Alapocas Run State Park
Alapocas Run State Park features a variety of scenic areas and opportunities for recreation. This wooded park began with 123 acres deeded to the city in 1910. Today it features 191 acres of scenic pathways, majestic rocky cliffs and areas to enjoy nature right in the middle of Wilmington.
Alapocas Run State Park is located off I-95 near the intersection of Concord Pike and Foulk Road. There is always something happening – from kids at play, to climbers belaying the rocky cliffs, walkers, bikers and even rugby matches!
