$10,000 goal

FOCHSP members are active and enthusiastic, however neither of those attributes pay for playgrounds or bus rides for schoolchildren or much of anything else. In recent years, we have raised funds for significant improvements such as the installation and operation of the Osprey Camera, purchasing an ATV type  vehicle for use by the Park's maintenance department,  funding the construction of a new pavilion at the primitive campground , purchasing  beach wheelchairs and additional   mobility mats to aid handicapped access to the beaches.

 We hope you will consider helping us help to keep Cape Henlopen State Park a fun place for all.

About Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park

  • Purchase of beach access mats for dune crossings, beach-accessible wheelchairs, renovation of the park’s disc golf course, bicycle fix-it stations, water fountains, and restrooms.
  • Construction and maintenance of the park playground.
  • Grant monies for refurbishment of the boardwalk at the McBride Bathhouse.
  • A monarch butterfly feeding station next to the Biden Center.
Plans include funding for improvements such as shade structures in the picnic area and eco-friendly ground cover for the children’s playground.
