Discovery Park
The Felton Discovery Park adjacent to the Felton Library fosters learning and connection. The 2-acre park features creek restoration, an interpretive nature trail, pollinator gardens, and interactive areas like a stage, amphitheater, and nature play zone.
Designed with community input, it promotes environmental education and collaboration with local organizations, supported by the Felton Library Friends through fundraising and volunteering.
