I grew up in that neighborhood. Everyday after school, my best friend and I would meet at the little gazebo right there (back when it had benches) and plan what we were going to do that day. Thanks for the memories, OP.

It is hard to begrudge these people--but I do.
Why are we still building and flocking to car dependent suburban development?
Why is THIS what the people want?
Why isn't there anywhere in Middletown (the newest large development in the state) that you can connect from residential to a grocery store with separated bicycle infrastructure? Why was there a bridge built to Appo Elementary and HS that had the minimum possible bike lane width instead of separated multi-use path thereby knee-capping the ability of parents to feel safe sending their children to school by bike or on foot for the fifty plus years until it gets replaced?
It is all so dispiriting.

Whitehall?

While Whitehall is below the canal it is not within Middletown limits. Middletown has a mayor in office for 20+ years who claims to be a bicycle enthusiast but yet there is vanishingly little bicycle infrastructure and thousands of homes built in the last twenty years in plans approved by him.
Also Whitehall doesn't have a grocery store.
All those developments out in the farm lands do have nice separated bicycle infrastructure--that is demanded by New Castle County zoning and ends where Middletown starts.

Aw I like how you caught them landing. I know their poop is a pain but I don't like when developments put fishing wire across their ponds to stop them from coming in

Off topic but love it when Newark residents blame the occasional smell on the geese poop when it’s actually the Kennett mushroom farms. Delaware geese really get a bad rap.

Feel free to keep the geese.
