spot to calm the mind.

    Please don't dump your animals at the park. 3 dogs in two days always in the morning. So they're left over night. They wait for their owners to come back. Remember that

    This was a welcome surprise! Cute little park dropped right in the middle of Delaware. Old quarry with lots of fishing opportunities along a beautiful boardwalk. Basketball courts, playground equipment and picnic pavilions.

    This park has 2 different play gyms one for older children and one for younger. It also has two swing sets one for older and one for younger. Boardwalk beside water where people can stand and fish. This park has mature trees and some shady areas with some sunny areas. It also has a picnic shelter.

    Beautiful place near West William Street and just west of Elizabeth Street on King Avenue. It's clean, monitored and well-maintained with a playground and restrooms. Be sure to keep an eye on small children with the quarry pond nearby for fishing only. There's a decent amount of parking; the shelter house that can be reserved seats up to 70+ but that's not physically-distancing. A couple of sports courts are available. A great place for the family to relax and enjoy the outdoors just off West William Street (US 36) and east of the Hidden Valley Golf Course. Parking Tip: Don't use the parking lot just east of King Avenue on John Street. That's Ohio Weslyan University parking only.
