Beautiful little park with lots of trees and shade. Commemorating the arrival of the Kalmar Nyckel in 1638.

Great place to spend couple of hours.

A small park with a great story! Fort Christina park was built in 1938 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Swedish settlement at that location. The highlight of the park is a Swedish black granite monument commemorating the voyage of the Kalmar Nyckel from Gothenburg, Sweden to what is now Wilmington, Delaware. The ship moored at the famous Blue Rocks, which are still visible at the end of the park. A star fort was built here and the settlement thrived for 20 years. This is a cornerstone of Delaware history and an important part of the American story. This was also the site of the first log cabin in America! What a lot of history for such a small park.

Nice place to go for outing with your friends and family. The park was truly amazing with lots of greenery. Many people came with their loved ones to have fun . Nice place for walk and to refresh our mind.

We went to the Festival at the Fort. Celebrating Colonial and Native life in the Delaware Valley with Crafts , music, food and more. Free admission and free parking. Had a great time.

Beautiful place. I often visits here for walk. Perfect place for mind relaxation.

A historical landmark in Wilmington, Delaware and everyone living there should know about its location.

Really great place to bring the family and hang out and learn a little bit of History Ive been to this area a couple of times and every time its amazing... if youre ever coming through this area you should definitely check it out fun for the whole family and a very peaceful atmosphere

Fort Christina Park is on a tidal peninsula between Brandywine Creek and the Christiana River. It preserves the original landing spot and settlement of Delaware by Swedish settlers.The park is essentially the footprint of the original fort, plus the actual blue rocks that are a bit unusual in the tidal flats.One big bonus to this park is that it is virtually next to the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation, the home port of the Kalmar Nyckel, Delawares premier tall ship. Visit both for a great evening into the history of Delaware before it was even Delaware.

Found a Dog there tied to a tree,and now I love him

Definitely avail of the free guided tour to fully appreciate this site. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable and he really made the place come to life with all the interesting stories about the once-thriving Swedish fort and colony. After the guided tour, you can hang around and admire scenic views of the Christina River. You can also visit a nice museum next door commemorating the Kalmar Nyckel, one of the ships that carried the settlers from Europe to this place.

Could be really serene on the right day

Could be cleaner. Watch out for the drifters. Wilmington seemed to have a lot of them. Delaware, please do more for your addicts because stats say y’all got a problem.

Beautiful park. Very peaceful place to visit.

Its not bad. Restful peaceful at times.

Went there as a child with my parents. My father had a boat. Lots of history. Lots of memories.
