Fox Point State Park is just off Interstate 495 and is the northern terminus of Delaware's Coastal Heritage Greenway.

S. Marston Fox spent the last twenty-five years of his life working to transform a stretch of land along the Delaware River in northern Wilmington.

The state of Delaware acquired the land in 1990 and began the process of remediating the hazardous waste site.

[2] The soil at Fox Point State Park had been contaminated by industrial waste and sewage sludge.

Funds provided by the State of Delaware's Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act were designated to use a commonly employed strategy to contain waste a landfills: a cap system.

The cap system plan called for an impermeable layer of plastic to cover the 15 acres (6.1 ha) of contaminated land.

Working with the Federal Highway Administration, the state removed 130,000 cubic yards of clean soil from Glenville in order to transform the site into restored wetlands to prevent future flooding.

In addition to the vistas, visitors to the park have access to extensive picnic facilities, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, and a playground.
