👍👍 Very pretty grounds and lots of interesting exhibits.

1,790-acre preserve featuring freshwater pond, multipurpose trails, fishing, boat rentals & more.

933-acre preserve divided by 19th-century stone walls, with tulip poplar forest & nature center.

Parkland at a Colonial Revival mansion, planted with native species & open in summer for tours.

👍👍 This is our favorite playground park, last year we even had our kids birthday party here. You can rent the pavilion and get a permit to have a funhouse/ bounce house. Like that the restrooms and near by always open and clean. The playground is the best has plenty of updated children’s play equipment...

👍👍 Went to this park today. It’s important to pay attention to the entrance sign because the park closes at different times throughout the year. Well maintained and beautiful place.

Public park with 400 acres of space, including an 18-hole golf course, ball fields & walking trail.

Rail tour through a wooded valley on a restored steam locomotive, over track laid down in the 1870s.

Wetlands flora & fauna are on view at this urban preserve with raised paths & a visitors' center.

👍👍 Offers an overly rosy perspective on a corrupt family dynasty that has poisoned thousands of people on the east coast. That being said, it’s pretty interesting and the grounds are beautiful.

👍👍 What once was an amusement park nature has reclaimed. Though it is a small park there is a lot to do and see if you love nature. A large variety of trees, flowers, and wildlife will entertain at every turn.

Period rooms in du Pont estate featuring historic decorative arts, plus 60-acre botanical gardens.

Cozy, kid-friendly museum featuring dinosaurs, shells, a butterfly garden & interactive exhibits.

👍👍 Nice if you are up for some walking.

State park featuring forest trails of varying length & difficulty for hiking, biking & jogging.

Park featuring ball diamonds, soccer fields & tennis courts, plus a wooded area & a playground.

👍 Great place for hiking. Many trails to choose from. Anything from 2-5 miles. Flat terrain too. Many spring blossoms this time of year.

👍👍 Nice park with around 5 miles of trails, most either smoothly paved or packed gravel, and some dirt trails through the woods or grass trails through the fields. You can bike on the majority of them (I did) but it seems like most people walk or run. Some beautiful views of fields, forest, and river....

👍 Really amazing place in the middle of the marsh. Fantastic walking trails that go out into the wetlands and can get close to vegetation and wildlife.
