Glasgow Park

Glasgow Park or Glasgow County Park is part of the New Castle County park system. It is located on Pulaski Highway and South College Avenue in Newark, Delaware. The park contains more than 250 acres of land with a lot of open space and forest. The park is home to Bear Mountain, known locally as a sledding hill. It is perhaps the biggest hill in the entire state, which is not very large at all.

Glasgow Park has 2.7 miles of paved trail that loops around the park, amenities, and features. Picnicking is a favored pastime of visitors to the park due to the open space and shade the trees offer. Recently a $10 million renovation was completed in order to attract more visitors and make the park more enjoyable.

The park is dog friendly; however, dogs must be on a leash at all times and their owners are required for picking up after them. Hours for the park are considered dawn to dusk or 8am to 8pm depending on the season.

Even after the renovation the hill was maintained for sledding in winter. The trail can also be used for cross country skiing or snowshoeing for those who enjoy those activities.
