Stango Park
Stango Park is located along Kings Highway, at the corner of Adams Street and serves as the gateway to Lewes. The park is home to the Rollins Community Center, Lewes Public Library and the Lewes in Bloom Childrens Learning Garden.
This park was designed as Lewes’ arboretum and has spreading trees forming an arbor over the carpets of grass. It is the perfect place on a sunny day to get a book and relax in the shade. Named for former Mayor Al Stango, twelve-term Mayor of Lewes retiring from office in 1992. Mayor Stango will be remembered for his forceful personality and his role during Lewes’ transition from a mostly blue-collar working town to a city driven by upward-spiraling real estate.
The garden beds (Old Bed) start at the bicycle path crossing at the west end and run east to alongside the Childrens Learning Garden (New Bed). Looking south from the garden beds you will see the remnants of the former Lewes railroad with a bright red caboose on display. Across the tracks are the Lewes Public Library which has its own garden page.
