Nice place to take the dogs for a long walk plenty of shade during the summer heat that gives plenty of protection.I recommend during ealry morning the park isnt too crowded also seems like plenty of space to gave small gathering for gazebos and plenty space for kids to run around will be coming back again.

Nice park with shade, fields, water, and play equipment. We always have a good time here. Most services are close to the parking lot making them very accessible. Some paths are paved, but parts near the river and pond are wide dirt trails and some routes require travel up or down slopes to reach water level. Facilities (pavilions, playground, grass, ball park, etc.) are usually well maintained. We often encounter dog walkers, families, and older couples. Walks near the river offer interesting signs about the history and former activities at the site.

Great to see the old history of the land. Everything is marked nicely to show you where things were. Small billboards a photo or two and a little write up of the old attraction or facility. The remains of the old amusement park are not handicap accessible due to the terrain. There are two streams one a little larger than other that kids or dogs can splash around in.

Nice small park. There was an amusement park here on 1920. Have to take the trail to see it. Steep trail.

Periodically go up to visit a memorial bench of my friend Jamie. Very clean with great historical significance.

One of the best and most historical parks in the state . Very well maintained trails and ball fields.

Good for groups to lunch together.Lake side and beautiful Falls

Its a smaller park, but its beautiful, with trails to walk. A gorgeous stream is tucked inside, and there are pavilions you can use.

The playground nearby is designed for older kids (5+). My toddler has a little bit trouble getting off the slide. The park is beautiful, and has short trails for kids to walk around.

Really beautiful walk by the creek. There signs about the history of the area are great.

A little gem, literally in the middle of a busy, bustling area. It is the site of an early 1900s amusement park. None of the buildings or rides have survived, but foundations abound, and the curators of the park have marked off (often in the middle of fairly dense woods/underbrush) the locations of virtually everything. Each location has a sign on the trail with a photograph of that building/ride/attraction that once stood and a written narrative. By the time we left, it really felt like we were able to visualize what the amusement park looked like 100+ years ago. It was very, very cool, educational, historical. On top of that the park has abundant wildlife-- we saw several LARGE snakes sunning themselves near the creek (2 of which were on top of a beaver dam/lodge), many turtles (large and small), fish, geese, ground hogs, and loads of birds and squirrels. In a couple of spots the trails up and down from the creek/pond area are fairly steep, but they are groomed, packed trails so they are easy to navigate.

We went to watch a softball game. Is this the only live sport during Covid-19? Nice park with some ball fields, several pavilions and some shaded walking trails.

Nice place to walk. The caretaker society has put a lot of interesting picture and other information from the parks past as a amusement park and Military camp.

Nice trail. Not difficult

This is a beautiful park with a rich history. Its a great place for a quiet stroll. It features great picnic pavilions with grills for leisurely meals and family gatherings.

A beautiful bit of transportation and amusement history all packed into one great green space.

Pleasant place to share a take out meal with friends and or family if its not too hot.

The county maintains this park that is the former site of an amusement park

This is a beautiful park with a lot of history! To imagine all the stuff that was once located there at the amusement park its just a really nice piece of History and a great place to have Parties by renting The Pavilions

Quiet, great terrain. Clean, easy access

Surprisingly amazing park filled with history.

Love the history and my dogs love the river!!

My dog and I love to run the little trail and finish with a swim. I hesitate to leave a review because its our little secret place. If you are looking for a short, nice walk this is the spot.

Great park with lots of history.

Great park, great history. Never knew how much was in the area in the late 1800s. Great historical value, pleasantly surprised, a great find.

A fine average sized park with challenging trails. The trails go along side historical markers, a tourist railroad and the scenic Red Clay Creek. Ample free parking. Pavilions to rent. A kids playground and a baseball field are some of the things that are there.

This park is my favorite. I love the history of the park. Its peaceful trails are fun to explore. The train is fun to ride.

Its nice to see that dogs are no longer required to be leashed or cleaned up aftwr.

Love this park. It is in a quiet area near a great school. We rented a pavilion here for a birthday party and it was great! Nice, clean area with a nice play area, basketball courts, etc.

Nice park good shade. BallFields need work

Nice little park with baseball fields and covered pavillions & grills

Love it always have a nice time and park is always clean and clean bathrooms

Nice place to go and relax . You can follow a few trails behind the softball fields and get down to the creek..

Enjoying a beautiful walk today

Very nice park and play area. Lots of walking paths and signs describing the history of this property.

Beautiful area to walk.

Awesome trials for a relaxing nature hike. Such a hidden gem of Wilmington.

Nice area for a meeting and lunch

Love this park, nice play area and pavilions all have nice size grills.

The trails are so much fun out here love walking the trails

Beautiful historic park with great hiking trails and pavilions available for cookouts.

Nothing super special but its a nice place for a walk and a good place to bring your doggy.

New favorite place. Fall colors are awesome!

This is a quiet park. It is great for walking and thinking, great for dogs, and behavior from humans and animals pleasant. There are pavilians with large grills for groups and instructions for cleanup. Ball diamonds get used nights and weekendsThere is a lot of history in that park and it is worth walking down to the old dance hall and pond site. Signs and pictures have been placed by the Friends of Brandywine Springs who continue to fix things. It is well worth spending a couple hours there at least once. Careful. It could become a habit.

Awesome park. My grandkids love it

Clean facilities, we had our church picnic here, the shelter was spacious and far away from other groups that we could breathe, theres a basketball court and softball field also, so you can have some fun, lots of open space for running and getting the sillies out of kids.

