Talley Day Park is a lovely place. Where else can you find a library, playground, dog walk, and walking paths all in one place. The dog area is even split into large and small dog areas. Plus the picnic tables make this a great place to spend some family outdoor time. Plus there is a nearby pond with ducks to visit.

Went to the dog park there for the first time this year and was very disappointed. It looked like it hasn't been maintained in months, especially the small dog side. There's clumps of grass, weeds and vines growing on the fence. Hopefully they clean it up sometime soon cause it really is a great dog park.

The park was beautiful and well maintained. Its in a great area and my niece always has someone to play with when we go. On top of having the huge Brandywine library on the same property and legitimately right next to the park. There's always something for everyone! Planning a small outing for yourself and friends? Consider doing it at this park (:
