Restrooms

Yes — season not confirmed

Confirmed present. Still to check: whether these are the park’s own facilities or the adjacent library’s — it matters, because the library keeps shorter hours than the park.

Confirmed 2 Aug 2026 · Matthew Werth, in person

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.

The dog park inside it

This park contains Talley Day Dog Park, which has its own page with the eight fields that decide whether the trip is worth it — fenced, size split, water, shade, surface, fee and hours.

Field notes

What I saw on the day. Not checked with anyone, and it can go out of date faster than the facts above.

  • Field note · 8 August 2026 · Site maintainer

    Confirmed on the ground: a baseball/soccer field, basketball courts, a gaga pit, the playground, shade, paved paths, trails and charcoal grills. Three of those were sitting at "Not confirmed" — courts and fields, paved paths, and grills. The gaga pit has no field and isn't getting one. A schema field for something one park in nineteen has would print "Not confirmed" on the other eighteen, which is noise pretending to be rigour. It lives here, where somebody with a nine-year-old will find it.
