   EDITOR REVIEW:

Opened in 2007, with landscaping and work ongoing, much is already in place to enjoy. At the center is the Blue Ball Barn, a much loved local landmark once part of A. I. du Pont's Nemours property. It was renovated using all "green" technologies and now houses historic exhibits of the barn and the Delaware Folk Art Collection in an upstairs gallery. Biking and walking trails are part of the Delaware Greenway trail, a nearly continuous link of existing parklands between the Delaware River and Brandywine Creek. Trails between Alapocas Drive and the Brandywine Creek pass through an old quarry and beautiful valley. Rock climbing, hikes, and other activities are led by park staff throughout the year. See website for latest schedule and details.
