Confirmed from Delco Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Sprawling, family-friendly space with ball fields, volleyball courts, a BMX track and a playground.

Such a relaxing place to fish and walk around , the wildlife is soo beautiful 😍
Delco park has a lot to offer...from softball fields to butterfly gardens. It has a small pond with ducks/geese and a nice walking path. Sometimes the geese poop on the paved walk ways. People fish in the pond. It has a nice restroom facility and places where they play youth soccer.
A great place to walk around the pond and feed the dogs. Beautiful, well maintained, and great for social events.
Trail conditions & character
“A view of the staging area for the fireworks from across the pond gave twice the show in the waters reflection.”
