About

Bellevue State Park is a historic 331-acre estate overlooking the Delaware River in Wilmington, Delaware. The park preserves the legacy of Bellevue Hall, the former mansion of William du Pont, Jr., who surrounded his home with exceptional facilities including tennis courts, equestrian stables, manicured gardens, and a scenic pond set amid rolling meadows and woodlands. The park serves as a year-round recreational retreat offering a 1⅛ mile fitness loop on the former horse track, fishing opportunities, and numerous trails for walking, jogging, and cycling. The Bellevue Arts Center provides programming for visitors of all ages, while summer concerts and performances at the bandshell entertain from June through August. Fall hayrides and winter ice skating add seasonal variety. This day-use park is a popular destination for picnicking with reservable pavilions, outdoor sports, and enjoying the historic architecture and scenic Delaware River views. The park is open year-round with entrance fees in effect March 1 through November 30.
