We visited the Rockford Tower in early Spring 2024. The Rockford Tower was not open at that time. It is a beautiful place, Built between 1899 and 1902, the half-million-gallon water storage tank and observatory is constructed of natural field stone. You are able to see the Brandywine River, Dogs are welcome. There are concerts and other events starting late spring through the Fall. From the Tower, you can hike down to the Brandywine River. Its family friendly, an inexpensive way to connect with nature and spend time with family and friends, or a date /meetup. Parking is free. Be sure you put this on your itinerary when visiting the City of Wilmington.

Tower was lit for winter. Very open ground to stretch your legs. A nice spot away from the busy areas.

Really nice public park, lots of people walking and playing with their dogs. The tower itself is a neat piece of history. Apparently it's open on the weekends so you can walk up to the top but we were only able to see the outside.
