1 Best Sight in New Castle, Delaware

Battery Park

Walk in the footsteps of William Penn, who first set foot on American soil here—a historic marker records the event—and take a peaceful stroll with wide views of the Delaware River and Delaware Memorial Bridge from the trails and boardwalk. You can picnic on the vast lawn and watch the barges go by while the kids enjoy the playground. One park walkway leads into the town's historic center, making the park easy to access while touring.
