Board of Park Commissioners 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.  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.  Overview of Preservation Parks Preservation Parks of Delaware County was created in response to a growing need to protect open space and unique natural habitats for the public good. Generous contributions of land, material, equipment and time from donors and volunteers helped the Park District survive many years without adequate funding. Then, in 1999, voters passed a levy to provide ongoing funding for park stewardship.Preservation Parks' mission is to provide passive recreation activities, such as hiking and picnicking, while keeping development to a minimum. Walking paths and viewing areas allow people to get close to nature without disturbing it. Within the park system, visitors can see rolling meadows, wetlands, virtually untouched wood lots, the remains of glaciers, ravine systems and waterways. Throughout Delaware County, Preservation Parks are only a short distance away, providing special green and quiet places for everyone to experience the timeless value of nature. Trained personnel offer nature education programs and prepare the parks for your enjoyment while preserving natural areas for the future. Parks: 8:00 to Dusk, 365 days a year.
