The newest in the collection of Preservation Parks will be formally dedicated this Saturday with a morning of family activities and the opportunity to hike one of the park’s three trails.
Hickory Woods Park is located at 1271 Pollack Road in Delaware.
This 115 acre site sits on former agricultural fields which have been transformed into wetlands, prairies, and groves of oak and hickory trees. A variety of wildlife calls the park home, including rabbits, red foxes, grey tree frogs, and spring peepers.
Three trails with a reasonable distance are available, including:
- Gravel Trail, 0.5 miles – Gravel & Boardwalk, no elevation change
- Meadow Primitive Trail, 0.4 miles – Primitive trail, slight elevation change
- Woodland Primitive Trail, 0.9 miles – Primitive trail, slight elevation change
According to its website, Hickory Woods Park’s theme is “Inspiring Outdoor Exploration,” providing unique opportunities not available at other parks in the system.
The ribbon cutting will take place at 10:00 AM.
