Delaware’s acclaimed state park system will mark a major milestone this year as officials prepare to launch a year-long celebration honoring 75 years of recreational excellence.
Starting March 1, when the 2026 fee season officially opens, visitors can expect enhanced programming and special activities throughout all 17 parks in Delaware’s state system, according to the DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation.
Officials are promoting annual passes as an economical option for families and individuals looking to take full advantage of the anniversary festivities planned across the park network during this landmark year.
The diamond anniversary celebration promises to highlight the evolution and achievements of Delaware’s state parks, which have earned recognition and awards over their seven-and-a-half decades of operation.
