Reviews

This well kept new castle county park is quite a gem.  There used to be an amusement park and hotel on the grounds a hundred years ago and the hotel dates back much further.  Friends of Brandywine Springs has posted signs and pictures throughout the park showing where every structure and ride used to be.  This includes a pic of my great grandfather!  (Very cool👍)

The park has open space for picnics, pavillions for group picnics, softball field and a large wooded area with stream and pond where the amusement park was.  I prefer the wooded area for a picnic and let the children play in the stream.

Park is open dusk to dawn.

Beautiful park with nice trails for aerobic hiking or just a blast from the past along the creek basin where placards mark historical sites of old Brandywine Springs Boardwalk of 100 years ago. 

Updated playground set and basketball court. Beautiful pavilions on rolling landscape available for rental. 

Creek trails lead to a railroad track which makes for some pretty cool photo backdrops. The track is active for the Wilmington Western Railroad (entertainment).

General Washington and General Lafayette met under Council Oak a tree that still stands today . While the Continental Army dug trenches the decision was made to move further north. An elegant 100 room was built where  the parking lot is. Its main attraction was the Brandywine Chalybeate Spring which was visited  three times a day to take a drink and enjoy the wooded grounds. The remains of the Brandywine Amusement Park can be accessed by pleasant paths.

Great park, great history. Never knew how much was in the area in the late 1800's. Great historical value, pleasantly surprised, a great find.

This park is under maintenance. It is historically significant,  but is poorly maintained and in flux.

Stay tuned for updates.
