Tubman Garrett Riverfront Park

The Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park is a 2.4 acre gathering place where the city formally meets the river. The Park was named for Thomas Garrett who lived in Wilmington’s nearby Quaker Hill neighborhood, where slaves traveling the Underground Railroad often found refuge, and for fellow abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Today it serves as a place for celebration and festivals for Riverfront visitors.
