Bellevue State Park — Attraction in Wilmington

Wonderful, well-maintained Delaware park. Perfect for recreation, particularly walking, hiking, bike riding, and horseback riding. Also a large tennis courts complex where lessons are given by tennis pros. Great for family outings and picnics. If you or your children enjoy bicycling together as a family, you'll love this place. Nice bandstand for open-air concerts. Outdoor ice skating in the winter. 1-1/8 mile oval fitness track with a surface that is more forgiving than pavement and great for jogging or speed walking.

Some great little out-of-the-way corners to discover, too. You can actually walk from here all the way into the City of Wilmington on the excellent Delaware Greenway Trail, which connects Bellevue to footpaths through other parks and woodlands.

Bellevue State Park also contains what is undoubtedly the best disc golf course in Delaware. If you're into disc golf, you must visit this park— you won't be...

Do not give a dime to this place. I got off work and raced to watch my son race at the park. I did not have the $4. The man at the gate just starred. Not only was he not going to help me but he explained how he was going to call the park police if I park inside the park and wait for my son who is in his park racing.

I wish I could choose the people I serve and save the lives of; he and these park employees would not one of them!! Over $4.. $4 isn't even worth bad PR!! ...

My review is for fishing and pricing, which is where this place is horrid. I was charged $8 after already paying $8 to fish on the Brandywine River which I had my receipt for. I was told Bellevue is not part of the same state park system. How does that work? A Delaware State Park is not the same as other Delaware State Parks? Moving on...

Who is in charge of your fishery? I watched a man live line bluegill to catch a bass. When I saw it, I was amazed at how sick it looked. The bass was 23 inches. It should weigh anywhere from 7.4 to 8.4 pounds. It only weighed 3.22 pounds. That's nearly impossible. I checked it on his scale and my scale. They obviously don't feed the fish and unless you went back creek and caught 1 pounders (at most) it was a waste of...
