Bellevue State Park

 

78

800 Carr Rd. Wilmington, DE 19809
This picturesque park, formerly a duPont family estate, overlooks the Delaware River. Walking and jogging are popular activities, and a 1 1/8-mile fitness track circles a catch-and-release pond. Hiking and paved and unpaved bike paths lead you through the park, where you might stop at one of the many picnic tables and pavilions. Bellevue Hall is an elegant setting for meetings, weddings and receptions. The tennis facilities feature outdoor clay courts, and the modern equestrian facility has both indoor and outdoor arenas for riding lessons.

Nice 18 hole disc golf course for a sunny day. 2-400ft holes with interesting, varied approach despite few elevation changes. Anticipate long grass in summer would be a huge bummer.
