Situated across the street from the Wilmington Public Library, Galvin Park is one of the City of Wilmington's community parks. Donated by Mrs. Brady Galvin, this park is always popular during the winter when families gather to enjoy sledding, snowboarding, and gathering in the shelter house for hot chocolate. During the spring and summer, the playground is a popular spot for area children, and the shelter house is reserved for picnics and meetings. Basketball courts at the bottom of the hill are one of the Park's most popular features. Galvin Park is the site of the former Smith Place School, and the stone arch from the entrance is an architectural relic placed at the top of the hill alongside a commemorative plaque highlighting the history of the school. A Gazebo on top of the hill was donated by the Jaycees as a memorial for two of their members who died in a plane crash. This Park also has many trees, a playground, and a bench dedicated to former City residents and noted by plaques.
