Taking care of our city Parks!
Construction continues at Dover Park (White Oak Rd) on the community center, spray pad and all accessible playground. We are looking forward to opening our new building this fall with the spray pad and all accessible playground in the spring of 2025. A Skatepark is coming to Schutte Park as the next capital improvement project. Be sure to check back for updates on these and other park upgrades.
Due to construction projects in Dover Park, we have temporarily suspended park events/pavilion rentals. We will resume once construction projects are completed.
If you see a park area that needs our attention, please give us a call at (302) 674-7541 or shoot us an email at parks@dover.de.us.
