Gwinhurst Civic Association is a 100% volunteer run organization whose mission is to foster the betterment of our community. The association represents 5 subdivisions in northern New Castle: Gwinhurst, Perkins Run, Clayton Place, Greenmount, and Hillendale
This represents over 650 residential properties.
The association is solely responsible for snow removal for this entire area, as Delaware’s Dept. of Transportation (DelDOT) does not plow nor salt residential roads.
Other initiatives we have led with our county and state agencies include road repairs/re-pavings throughout the community, storm drainage, transfer ownership of paper streets, transfer of ownership of Prior Road to DelDOT in order to find a permanent solution to the road repairs necessary there, and lastly, overdue park maintainance of Gwinhurst Park.
We also aid in the advertising of an annual community-wide yard sale event every May.
Meeting Schedule
The civic association meets quarterly from 7-8pm at the Holly Oak Methodist Church at the corner of Philadelphia Pike and West Holly Oak Rd (1511 Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington, DE 19809)
2024’s meeting dates are: February 5, May 6, August 5, November 4th
Please note, that we used to meet at the VFW on Philadelphia Pike on Thursdays, but the VFW closed. So we have moved our meeting venue to the church AND moved the meeting to Monday nights.

These dues allow members to vote on issues and hold board positions. The dues pay for the association’s operations including this website, postal mailings, snow removal, and other community benefit programs we wish to implement.
We reduced our annual dues from $25 per household down to $10 per household for 2024!
Each household should send their $10 annual payment to 1903 Lincoln Ave, Edgemoor, DE 19809-1430. Please make the check payable to Gwinhurst Civic Association. Thank you!
We also introduced a new digital only payment option this year. Please pay $10.30 to cover the transaction fee that Venmo imposes. https://www.venmo.com/u/Gwinhurst-DE
