About Lewes Canalfront Park

Set on the Lewes waterfront, this park serves as a gathering spot for both residents and visitors. The grounds have drawn people for centuries, dating back to early Dutch settlers who built homes and launched boats on the site. Today it functions as a community hub where visitors can unwind near the water and join events held throughout the year. Marina and boat slip inquiries are handled separately through the city dock office, and amenity questions go to the Parks and Recreation department.
