Sussex County opens park near Woodland

Sussex County has opened a new park at the site of a former par-3 golf course near Woodland about five miles west of Seaford. The 20-acre park with nearly a mile of trails will be open dawn to dusk. The land was purchased for $580,000 in 2010 by the county as a spoils site for the Nanticoke River dredge project. County council then approved $143,000 to construct the park. The only other county park is the James Farm Preserve located near Ocean View, which is managed by the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays.
