Valley Garden Park

Ponder no longer thoughts of boring concrete & buildings for this park shifts you to a different stratosphere. The way you’re completely removed from civilization truly shows you what it’s like to be one with nature. I want to thank you Valley Garden Park for allowing me to get down to your level and be one with the squirrels, water, and vegetation. I am forever changed.

This is a great place to just take a walk, sit on a bench or on a blanket and relax. I enjoy the sounds of nature from the stream and the birds, it's like music to my ears. The trees are Beautiful!

I've always loved this park, even as a kid. Perfect for pinic's on the grass, walks, hiking, and just laying in the grass with a good book. Dog friendly, just keep on a leash. There are porta jons.

Valley Garden Park is one of those not so famous places. But, I guess it does have a lot of competition with showstoppers like Longwood Gardens, Wintertur, Hagley Museum, and Nemours Estate in the area. (All a part of the duPont family legacy.) The white and pink flowering trees as you stroll through the paved loop trail are just gorgeous in April.

One thing Valley Garden Park has going for it is it’s variety of trees. If you take 30 minutes to walk the 1.3 mile paved trail, you will see all types both big and small.

Most of the people that I passed on the trail were locals just getting out for a walk. I was the only one with a camera. So, I’m assuming I was the only tourists.

This little park checks most of the boxes for a great adventure…trees, flowers, paved trails, water, and open fields. What’s not to like!

Stopped at our little slice of heaven last Fall with the beautiful foliage and needed a repeat so stopped in after walking Oversee Farm. Did a mile walk around and everything was so green! Plan to visit again in the Winter with snow covering all the trees!

Lovely little park, formerly a DuPont estate donated to Wimington. Several paved trails and some dirt trails. Come check it out

If you live in northern New Castle County, you must have heard of Valley Garden! Beautiful place to come to enjoy, have a picnic, or go for a real good hike through the wilderness all the way to the Hoopes Reservoir!

We took our puppy to this park for his first park experience and it was great! It was the perfect place for him to meet other dogs and to experience different situations like people running by him. Not to mention it is just a beautiful park to walk around in.

Great views and very good place for walks. Just pass the time appreciating nature, spending time with family and/or friends or just walking the dog. 1st time ive visited and really liked the place. 10/10 i will definitely come back and recommend to family and friends.

Beautiful and serene. The hills are filled with daffodils. Look forward to coming back when the rhododendrons are in bloom.

Beautiful park tucked away in in the Valley in Northern Delaware. Great for walking, picnics, short hikes on trails, and best of all it's free!

A quiet park not far from Wilmington/Trolley Square/Greenville.

Amazing park in all seasons, very peaceful atmosphere, great for walk, picnic, photo shoot, dog walk etc..

Went to this park today. It’s important to pay attention to the entrance sign because the park closes at different times throughout the year. Well maintained and beautiful place.

Very picturesque park located in Delaware's historic Brandywine River Valley. A great place for a picnic, walking, or just lying out under the sun.

Great place to take a walk! Took my 4 year old and we almost went all the way to Far Meadow and back and it wasn't too much for him. Beautiful little stream right down the middle and there were still some flowers blooming!

Beautiful hidden gem.... definitely enough room for a disc golf course too! How can we make that happen??

Hidden treasure! I come here at least weekly to either run, walk, or spend time with my pup. There is also a trail in the back called Hobbs Trail. The entrance is marked but it isn't on the map. Highly reccommend.

Beautiful park, very quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Such a lovely park, a great place for walks and biking.! 🌺🚴🌲🌻
