McMullen Farm Park
Project Status
July 16, 2007
DelDOT's agreement with JP Morgan Chase included the purchase, at a discount rate, of 50 acres of the 153-acre JP Morgan Chase site as public parkland. This site, tentatively called the McMullen Farm Park in honor of the last family to own and farm the land, extends along the east side of SR 7 from Rivers End Drive to south of Newtown Road, providing a public amenity for the surrounding community. During 2004, DelDOT established a working group to guide the development of a master plan for the park. Although DelDOT is committed to establishment of a park on this site, planning has been placed on hold pending imminent purchase of the adjacent site to the south by a private developer. The project is not currently funded for design or construction.
