This park is off of Maryland Ave between Newport and Wilmington. Great for kids,B.B.Q, playing sports,hiking, fishing.Its excellent for jogging, walking or just plain out need a day to think. Wildlife is unbelievable. I been going here 40 years.

One of the best parks Ive ever been to. Great place to take the children, grandchildren and even have a family reunion. Nice and clean.

So many great memories here. This is a beautiful park with playground, woods, lakes, pavillions and more. I moved to Delco 13 years ago and there are no parks like this there. I miss Banning park.

The trails are bad!!! Like really bad. Its covered with garbage in the woods. And theres just junk all in the forest. But the park is nice tho.

A very nice big park great place for hicking or just cooking out n playing sports many different fields to us

I always love coming here, either alone or with others, especially with my boyfriend. Its peaceful, even with an occasional train going by next to the big pond. You can watch the turtles, birds, and other wildlife. It helps me reset my mental batteries

Great park, clean and well taken care of. The ponds are nice.

Great park with lots of different amenities, wooded area, trail, two ponds, playground, ballfields, open fields, dog park plenty of open room for everyone

Lots of room for gathering , also has permanent BBQ stands for public use. Park looked clean also.

I love walking here. Great place for all events

Its a great place to walk, run, play games with family, etc. Theres plenty of open space for sunshine. Theres beautiful trees for clean air and shade. Theres a small pond, and theres a host of playing fields. In light of covid-19, its a nice option for pet walking and enjoying a brief moment outside your home with safe distances.

Nice dog park. Play ground for kids. Plenty of walking areas.

Very nice walking area. Pretty clean.

Love this park, been coming here for years. Great for any occasion or event.

Banning Park is good its a very big park with pavilions,baseball parks, swings sliding boards, and barbecue areas.My family,and I attended my nieces baby shower there today at one of the pavilions under the shade,and we had a good time.Nice clean bathrooms there also!

Some trails for running/hiking. Single paved loop up a hill for waking/running with a life course for other exercise. Lots of grilling/picnic spots. Sizable playground areas for kids.

Fantastic scenery no air-conditioning but still beutiful

Big park with grills, baseball field, green grass and trees. A bit noisy. Nice walking, running trail.

Nice park to walk around, but be careful driving through. The speed bump in the wooded area is nasty and needs work.

Ive grown up at this park & they used to stock the ponds & have a Fishing Tournaments, Nice woodsy areas for hiking, used to catch big snapping turtles & take them to my GIRLFRIENDS house & her Mother would teach us how to make snapper Turtle Soup, light-up baseball fields, great dog park, plenty picnic areas, soccer fields, lots of open spaces to run, play tag, chase the kids, very clean...

Had a great day with my grandson.

Very good place to meet with family and friends on weekends or holidays. perfect for barbecuing in the shade with friends and .I like it super I recommend it to everyone.remember to rent a kiosk you have to make reservation. its a well-ordered place for people

We only saw a little bit, the exercise area but that was enough to give my kids the outlet they needed!!

Been going here since i can remember. Love this park

It used to be peaceful now they have to put speakers on top of the cars and play Latin music where everybody can hear miles away I think thats repulsive and needs to be stopped.

Pretty nice park and big

Peaceful and friendly people and also clean

I Love this park and would go back and recommended it also

Very nice little park,well maintained

Very family friendly. Very clean.

Very nice park. Lots to do here. Fishin , hiking , exercising , soccer , soft ball, lots of open space for throwin a football around or a frisbee. Great kids play area. Bbq and picnic spots are nicely spaced around .

A nice park with deep trails through the woods. Right in the middle of Newport. A pond sits in the back as well next to the train track, with nice reflections. A pretty good park in close proximity.

Beautiful place. Great to take the kids. Great for walking or running!

Dog park here is amazing!!

Great place to walk fish playground have parties or picnics

Clean and well maintained facilities

Grew up coming here.

Great place to exercise or relax. Has two ponds and picnic groves and pavilions.

I went to this park for the first time in years today. I didnt realize how big it is until now. Plenty of space to have your own section for a barbecue or any family event.

This park is great, but needs better soccer fields.

Lots of open space for running with your pets. Playground for the kids. Quiet and great for jogging

Good doggie fun without mud!

Large, clean and peaceful!

They also have a few baseball fields They even have pervillins, Like 3 or 4 for ur partys, family reunion, Anniversaries,B- Days Safe clean park, I grew up in the area, so I know

One of our oldest parks that is a good place for cookouts, walking, and a quiet place to relex.

Could be cleaner, update the things there.

A variety of different things to do at this park.

I love this place. I grew up here. And when I die, my ashes will be scattered here. Preferebly near the top pavilion trees, if possible

Great place to sit and get ur mind right

We sometimes go here for family reunions in the summer, we use a pavilion and the kids play in the fields and on the playground sets throughout the park. I didnt realize that there was a cute little pond and Creek here but it made for a very pleasant stroll, complete with blooming flowers and singing birds :)

Loved the dog park!

My home Park, been going there for 16 years, and Everytime its special. There built a doggie park there so cool!!

I went there as a child made some great memories cant believe i get to share with my daughter

Great place for family fun. Clean and has safe playgrounds for the kids!

Nice and clean. Plenty of walkers amd joggers. You can bbq there too.

Great dog park, I love taking my Kobe there.

A good place to enjoy nature.

Always nice to visit banning park, went there as a kid for family gatherings, baseball games and the play area. Eventually took my own kids and they loved it just as much!

Lots of baseball and soccer fields. Nice 1 mile loop for walk or running, plus trail that sneaks into the woods for a loop.

Nice area, clean park

You can come here to walk or sit in the car with someone. Its quiet and beautiful

Nice park for cook outs and walking. Nice play area for children to play. If you play Pokemon...this is a good area. Lol

Working with the park service was great. Reserving the pavilion was easy, the ladies in the office were helpful and friendly. The restrooms were cleaned, fully stocked, plenty of trash cans which is picked up. Our group had a wonderful time at Banning park.

I like to ride the loop on my single speed bike. I think it about a mile around so after 5 miles Im feeling it. Especially since theres a good sized hill in the loop. Its right next to my house so its real convenient for a quick ride. Glad its there. Its a nice park and pretty well maintained. Theres always people barbecuing, playing softball or using the dog park. Good times...

Grew up in the area always a fantastic park

Its a good park, its huge actualy, but not like the picture, there is a school right next to it and i personally think that it is nice.

Wish they still had the wood. No basketball courts. Dog park is nice though

Very nice park to walk and get exercise and its got lot of open space for family functions

The park here is very nice. The children are loving it while the adults can talk not being interrupted. The nature here is very nice, I actually saw a little animal there once! Its very nice here came join us!

A nice to place to visit with a huge crowd.

Had a wonderful time and its beautiful out there.

Would be nice if it werent for all the litter !

Such an amazing part with a dog park!

If you live in the area and want exercise, a fun playground for your kids, to play tennis, soccer, baseball, basketball, off-leash play and exercise for your dog or a place to picnic or Bar-B-Que, Banning Park is worth the drive.Like all New Castle County parks, it is open daily from Dawn to dusk but sometimes they leave the lights on after dark at the tennis and basketball courts.There are several pavilions with roofs and BBQ pits. They all contain around a dozen picnic tables so there is room for birthday parties, church socials, informal get togethers or whatever you please. I dont believe that alcohol is permitted but the county police that patrol the park are only looking for people who are acting out or are visibly intoxicated. Keep it cool and there shouldnt be a problem.The new Bark Park which is several years old now is huge! The one rule you must observe is to only let friendly dogs off the leash. If your dog does not play well with others, you must keep him or her on a leash. Otherwise, the fenced-in area for your dog to run and play safely is huge! It is also a good area to safely train your dog off leash. There is a gate that only humans can open so there is no way for your dog to get out and run away or get hurt running in traffic.There is also a small pond for fishing at the back of the park but make sure, if you are required by DNREC to have one, that you have a freshwater fishing license.All in all, a great open area to get the city out of your lungs!

The openness, promixity to St. Matthew RC Church. taking stroll there.

First visit. Nice park in the city.

Great place to take the kids and have a family day of exploring the woods and playing near the pond or at the playground.

Awesome. Peaceful Clean & Super Friendly Families!!!

Fun park... Not too any things for kids to play on though. And way too many trees and plenty bugs!!!

Well kept New Castle County, Delaware park. even has a pond that contains Bass along with baseball, soccer, tennis. open areas and wooded area with picnic tables and charcoal grills as well as a pavilion (or 2?) and a nice playground for the little ones.

Banning regional park is a quiet and Serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of City Life. Its Majestic scenery is a place out of time and space to take you back to a more quieter family oriented memory. It brings you into a surreal atmosphere were you just have no responsibilities. It looses you from them.

Great for family events. Ball fields. Soccer. Kid play ground.

Its a nice park with wide open areas. It has a playground, softball fields, picnic areas and a painted lane section for running/walking.

Re: Dog Park areaIf you bring your dog to a dog park, and they are aggressive with two completely different dogs, go home! Instead of making 4 dogs leave the dog park, you should be respectful and leave to make sure your dog doesnt attack anyone elses pets. Put your dog on a damn leash. Luckily, our dogs are okay...minus some scratches. - my FiancéMinus the fools its a nice looking place.Unsolicited advice:Grab your dog every time someone brings a new dog in. See if its aggressive and if the owners are fools. If they are fools with an aggressive dog, leave. Fools that dont care if their dog is aggressive and injures other dogs go here.

Very spacious county Park in New Castle, Delaware off Maryland Avenue.Several covered picnic areas available for reserve for all occasions. Baseball and softball diamonds, basketball courts, very clean and manicured Parkland.

Very nice and relaxing place to spend time relaxing

Best small park.

This is a very peaceful and beautiful park

Went to the dog park. Usually has some sort of pups there. Most are well behaved , you might get the occasional delusional owner who has a rough around the edges pup

Very nice

Lots of space baseball, soccer, & football fields. Always friendly folks at the dog park, and theres even a little fishing hole all the way in the back of the park. If youre coming to walk, fallow the arrows!,(walk the same direction everyone else is).

Nicely kept...bigfoot sightings in woods

Big park! Great place for picnics, family reunions, sport events, fishing, running, relaxing, and barbecues! Near Route 4 and Maryland Avenue and Newport Pike. About 10 minutes away from the city of Wilmington and I-95 and Route 141. This park has always been a childhood favorite and its a beautiful place to bask in the warmer months.
