A Bit of History....
The earliest deed from 1783 shows William Thompson purchasing 137 acres from John Bowen. In 1836 John Frazer bought the land and is presumed to have built the 2½ story farmhouse – naming the property The Hermitage.
Subsequent owners added acres and in 1915 John Willis developed the property into a large dairy operation. In 1942 Peter and Elizabeth Zeitler acquired the 500+ acres and became well-known for their Golden Guernsey herd. The Zeitler family continued to farm the land until the mid-1990s.
The Promenade runs from east to west with convenient benches along the varied stone and brick walkway.
Winding Trails and Paved Paths
Crushed gravel trails wind through shady trees in the northern portion of the park.
New Castle County Department of Special Services
Glasgow Park is a great place for visitors to enjoy an amazing range of outdoor activities. There is something for every member of the family; tennis and basketball courts, a lovely promenade lined with benches, a sledding hill that doubles as a great workout for walkers year round, both paved and wooded trails, and a state of the art skateboarding park. Welcome to Glasgow Park and enjoy! Thomas P. Gordon New Castle County Executive

Glasgow Park has so much to enjoy!
Located on over 250 acres just south of Newark, Glasgow Regional Park provides a wonderful opportunity for many outdoor activities.
Winding Trails and Paved PathsCrushed gravel trails wind through shady trees in the northern portion of the park.
A 2.75 mile paved trail circles the southern portion of the park. This multi-use path makes it easy for walking, bicycling, or roller skating. The buildings of the former dairy farm can be seen as you walk through the meadows.
Look for the Activity Stations, opposite Parking Lot C, to share with children.
The Promenade runs from east to west with convenient benches along the varied stone and brick walkway.
Fun Playground
Children are sure to love the new playgrounds installed at Glasgow Park. They can run, climb, swing and slide to their heart’s content on the brightly-colored play equipment. Parents can keep an eye on the fun from shaded benches nearby.

Sledding Hill
Located by the East Entrance, you can follow the gravel path to the summit for a better view. Nicknamed Bear Mountain, the broad slopes are covered with grass in the summer. Then the winter snows turn it into an ideal sledding hill.

Convenient Pavilions

Please call the Dept. of Special Services at (302) 395-5606 for information on reserving the Pavilion for your group activity. Fee charged for reservation.

Glasgow Park has so much to enjoy!
Located on over 250 acres just south of Newark, Glasgow Regional Park provides a wonderful opportunity for many outdoor activities.
Winding Trails and Paved PathsCrushed gravel trails wind through shady trees in the northern portion of the park.
A 2.75 mile paved trail circles the southern portion of the park. This multi-use path makes it easy for walking, bicycling, or roller skating. The buildings of the former dairy farm can be seen as you walk through the meadows.
Look for the Activity Stations, opposite Parking Lot C, to share with children.
The Promenade runs from east to west with convenient benches along the varied stone and brick walkway.
Fun Playground
Children are sure to love the new playgrounds installed at Glasgow Park. They can run, climb, swing and slide to their heart’s content on the brightly-colored play equipment. Parents can keep an eye on the fun from shaded benches nearby.

Sledding Hill
Located by the East Entrance, you can follow the gravel path to the summit for a better view. Nicknamed Bear Mountain, the broad slopes are covered with grass in the summer. Then the winter snows turn it into an ideal sledding hill.
Tennis and Basketball CourtsSix tennis courts and three basketball courts are conveniently located near Parking Lot B.
Convenient Pavilions
Have your next reunion or party at one of the Pavilions in Glasgow Park! There are grills, trash barrels and tables for your use, along with indoor restrooms and electricity. For guaranteed usage and access to the amenities, reservations are necessary. Please call the Dept. of Special Services at (302) 395-5606 for information on reserving the Pavilion for your group activity. Fee charged for reservation.
Skate Park
The popular Skate Park is located by the Main Entrance. It features two different styles of bowls and a street plaza area with a variety of ledges, rails, and banked wall rides. Don’t forget your safety gear!
Portable Restrooms are located near the Parking Lots
