Excellent, well maintained, small, off leash park with figure 8 walking trail, canoe water access and picnic areas. One of the few true off leash dog parks remaining. Dog owners and walkers are generally much more relaxed than typical leashed parks as generally dogs trusted off leash tend to need less correction and have experienced owners. Bags for clean up and trash cans are well placed and visitors are excellent about cleaning up after their dogs. Parking lot is CROWDED on nice summer days - during summer expect to compete for parking with cycling groups, teenagers after school, dog walking groups, picnicers, and canoe loading (also one of the few places to park and put in legally although a bit of a hike from parking lot) The park is well kept, the grounds crew is friendly, bathroom is clean. If you walk a dog prone to eating off the ground avoid after summer holidays - the picnicers have a habit of leaving food, fire pits and trash in the high grass and off the path. Although the crew is fast to clean up there are always a few scraps the dogs find. Walking loop is flat and not long. If you're looking for big hills and more of a hike or run than a walk check out Stroud's right...

Read moreA great park to do just about anything. Its on the Brandywine Creek. If you live in this area I hope your taking advantage of this spot. Its more of a neighborhood spot. I wouldnt drive a lengthy distance to only come to this park unless maybe you don't have another spot for your water craft. You can bring your own non motor watercraft and follow the water way. Its a beautiful creek. The hiking trail is an easy trail good for any age. Next mixture of trees. Quiet and very peaceful. Parking was ample. A NICE park to pick to go exploring in to enjoy for a couple of hours to be at peace with yourself and mother nature. I heard a few drones. It was a great spot to fly them. The weather just always seems to be perfect in this park for some reason. Grab your proper footwear check out the park you...
