After serving as a site for mining iron, the 335 acres that now encompass the Iron Hill Park grew into a beautiful natural and wooded area.  The Friends of Iron Hill Park were established in March of 2008 and is comprised of neighborhood residents who share a passion for the park and are willing to volunteer their time to work in partnership with New Castle County to advance positive family activities within the park.  We are committed to encouraging local participation in park activities by promoting projects, programs, and educational opportunities geared towards meeting the growing demand for outdoor recreation and natural resource protection, while at the same time maintaining Iron Hill Park as a scenic natural area.
