Wilmington State Parks is a state park located in Wilmington, Delaware. Open year round, the park is approximately of land mostly situated along the Brandywine Creek. The state park is made up of a group of smaller parks that are administratively managed as a single unit. Although much of the land comprising Wilmington State Parks is owned by the city of Wilmington, the park is operated and maintained by the Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation, a branch of the state's Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. The state park was created in 1998 when the Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation assumed management responsibilities,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031105032717/http://www.dnrec.state.de.us/parks/50th/DSPhistory90s.htm )〕 though the individual parks are much older, with the oldest dating back to 1886. There are numerous statues, monuments, and memorials in Wilmington State Parks, including war memorials as well as statues and memorials to historically significant Wilmingtonians such as Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, U.S. Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard, conservationist William Poole Bancroft, and shipbuilder William H. Todd.
