Rockford Park, Public park in Wilmington, United States.

The 68-acre Rockford Park contains tennis courts, baseball fields, walking paths, and wooded areas spread across rolling hills near the Brandywine River.

William Poole Bancroft established the park in 1889 by donating 59 acres of his property, with the du Pont family contributing an additional 9 acres.

The stone water tower, Rockford Tower, opens for public tours during summer Sundays and hosts Monday evening concerts for the local community.

The park includes numerous fitness stations, multiple sports facilities, and an off-leash dog area where residents exercise with their pets throughout the day.

The 110-foot Rockford Tower stands as the central structure of the park, providing visitors with extended views across Wilmington from its observation deck.
