New Castle County · Newark
The county's flagship park. A large playground with adaptive swings and the fully fenced High5 adaptive sensory playground, shade sails and a shade pavilion, a skate bowl, a promenade, and the busiest public dog park in the state.

New Castle County · Wilmington
Meadows, ponds and a lake off Limestone Road, with miles of walking trails and an unusual playground built from cement teepees, canoes, horses and climbing rocks. Also has an equestrian center and an off-leash dog area that local reviews rate highly.

New Castle County · Wilmington
The site of a 19th-century resort and later an amusement park, now woodland and playing fields with interpretive markers where the rides used to be. Volunteers run archaeology days.
→
New Castle County · Wilmington
A neighborhood park sharing a site with the Brandywine Hundred library. Covered pavilions, mature shade, a playground and one of the better-kept dog parks in the county.

Wilmington Park Trust Fund Commission · Greenville
A hundred-acre du Pont estate garden given to the city in 1942, sitting outside the city limits near Hoopes Reservoir. A paved path along a creek, and in early spring the magnolias and the daffodil bank. That's genuinely it — no playground, no pavilion, no plumbing. Come for a walk and the flowering trees, not for an afternoon.
→
Delaware State Parks · Wilmington
The state's big accessible playground, inside Alapocas Run State Park. Ramps to the upper decks rather than steps, poured rubber under the swings, shade over the main structure, and sand tables raised high enough to pull a wheelchair under. A Ninja Fit obstacle course and a picnic pavilion sit in the same field.
→
New Castle County · Wilmington
A Gothic Revival mansion and its grounds, with gardens, lawns and walking paths. Hosts a farmers market. More formal than the county's other parks. This is a stroll rather than a hike.
→
New Castle County · Wilmington
A large county park south-west of Wilmington with ponds, ball fields and picnic areas. New Castle County lists a dog park here on its own dog-parks page; what's inside it — fencing, water, shade, surface — nobody has checked.

New Castle County · Newark
Woodland and trails on the highest ground in this part of the county, with a well-known disc golf course, a playground and a small fenced dog park.

New Castle County · Wilmington
A small riverside park with a fenced dog park. A large shade tree in the big-dog area was removed, so shade is now limited.

New Castle County · Wilmington
The county's big playing-field park off Duncan Road: baseball, soccer, football, tennis, basketball and street hockey, with paved trails, a fitness circuit and woods around the edge. Free to walk into; you only pay if you're booking a field.
→
Kent County · Camden
Eighty-six acres with the fullest facility list of any county park in Kent. Sand volleyball, horseshoes, multiple trails, pavilions with grills, sports fields, a nature center and a stage. Historic buildings on site.
→
Kent County · Camden
Playground, open space and trails along Tidbury Creek, with a fenced dog park. The dog park is closed on Sundays, which is unusual and catches people out.

Kent County · Dover
A 1.5-mile nature trail, flat and easy, used mostly for walking and dog-walking. A nature preserve rather than a facilities park. Come for the walk, not the amenities.
→
Kent County · Smyrna
A Kent County park north of Dover with a 1.1-mile loop, ball fields and an outdoor fitness area. Restrooms and water fountains both listed by the county — rarer than it should be.
→
Kent County · Harrington
A 78-acre Kent County park near Killens Pond with a wetland boardwalk, ball fields and shaded picnic ground. Dogs are allowed on a leash.
→
Kent County · Dover
A Kent County landing on the St Jones River. What's actually there hasn't been checked. The name suggests boat access, and that's a guess, not a fact.
→
Kent County · Dover
A 52-acre Kent County park in Dover with a synthetic turf field, a 0.8-mile walking route and shade.
→
City of Dover · Dover
Dover's main recreation park: three tennis courts, a softball field, a multipurpose field, two basketball courts, a disc golf course, two pavilions, picnic areas, walking paths, fishing and playgrounds. Also a three-section dog park with a full agility course.

Where this dataset stands
Nothing from Sussex, and that isn't an oversight — every park onSussex County's own parks page is a state park, read 8 August 2026. It's the one Delaware county with no parks department, so below Kent the answer is the state parks and your town.
7 of 19 still read Not confirmed. That's the honest state of it — every one is onthe call list and none of them will say "yes" until someone has checked.
