Great walking area. The path around the water is nicely paved. The view is tremendous on a clear day. Be warned, there is a pretty steep hike up a hill to get to the loop around the reservoir. So make sure you are ready for a bit of a work out (but that's probably why you're there anyways). You will be sharing the area with the local wildlife, so be mindful of geese, ducks, and other little critters. Parking is plentiful at the bottom of the hill and free of course.

It is a beautiful site to chill, walk, run and detach from home and work demands. Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, people are walking and laughing. But the cons are so many people in there, so hard to find a parking spot in the evening, you need to park along side the street or the other side of parking lot. Also for the social distancing is not friendly. People are running closely to each other. No mask on. You’d definitely go there not at its peak hours.

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s such a gem sitting right in Newark Delaware. Sunrise and sunsets are amazing! There is a huge playground for kids, trails for run/walk, and a hill to go up and down for fitness! I read the trailhead sign today that said the Newark Reservoir holds enough water to supply enough plastic bottles of water to stretch from here to the moon, that fact blew my mind!

One of my favorite places in Newark Delaware. The place is beautiful and great for a walk, for scenic views and some photography. It has ample parking space and William Redd Jr park is just behind this place which is good for a run. The houses in the area are really beautiful and you can find deers around. This is a must visit for people in and around the area.

This maybe the highest point in Delaware. 😂 great place to walk/jog and get out. Nice playground for the kids to play in (gets crowded when the weather is nice). They have bathrooms, so that’s cool.

I Really enjoy the Open Water Swims on Monday evenings. The one mile loop at the top of the reservoir and the White Clay connector make for a great training hub.
