Bellevue State Park is a 328 acre state park in the suburbs of Wilmington, Delaware. It used to be owed by the du Pont Family but was purchased by the state of Delaware in 1976 after the owner William du Pont Jr. passed away as his children had no interest in maintaining it. This area and Salmon Hole have some tree species in common, such as Norway Maple, Northern Red Oak and American Beech. Both natural areas are also surrounded by buildings and roads.
This pond naturally occurs, but had to be cleaned up about 20 years ago to get rid of all the goose droppings and other things floating in the water. The pond is home to fish species, turtles, and various birds and is open for catch and release fishing. This helps add to the recreation in Wilmington, without harming the fish population.
Bellevue is also home to multiple trails in the wooded area, as well as deer and wolves. You can see in the first picture there is a small stream coming from the pond that was used to help flow the water out of the pond when they were cleaning it. There is also this metal stand off of one of the trails that was used back when Bellevue Mansion housed the du Ponts and there was production and construction happening throughout the land.
