At the recommendation of Frederick Law Olmsted, the Board instead focused first on establishing the nearby Brandywine Park.

It contains a steel cylinder water tank, surrounded by a staircase which leads to the highest level of the tower.

On the highest level, large stone arches allow for a view of the park and the Brandywine River below.

The stone bench was constructed in 1905 and provides a scenic view of the Brandywine in a spot which was one of Canby's favorites.

The second memorial is a statue of Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont near the park's main entrance.
