Back to Wilmington State Parks Main Page

This picturesque park is the heart of Wilmington State Parks and runs along either side of the Brandywine River. Visitors can enjoy a stroll or jog along the river, picnic lunch, and other activities among the park's monuments, formal gardens, and natural areas. The Josephine Fountain, a favorite place to make a wish, is located here. Visually-impaired visitors can enjoy the wonders of nature by walking the Sensory Trail. Brandywine Park is home to the Brandywine Zoo and Baynard Stadium.

A state-of-the-art Andean Condor exhibit features a 110,000-cubic-foot fly cage. Admission is charged from April through October.
