Blades: what to know before you rent
Blades sits on the Nanticoke River beside Seaford, and its public life centers on the water and a small town park. The Nanticoke River Public Marine Park and the BEDCO marina draw boaters and event crowds, while Blades Park and its pavilion host community gatherings. The marina page lists restrooms among its services but no showers, which is where a temporary unit helps on regatta days, park clean-ups and busy boating weekends.
Confirm with Town Hall which area of Blades Park or the Marine Park may hold a trailer, and check marina access with the dock master, who is on site Thursday to Sunday in season.

What Blades sites rent trailers for
Marina and boating weekends
The marina lists restrooms but not showers, so a shower or combination trailer can serve visiting boaters or a rally during the April to October season.
Park rentals and clean-ups
Blades Park and Hardin Hall are booked through Town Hall, and a trailer can support larger family events or town clean-ups that outgrow the facilities on site.
Planning around the Marine Park and marina
The Nanticoke River Public Marine Park and the BEDCO marina sit together on the river and share the busiest season, April through October, when the dock master is on duty Thursday to Sunday. The marina page lists restrooms but does not list showers, so groups staying aboard or attending a rally often need more than the permanent facilities offer. A combination trailer covers both needs, and an ADA stall with a ramp keeps the unit usable for all guests. Contact the town and BEDCO about where a unit may sit before booking delivery.
Regatta day and park events
The Recycled Cardboard Boat Regatta has been presented by the Town of Blades with the DNREC Division of Watershed Stewardship's Reclaim Our River program, with partners including the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance and Abbott's Mill Nature Center. In 2023 sign-in began at 11 a.m. and races at 12:30 p.m., so a trailer should be in place before mid-morning. Because current dates were not confirmed, organizers should check with the town for the next edition and settle placement with Town Hall at the same time.

Local requirements in Blades
Blades handles its own zoning, so Town Hall is the first call. The town's documents page offers a building permit application, sign permit application and the Land Development Ordinance, whose Article 7 covers use regulations. It lists no special-event, tent or temporary-trailer form, so whether a rented unit needs approval should be confirmed with the office before delivery. A Sussex County building permit is required after any town permit. Park pavilion and Hardin Hall use is reserved through Town Hall.
- Park and Hardin Hall reservations go through Town Hall.
- A Sussex County building permit follows any town permit.

Blades rental questions
Who do I ask about putting a restroom trailer at Blades Park?
Blades Park is town property, and the town site says to come into Town Hall to schedule an event there. Park pavilion and Hardin Hall reservation forms are posted on the documents page. Whether a trailer needs separate approval is not spelled out online, so ask the office when booking.
Does the Blades marina have showers for visitors?
The BEDCO/Nanticoke River Marina page lists restrooms, laundry, pump-out, fuel and a launch ramp, but it does not mention showers. The dock master is on duty Thursday through Sunday from April 1 to October 31, and by appointment from November through March.
When is the cardboard boat regatta held?
The 2023 edition, billed as the eighth annual, ran on a Saturday in early August at the Nanticoke River Public Marine Park. A fixed yearly date was not published, so current timing should be checked with the Town of Blades or DNREC.
