Fox Point State Park is a ninety-three-acre riverfront park in northern Wilmington created on reclaimed industrial land along the Delaware River. Opened in 1995, it grew from decades of advocacy led by S. Marston Fox, who pushed from 1958 onward to preserve the shoreline for public use rather than industry. After Delaware acquired the land in 1990, the state cleaned up severe contamination from industrial waste and sewage sludge, capping polluted areas so the site could be used safely. The park now links major greenways, offers recreation and river views, attracts migrating birds on the Atlantic Flyway, and remains under ongoing environmental monitoring and development.
