Another one of my favorite very local parks! Great for anyone. Mile wooded and open trail that is easy to both walk and bike! There is a public bathroom, an area for kids to play, a baseball field, picnic areas and more! This park is only 3.3 miles from my place. Less time to this park than Killen's Pond State Park, although Killens is just a mile or two further

I’ve personally have always enjoyed Ruby Tuesdays as a franchised restaurant. Salad bar is usually stocked well and fresh.

OMG! This is the best pizza I have ever had in my life. The ingredients are sooo fresh while not being cooked to death that you typically find in pizza places. You pay a price, so if you want to splurge on really good pizza, go for it!!

Neighborhoods
Well, hey, it's just a greta place to visit. There is Dover Mall. It's small but still enough to give one something to do. There is a movie theater in it. Major stores like Victorias Secret, Macy's, Boscovs, Dicks Sporting Goods. A lot of cute shops in downtown Dover which I think is a must see.

Milton
Diners
Milford Diner has a habit of being open and then closing down, so I currently don’t recommend this diner. On the other hand, Westside Restaurant is my favorite local diner and IMO the best I’ve had even in the Lewes and Rehoboth area. I enjoy eggs anytime of the day. I must say they have the best omelettes and breakfast potatoes. Even their bacon is great!
