In the News: Rodney Reservoir Park Opens to Public

Rodney Reservoir Park Grand Opening

The City of Wilmington, Delaware hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for Rodney Reservoir Park on October 8, 2025.

Rodney Reservoir Park, located at a city highpoint, was once a reservoir and public park, but was closed in the 1990s due to safety concerns. The City engaged the design team, led by Hinge Collective, to create a plan for the park based on community input.

Meliora was engaged by Hinge Collective to provide civil engineering, water resources planning and grant recommendations for the Rodney Reservoir Park.
