Wilmington State Parks — Attraction in Wilmington

Great park. There is a ton of space to play in the grass of you want like soccer, kickball, etc. There is a pavilion available if you'd like but they have a good amount of picnic tables placed all around to be able to eat. There's bathrooms available with family bathrooms as well, and there is also a drink vending machine. The playground itself is awesome. It's called the Can-Do playground, I believe it was made for kids with autism and such to help them. There are a couple different jungle gym sets (I think that's what they are called) for kids to play on, with multiple slides on each one and one has a slide in it to go from one level to the next. There is also little interactive setups on the gym sets for the kids to play with and learn like one teaches about different types of water (rivers, storms, things like that) one is a car setup they can do plus others. They have a huge sand pit even for the kids where you can bring your own toys to dig and mess around with but they also have claws they can sit on and dig with. There's even all different kinds of swings for kids with different needs but they also have swings where a parent can swing with their kid at the same time. There's a little set up where the kids can climb up one set that's made to look like trees even, plus a few more things here to play with. This playground is absolutely amazing and my kids love it, heck I might love it even more lol. My son has autism and just can't get enough of this place and all things he can mess around with and run around on. I know this is an extremely long post but I can't say enough good things about this place I highly recommend it...

Took my 3 yr old grandson to the Can Do Park there. What an amazing, educational, and just all-around fun place for the kids. They have a playground area complete with multiple rock-wall climbing areas, sliding boards, etc., and interactive electeonic educational stations, and small telescopes to see the beautiful surrounding gardens, etc.; all with the soft rubber flooring throughout all play areas, and a great big sandbox complete with beach toys and articulating arm scoops that let the kids feel like their working with construction trucks! I promise the kids up to 10 will LOVE it; worth the trip and ITS FREE...

All the parks are great!! My favorite is the stretch from Rockford Park, down Kentmere Pkwy past the art museum, along the banks of the Brandywine River and paper mill aqueducts, to Monkey Hill and the Brandywine Zoo. Lots of different terrain and scenery throughout the parks keeps it from getting boring, I feel like I'm always spotting new and interesting stuff. Tennis/basketball courts, baseball diamonds, at least one 5K cross country course, playgrounds, off-leash dog parks, hiking/biking trails, sledding hills, zoo (pretty extensive for how small it is!), etc etc...You name it, the Wilmington...
