This park.is my haven! I've been coming here more often since Covid began . It is so beautiful and serene. I love how it's natural characteristics change though out the seasons. I go there for my water therapy by sitting in front of Pelham Lake and the waterfall. Gorgeous and therapuetic.

I always enjoy my visits to Wilson's Woods Park. Nature surrounds the land and the river passes through. There are choices to walk/jog the trails, barbecue, picnic, fishing, exercising, walk your dog, watch the sun set 😀 , bird watch and even swimming. The staff maintenance is 👍🏾 on point. They keep the grounds clean and safe. Thank you...I clean up after myself and keep enjoying the space.❤️Its worth the visit 💯

It's great for group picnic, reunions or even a small walk in the park. You have a grill that you can use once you rent the space and a play area for kids...the pool has been closed since covid but hopefull it will reopen for the summer 2023
