Delaware is a pretty dog-friendly state, but it can be hard to find a spot to walk your dog that isn’t overrun with crowds. If you do find a good walking park, chances are it’s along a paved trail or part of a more barren landscape in the woods or in the city. That’s why so many people are thrilled to learn that Valley Garden Park, in Greenville, is a dog-friendly destination in Delaware that’s packed to the brim with stunning botanical gardens.
If you’re looking for a peaceful place to walk your pooch, head to Valley Garden Park.
