Battery Park is an expansive public park near the historic downtown of New Castle, Delaware. This spot is popular for picnicking, fishing, and walking down the scenic Battery Park Trail, a paved path that follows the shore of the Delaware River. Once you are done exploring by the water you can head into town and visit Historic New Castle and the New Castle Court House, part of the First State National Historic Park. The annual "Separation Day" celebration is held in Battery Park each year, commemorating the political division of Delaware from Pennsylvania.
