Went to the park to celebrate the lives of children we lost... It was a beautiful well organized event. This was the first of hopefully many to come. The park is easy to find and there are great spots by the water to take beautiful pics.

Always a fave to walk the paved trail along the water, sunset is gorgeous and its a good place to see some big watercrafts.

Not worth paying a fee. Although its seclusion is a pro, its size and cost are definitely cons. I thought the view off the Delaware river would be something special but it was nothing different than the view from I-495.

Nice paved walking path. Handicap accessible. Great view of the river. Love that they dont now the whole park and the plant life that is growing (especially the giant dandelions). Didnt get the chance to check out the pavilion area or playground but seemed nice. Restrooms available but I have no idea whether theyre clean...but not portopotties.

Hidden gem along the Delaware River. Wide paved path circles the park good for walking, biking, etc. Looks sketch while driving in through local industry, but a nice place to hang out and watch the river action.

Beautiful view of the Delaware River with lots of highway sounds. Its lovely to be able to walk along the water and ashamed the traffic noise is so pervasive.

I found out when I drove up that you have to pay $8 to go for a walk in this little Park. I was not aware that Delaware charged for its state parks. Although it was a nice walk it was not worth that cost. I wont be going back.

It was an amazing experience! Celebrating our party at this hotel with my best friends was a perfect choice. Their services are great and as well as their hospitality in the cafe. We would like to commend our gorgeous friend who always spread her good vibes with her amazing smile. Keep up the good work!

The park has a decent view of new jersey plus has q place to sit down and eat at. The playground is a decent size as well along with the people there being good to interact with. The only complaint i have is the park tables because the benches are flimsy and are a bit uncomfortable to sit on.

Fox Point is a pleasent place to visit, we take some reading material with us and sit and read for about 2 hours. Being right on the river you might see a few ships passing by. On our last visit we saw 3 ships.

This park is such a nice walk near the water. There are accessible bathrooms during the open season and you can enjoy the park for free without a park pass during the off season. Its right near 495 so you can hear the traffic but it’s still a great walking path and views of the water. There is also a nice park for kids and signs with history to read about.

Love to see the ships come and go from the benches they have. They have also build a new table area as well have a nice area to walk.My grandson loves the playground as well. Well worth getting the yearly pass.

There was no porta potties for the new Pavilion that was built. Park maintenance did not come by to see if everyone was safe during the time of the storm. Not once a day give a warning to vacate the premises because the storm was coming. Thank God that everyone returned home safely on 8/7/2020.

Did a few miles on the trail on my bike. Wish it was a loop. Its close to 95 so its a bit noisy, but I gotta say its pretty cool how close the cargo ships get while going down the Delaware River.

Our family reunion was fantastic. I kept my eyes on the Delaware looking and anticipating the waterway traffic. Awesome breeze

I love the views I dont visit often due to the fact the land was a toxic dump site. Can you really clean up cancer or did they simply top it off with clean soil?

Very clean and very nice for family functions. We had my nieces 5th birthday party today. They have a nice playground with sand box, volley ball net set up, horseshoes, and a very nice picnic area.

Review №62

I really wouldnt call this place a state park. Its more like a rest area without indoor plumbing or vending machines. Or paved roads. Or parking stalls. Or any covered buildings. Nice place to take a walk along the Delaware river. Just not alone or unarmed. The gravel road is really bumpy... seriously looks like Beirut.

I thought 8 dollars was to much for out of town car. Plus the family paid to use the park. No sign showing that the family had the right to use the area. Reservation was made by my daughter.

Review №78

Great park to get in some cardio. The trails are along the Delaware Bay and across the Bay you have a view of New Jersey. The park is perfect for warm, sunny days and even gray cloudy ones if the wind is weak. But when the wind is kicking its pretty hard to have a good time. There is a playground for children, bathrooms that ARE open and historical landmarks that you can talk a walk and make stops to read about the history of the park. Great place. Ive been coming here quite often.

Fox Point is a family friendly park to visit, picnic, play in the playground, walk or ride a bike. Enjoy watching container and cargo ships going by on the Delaware River. The park is in sight of the Delaware Memorial Bridges and the Commodore Barry Bridge. Delaware State Park visitor fees may apply.

Review №85

Cant walk close to the water, not that you would want to. Bad industrial smell and if you want to drive down a ways, prepare for gravel road and large pot holes. It only cost $8, but was not worth it

Review №86

Very clean, and family friendly. Just enough space for tots to run its destined to grow bigger and better with time. Bring a book or chill watching the ship sail by alone the beautiful Delaware river.

Its a nice place to walk, breezy, open and pretty flat. There are several nice - sized pavilions with grills. There is a fee during part of the year. Ive only had my dogs here a couple of times, but it seems that folks pick up after their pets, havent come across wayward piles.

Review №92

This park should not even have a star. The grass was so over grown, my kids kept pulling ticks off their bodies. The play area was mucky, this park has not seen replenished mulch on the play area in years by the looks of it. The play equipment should be roped off in my opinion. The shakey bridge that the kids run over has bolts sticking out, pin about .5 foot long sticking out the side at eye level to a little kid running around. The amount of trash was just disgusting. The state should be embarrassed to charge patrons to use this waste of a decent space!!!

Great view of the river, seating areas, pavilions, restrooms and walking/biking paths. What would have made this visit better....if they had cut the grass. I dont like walking through mid calf high grass especially with the tick problem.
