Downtown Newark: Lots To See & Do

There is always something happening in Downtown Newark. It’s a college town, a colonial treasure and a bustling business sector, all rolled into one! Bring the family and you’ll always find something special on Main Street. If you’re looking to shop, you’ll find an eclectic mix of stores as varied as they are interesting. Where else can you find a jewelry store down the street from a classic comic book shop?

Or just walk around and discover the varied history of this area as part of the Nation’s “First State.” On a nice day, you can’t beat the scenery, even if you just want to people watch! And dining can be a difficult choice because there are over 60 restaurants on Main Street and adjoining streets. No matter what you want, it's just a short walk away — and just minutes from Riverfront Heights!

Iron Hill Park: Enjoy the Delaware Outdoors

Iron Hill Park is proof that anything can be turned into a natural wonder. Located on Old Baltimore Pike, Iron Hill Park served as an iron mine for many years. Now, local volunteers have lovingly restored it as a 335 acre community jewel. This is a terrific spot to bring the family and enjoy the beauty of nature.

There’s plenty of room in the picnic area for families and friends to gather, and everyone is welcome to take a hike to get some exercise. Photography is not only allowed, it’s encouraged! There are monthly nature tours, and bring the family to the Iron Hill Park Museum. Operated by the Delaware Academy of Science, the museum is a place of fun and learning.
