Wilson is a huge park and has pickleball, baseball/ softball diamonds, trails, a basketball court, an ice rink, picnic shelters, picnic tables, playgrounds, a skate park, tennis courts, concessions, a swimming pool, restrooms, a gazebo, and a prairie/ songbird site. 






As you can see the big playground is right next to the pool. 




This playground is older but it's huge, with a ton of things to do, including slides, a rock wall, a bridge, and tons of climbing bars. 





There are 2 baby swings, 2 expression swings, and 4 sling swings.






The skate park is a very good one with lots of ramps, rails, and curbs. 















Here you can find a tic-tac-toe board, a steering wheel, and a gear board.
