Description

Blue Limestone Park is a hidden gem of the Delaware City Parks. It is named for the fine-grained "blue" Delaware limestone exposed by the last glaciers. Quarrying began around 1840 and the limestone was used for many buildings in Delaware. After quarry operations ceased in the 1930s, it filled with water and became a popular "swimming hole". Later it became a private park and eventually a City park. There are many Blue Limestone Park ghost stories that have been repeated over the years. Walking tours will last about 90 minutes to 2 hours. Parking is available on-site or in the OWU parking lot located on John Street which can be accessed by either King Ave. off William St. or from Elizabeth St. Eventbrite charges a small fee which will be added to your ticket price.
