The mission of Preservation Parks of Delaware County is to protect and conserve Delaware County's natural scenic, historic and archaeological features for the benefit of present and future generations and provide for enjoyable, safe, easily accessible and aesthetically pleasing outdoor education and passive recreational experiences for the citizens of Delaware County.

Your Preservation Parks are for all to enjoy, so there are some guidelines to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone. Parks are open from 8:00 a.m. to dusk. Beer and alcohol are prohibited, as are hunting, horseback riding and motorized recreational vehicles. To help provide a safe and clean natural area to enjoy, we ask that all pets be on a leash, you clean up after your pet, and you stay on designated trails.

As our mission is to preserve natural areas for passive recreation, there are no facilities for organized sports.

All Preservation Parks are handicapped accessible as is feasible. Most parks have restroom facilities.
