DNREC names new superintendents at three Delaware state parks
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control recently announced three new superintendents at Delaware State Parks – Tyeast Amankwah at Auburn Valley State Park, Diana Marsteller at Brandywine Creek State Park and Lindsey Goebel at Delaware Seashore State Park.
Goebel steps into her lead role from Trap Pond State Park, where she was most recently the assistant superintendent. She started working with the Division of Parks and Recreation as a seasonal naturalist at both Killens Pond and Trap Pond state parks. She previously worked in a civilian position with Denton Police Department in Maryland and held numerous roles in outdoor recreation, including as a camp specialist with the Maryland Park Service and kayaking guide for the Assateague Explorer. Goebel earned a bachelor’s degree in recreation and park management from Frostburg State University and is a graduate of the National Association of State Park Directors Leadership School. She also received several awards from the division, including Outstanding Achiever, Outstanding Team and the prestigious Mohr Jennings Award.
Goebel is now responsible for all daily operations at Delaware Seashore State Park, including supervision, scheduling and evaluation of staff; coordination of maintenance and visitor service programs; development and continuation of relationships with partners, adjacent landowners and community groups; and fiscal, programmatic and infrastructure planning.
Delaware State Parks welcome 8 million guests annually and have been selected as the best-managed state parks system in the nation on multiple occasions.
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control protects and manages the state’s natural resources, protects public health, provides outdoor recreational opportunities and educates Delawareans about the environment. The DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation oversees more than 26,000 acres in 17 state parks and the Brandywine Zoo. For more information, go to dnrec.delaware.gov.
