I been coming here 40 years. The rich history of this park is beyond amazing. I posted pictures of carvings in rocks of tribal chiefs. Which the locals know by Indian Rock.

Its a nice walking/family friendly hiking park but the playground is in great need of some TLC...

Nice field...one way in, one way out though. Limited parking. The turn into the entrance can throw you off, but if it does then your in the right place!

Ive been going to Canby Park since I was a young girl & love to hike down to the Indian Rocks & watch the Water Falls & talk about the History to others, that come to enjoy the outsides, I Always take trash bags & water bottles w/its very hot out& give them to the kids...I Still enjoy being beside myself & lay on the Rocks & listen to the Falls & let the sunshine beet on my face..

Beautiful nature tucked away in the ghettoist of ghetto. Waterfalls, creeks, deer, hawks, rocks, and gorgeous woods. Disc golf course has deterred much of the criminal activity but I still wouldnt walk alone without some protection

This city park was what i cut through to go to school and the one i walked in after i married and lived a few steps away. I have seen it change from great to frightening at one point. But with the new Mayor and new park management it is steadily improvingNight lights are coming with walking paths and other things like more athletic fields. It is just a little hot now with the pool gone but there will be trees planted. Things are looking up for visitors and residents. Thank You coty heads and workers.

The supervisor Matt did an excellent job fixing the park up after taking it over from the county a few years ago with half the manpower and half the time spent he and his crew did 3 or 4 other parks through out the inner city northeast side etc.should be recognized for their great effort

It was alright the only issue that I had was the fact that I found a needle by the playground... after that I packed my kids up, found something to pick up the needle and threw it in the trash.... as big as this park is Im sure they could have found somewhere else other than the playground to be doing that...

Wonderful course! It has it all- water, trees, elevation, and field holes. Probably my favorite Delaware disc golf course. Most holes have 2 pads and 2 pin positions which gives you lots of different ways to play. Very clear signage. Kinda in a bad part of the city but well worth it. Lock your vehicle and hide valuables- good advice for parking anywhere

Cool urban park. Not the most picturesque location but neat to see still, especially if you like graffiti.

Review №27

It does have its issues being sandwiched in the middle of a high drug use - mainly discarded drug paraphernalia and or condoms - but whoever has been taking care of the park lately has been doing a much better job cleaning it up and updating it. On the other side of the coin, it is a very charming and diverse Park.

I go disc golfing here every couple weeks. They have a really great course that overtime is getting even better. It is mostly in the woods style so I wouldnt recommend showboating. A disc golf disc is never as invisible as it is when it is under a pile of leaves!

Great disc golf course - fun holes and some great scenery. A few of the holes were a bit hard to follow, but I just followed some locals (really friendly and invited me to join their weekly round!). The surrounding area does seem a bit sketchy.

Looking for DANGER at every turn?! Do you find that the dangers of the worst parts of the city could use something else like sharp rocks, large sticks and a moving body of water to get rid of stuff THAN CANBY PARK IS FOR YOU!!! Its dimly lit, largely unpoliced and under the control of a group of feral, drug dealing 7th graders with emotional support issues, conflict resolution impediments and violent encroachment tendenciesWARNING!!! If these things dont appeal to your sensibilities than you may find Canby Park to be a poor choice of vacation destinations (or bus stops) for you.To this point I recommend the 301 bus to the beaches or at the very least stay on the 5 until it reaches Newport.Canby Park does not endorse, suggest or recommend: hiking, running, walking, crawling, biking, skating, rolling bouncing, playing (by self or with others/ with/out toy and/or equipment or otherwise moving in a jovial or nonthreatening manner. These activities are best performed in actual parks (i.e. valley garden, lums pond and white clay) not in open air crime parks where such actions could result in misinterpretation as gang signs or threats to the ruling 7th graders.

I live nearby so Im always walking over here on the paths. I love this park but im forever picking up trash! The teenagers that play basketball trash the place and its ashame because its a nice place. So when i take my walk i pick trash up on my 3 laps and on Saturdays when my husband son and I go over so they can play basket ball we cleanthe playground area and court of all the trash. Great place to walk and play!
