Kosciuszko Park — Attraction in Wilmington

This is an old City park in a good location that has fallen on hard times for lack of maintenance. The former facilities are closed. The basketball courts are in bad shape. The view from Broom Street is amazing, looking down across the City to the Delaware River and beyond. There are mature trees and rocks and lawns, but not much else in the way of sustainable native plantings. A recent community festival produced a nice turnout of neighborhood residents. The broad park is bordered by the old Polish neighborhood, Maryland Avenue, and African-American and Hispanic neighborhoods, as well as newer middle-class homes...

Kosciuszko Park, named for Tadeus Kosciuszko, Polish military leader and slavery abolitionist, is a nice park with walking trails. Unfortunately, it IS run down, and, again unfortunately, gets a bad rap for being in a currently violent area...

Nice quiet park looks lovely from a distance but when you walk in the park on the paths there is plenty of trash all over that been there for awhile and i seen ppl from the city at the park cutting grass but i guess trash/loitering is...
