Colter Road, Delaware City, DE 19706

Fort DuPont is a thoughtfully master-planned waterfront district transforming the historic Fort DuPont campus into a vibrant community along the Delaware River, transforming the 219-acre historic site into a vibrant waterfront community. Plans include new homes, shops, and gathering spaces while preserving and adapting many of the former military buildings that date back to the 19th century. Residents, businesses, and visitors will enjoy a unique setting along the Delaware River and the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal where historic character and modern development come together.

Situated beside Fort DuPont's historic parade ground, this area may have been used for similar activities. The parade field itself was a focal point of the fort, hosting military drills and assemblies as well as football games, baseball games, and horseback riding demonstrations.