I love going to this park during my lunch hour at work. Plenty of seating area, a nice play area for the kids, big open fields if you want to play catch or throw a ball, it offers great nature trails for those love to explore and be one with nature. Plenty of trees for good shading on a nice summer day.This was my childhood park growing up, holds so many memories.

One of the few clean beautiful parks left.

Brandywine Springs Park is a beautiful and relaxing park outside of Wilmington. It has a lot of history to it, with historical signs with photos marking the park. There is a playground, basketball courts, and pavilions.

Old amusement park trail. See some great Delaware history.

Super Time With Family

Has a good playground for kids, a basketball court, large pavilions, and theres plenty of parking. Theres also a few miles of hiking trails in the woods where the remains of an amusement park from the late 1800s - early 1900s once stood. Avoid the trails for a day or 2 after wet weather.

3 pavilions to rent out thru new castle county parks. Softball/baseball field. Wide open grass and wooded areas as well. Take walk/hike thru the park.

One of my most favorite places to take my

Love to walk around and sit and watch everything around. Peaceful surroundings.

Brandywine springs is one of my favorite parks in northern Delaware. It has a playground, basketball court, a couple of baseball diamonds, pavilions, and hiking trails. The hiking trails go down near the creek where there are a number of historical markers that reach you about the history of the park. If you like exploring, this is a great place to do so.

Amazing for Pokemon go omg amazing Im gunna go on chimchar community day

We had an event at one of the pavilions and it was so nice! Built on fire pit/grill

Good solid park would bike here as a kid all thetime

We chose Brandywine Springs for our wedding pictures and were very pleased. Its a beautiful place and we even got a history lesson from a man writing a book about the park.

Beautiful park

Nice park

I almost dont want anyone else to know about this place so it can stay a best kept secret but...one of my all-time favorite parks in the area.

Beautiful spot to go & have a little picnic.

Love this park. Usually its never too packed. And I find a lot of people dont even know about the old theme park and the bottom of the park near the creek. Also if youre there at just the right time you get to see the western railroad trains go by.Great park. Wildlife everywhere. Watch out for the Pokemon go people.

It for those who like nature and walking running relaxing and more.

Beautiful place to go and relax.

Nice county park, so free to enter.. Not crowded. Interesting historical surprises along the trails. Small but nice playground.

Had a great walk here. Amazing piece of history!

A hidden piece of history! Having often driven by the park and never stopping, we took the road less travelled and stepped back in time. Thank you to Friends of Brandywine for the recreation if a bygone era. I urge history buffs to stop and see how folks spent summer days in the 1800s. Use your imagination and enjoy.

Awesome little park for the family

Nice little park but nothing special except for the fact if you look at the history of it and actually what was there in the past. You should check it out and the old amusement park grounds.

Quiet, historic parkland

This well kept new castle county park is quite a gem. There used to be an amusement park and hotel on the grounds a hundred years ago and the hotel dates back much further. Friends of Brandywine Springs has posted signs and pictures throughout the park showing where every structure and ride used to be. This includes a pic of my great grandfather! (Very cool)The park has open space for picnics, pavillions for group picnics, softball field and a large wooded area with stream and pond where the amusement park was. I prefer the wooded area for a picnic and let the children play in the stream.Park is open dusk to dawn.

Beautiful park with nice trails for aerobic hiking or just a blast from the past along the creek basin where placards mark historical sites of old Brandywine Springs Boardwalk of 100 years ago.Updated playground set and basketball court. Beautiful pavilions on rolling landscape available for rental.Creek trails lead to a railroad track which makes for some pretty cool photo backdrops. The track is active for the Wilmington Western Railroad (entertainment).

Very nice park. The wooded walking is steep at times. The landscaping includes mature trees, lawn areas and a water feature. There are newly upgraded picnic pavillions. The historic markers are a unique feature.

Great place for a cookout. Lots of open space!

I love this park. Very quiet, has playground, baseball fields, and basketball court. Best part is you can walk in the wooded trails. Very peaceful.

Nice neighborhood park

A must for any history fan.

Love to walk around here!

There are trails running along a creek with posts showing info and pictures of the old amusement park that was once there. This is a great place to get some exercise because of steep trails that will work the legs and buns.

Very nice place to visit.

Large park good for dogs. Great views.

General Washington and General Lafayette met under Council Oak a tree that still stands today . While the Continental Army dug trenches the decision was made to move further north. An elegant 100 room was built where the parking lot is. Its main attraction was the Brandywine Chalybeate Spring which was visited three times a day to take a drink and enjoy the wooded grounds. The remains of the Brandywine Amusement Park can be accessed by pleasant paths.

Nice walking trails for family time and the pavilions are good for picnics and partys

Very interesting history

Great little park with trails. Trails are short but there is history here with descriptive signs throughout. Pavilions for large group picnics, ballfields and playground.

Beautiful

A very nice park. Lots of shade around pavilions, a softball field, and playground for the children.

Great park. Good place for taking a walk or having a picnic. There are a bunch of historic placards in the woods from the early 1900s.

Beautiful park!

Great getaway

A lot of things to see: history, the pond, 2 bridges. Good for those who love trails. It has bbq grills, playground, pavilions.etc.

Beautiful, cool, serene and calming

Just outside of Wilmington, this park has a few pavilions. Butts up against the scenic Wilmington & Western Railroad. Park is centered around the old springs are which used to have trolley line service in the late 1800s.

Great family park. Playground, picnic area, ballfields, and a good walk through the woods down to the river and train tracks.

Good place for groups with kids to do cookouts and picnics.

Awesome park for a walk or play a wonderful historic park.

This place has a lot of great history behind it. If your looking for a good hike try here.
