We help make the park more fun
FOCHSP has been instrumental in providing, supporting and maintaining various facilities in Cape Henlopen State Park. including the Borrow-a-Bike program and others:
Playground
Both the FOCHSP and the park’s management recognized the need for a playground suited to small children. In 2009, they worked to identify a suitable location and appropriate equipment for a playground in the park. We devoted the proceeds from most of the FOCHSP fundraising efforts for several years to this project. We also applied for, and received monies from The Longwood Foundation and the Marmot Foundation. Delaware State Representative Pete Schwartzkopf and State Senator Gary Simpson provided additional support from their Community Transportation Funds for bike and pedestrian pathways and curbing throughout the playground area.
Groundbreaking for the playground was held in October 2011. The playground was completed and dedicated in August 2012.
The playground is located near the basketball courts, across the road from the disc golf course.
There are two play areas: one for ages 2-5 and one for ages 6 and up.
