Warinanco Park

Warinanco Park is a recreational facility with extensive sports amenities, including baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a 400-meter running track. The grounds also feature a lake for paddleboating and an ice rink for winter activities.

The grounds were designed in the 1920s by the Olmsted brothers, sons of Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted. Their plans continue to shape how the park looks and functions today.

The park bears the name of Warinanco, a Lenape leader from the region's early days, connecting visitors to the area's indigenous roots. This history is woven into the landscape as people move through the grounds and enjoy the open spaces.

The grounds are open year-round, with summer programs at the lake and winter offerings at the ice rink. Visitors should keep the season in mind when planning which activities to enjoy.

The Caxton Brown Memorial Azalea Garden features hundreds of plants arranged in multiple beds near the administration building. This collection transforms the setting each spring into a sea of blooms.
