Welcome to Preservation Parks of Delaware County

Our goals are to pre­serve green space in our rapidly devel­op­ing county and to pro­vide envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tion to its res­i­dents. Because parks add value to our qual­ity of life, Preser­va­tion Parks is com­mit­ted to con­tin­u­ing to acquire and develop addi­tional areas which can enrich the lives and pro­vide clean, safe places for recre­ation and relax­ation for all mem­bers of our com­mu­nity.

Our main­te­nance and park police staff are pro­fes­sional and proud of the qual­ity of our parks and their role in keep­ing the parks in excel­lent con­di­tion. And, our edu­ca­tion staff is eager and excited to share with you the vari­ety and beauty of the plants and ani­mals under our stew­ard­ship.

Enjoy your visit and return often,
