The park is located just off I-95 at Route 202 Concord Pike near the intersection of Foulk and Weldin Roads. The park offers over 2 miles of the Northern Delaware Greenway Trail plus the 0.7-mile Alapocas Woods Trail with a PawPaw loop extension. A unique feature is the rock climbing wall utilizing the walls of an old granite quarry. The 26,000-square-foot Can-Do Playground is fully accessible to children with disabilities. Three athletic fields are available for team sports, and the adjacent Rock Manor Golf Course is open to the public. The historic Blue Ball Barn, once an abandoned dairy barn built by Alfred I. DuPont, has been restored and houses the Delaware Folk Art Collection featuring over 120 works by 50 local artists. The barn also offers conference and meeting rooms for rent. A pavilion and picnic area with outdoor grills is available for day-use reservations. This park does not have overnight camping facilities.
