Josephine Fountain

The named memorial fountain and garden landmark near North Park Drive in Brandywine Park.

Use legal park parking near North Park Drive or the river lot and follow event controls. No dedicated fountain parking lot is documented, so route to the exact pin rather than the zoo entrance.

Outdoor viewing follows Wilmington State Parks access, currently listed daily from 8:00 a.m. to sunset. Water operation, horticultural work, events, and maintenance can vary independently.

No destination-specific restroom is documented at the fountain. Brandywine Zoo restrooms are inside a separately ticketed facility and follow zoo hours, so confirm another open facility if a restroom is essential.

No separate admission is listed for viewing the outdoor fountain. Brandywine Zoo, programs, permits, and ticketed events nearby may charge independently.

A developed park approach reaches the fountain area, but no reviewed operator source documents a fully step-free route or the fountain's edge conditions. Confirm the exact approach if grades or surface transitions are a concern.

Keep dogs on a leash no longer than six feet outside Wilmington's marked off-leash areas, remove waste, and keep animals out of planted beds and the fountain basin.

The fountain is a brief outdoor landmark stop rather than a supervised water-play feature. Keep children out of the basin and combine it with a separately planned park or zoo visit.

Do not promise that the fountain will be running or flowers will be in bloom. Check park notices for storms, maintenance, events, or seasonal landscape work before making it the purpose of a trip.

Use DART First State's current trip planner for the exact destination, such as Brandywine Zoo or North Park Drive, because the park spans both sides of the creek and several approaches.
