Reviews of Rittenhouse Park (Tourist Attraction)

Sam

This is a beautiful place to send a day walking in the woods. Serene place, a small stream, bridges across, some play area and good trails. There is parking on site a bit away inside from the main road. The google maps show a wrong road 'Art Lane' which actually is into a sub-division of homes and a cul-de-sac. Go further about 100 meters and you can see the actual entrance. It is a dirt-road and the board on the side says, "Vehicles should not be taken on the property".. Go ahead and go the parking lot to park. This warning is meant for taking the vehicles on the trails - may be ATVs. It is a bit confusing. You can also park on the road side and then walk to the property too. Anyway it is a great place to walk and have time of peace and tranquility. Closes at dusk.

Danielle Kranz

One of our family's favorite nature parks to visit. We all love playing in the creek here. My daughter went to summer camp here a few year back and I went to summer camp here 23 years ago. It is serene, calming, beautiful nature, great paths to follow, a small pavilion, and a children's park. Plus, fishing is allowed and pretty good spot from what we've heard from other park goers.

Went to visit the park. Hadn't been there for at least 30 years. Had a nice hike and took some great pictures. Many improvements since I was young. Trail markers, playground, information signs. Was a very nice trip down memory lane.

Good for short walks. Small playground. Small creak.

Michael Romagnoli

Very nice little park nestled in the middle of a lot of development. A good local place to have a picnic, walk your dog, or just get out for a short stroll. The Christina River, near it's headwaters, flows through the middle of the park. Makes for a nice atmosphere.

Dennis Adams

Great park in the heart of Newark. Christiana creek is beautiful and gets stocked with trout for the April trout season opening!

Kristina Heitur

Beautiful park!

Paul

Great park for a walk

Lynn Riley

The park is lovely, but suffering terrible erosion, weeds and invasive plant growth, and a great deal of poison ivy. Still beautiful and able to support wild life but needs a lot of help.

Drew Teter

Great little park for day trips with amenities for small children

Jeff and Alana and Gracie Kappauf

Nice place to go on a family short hike. Not too technical

Mike Petrucci

I've never gone down the trails but now and then I'll come and just sit by the creek. Great place to enjoy a cup of coffee (or sandwich if a lunch break).

Kimberly Walls

Not the prettiest park in DE but it's good privacy and has a small creek

Matt Mangat

The park itself is nice, but the hiking trails aren't maintained and can be dangerous.

Sal Vaccarino

Beautiful park with fantastic views. Can be used for outings, events, or just a stroll on the trails.

Heidi Hoistad

little piece of paradise in Newark!

Robert Pennock

Dana Akhtar

Nice quiet park. Nice scenery for photos

Bhavesh Patel

Magic for the little ones and young at heart.

David Haas

Gorgeous hiking trails. Parking is limited, but it wasn't that busy. Mosquitoes were brutal the day I went there. Teach your kids what poison ivy is and why they need to avoid it if you go on the trails. Nice pavilion and playground.

Asjad Azeez

Very good for trekking and fishing

A Roberts

Great place for the whole family . Walking , water , fish , trees , swings & pavilions. Great spot . Dogs are wonderful to play in the beach . Would be nice if ppl didn't bring aggressive , or dogs that don't play well with others .

Walter J Shuster III

Was a great little place to explore to give the kids something to do. The tucked away playground was nice and peaceful.

Panda Monium

What an amazing place to visit for hiking, fishing and even playing in the river. . The only negative thing were the mosquitoes on the hiking trails. All in all wonderful experience, definitely will visit again.

Deniz Tezcan

This is one of my favorite parks in the area. It's mostly flat so the level of difficulty is low. The beauty is immense. The towering oaks, sweet gum and poplars lend a nice shade to you journey. The beech and iron wood trees along the water have such lovely trunk and root structure. There's generally a cool, gentle breeze from the water perfumed with moist moss and wild flowers.

Metaloids Inc

Very pretty

Amanda Brown
