👍👍 This is a beautiful park, unfortunately it's recently became my home though I'm sure it's illegal to live here it's where I feel safe. There is a large community of homeless people here. They are not dangerous people, just folks that have hit a bump in the road and are trying to get back on there fe...

    Still building the trails but the dogs had a great time! Edit: Trails are done! Very nice connectors to the Camp Chase Trail. It was my first time 9n it, but it was clean and safe! Definitely will go on this again.

    This is a beautiful park, unfortunately it's recently became my home though I'm sure it's illegal to live here it's where I feel safe. There is a large community of homeless people here. They are not dangerous people, just folks that have hit a bump in the road and are trying to get back on there feet. Our city has failed us as a whole. I can't understand why there are so many homeless people yet we have abandoned buildings, apts, and houses all over the city not being occupied. Maybe one day I will sit on a board where I can voice my opinion and help put an end to this matter until then I will call Wilson Park home.

    Nice place to get on the bike path, could be a vit nicer. We went there the day after July 4th. There were two humans passed out in the shelter and a scooter left in the middle of the bike path. Firework remains om the path. It was obvious this park needed patrolled by the police. Families and kids don't need to see passed out party people. The state of Ohio should not have legalized Fireworks, I have seen such trash left over from them. People whom supposedly love the country in celebration leaving trash doesn't make sense.

    I was there for the big reveal of the "Great American Rail Trail" May 8th. What a waste of time, and I'm retired! The Park has a nice picnic shelter, parking lot, and two port-o-lets, though. No running water restrooms.

    Great place to stop on the Ohio to Erie trail. There's a water fountain and bottle filling station and a covered shelter with tables so you can take a break from riding. Volunteers keep it it clean and tidy.

    They have done a lot of work to this area in the past couple of years and it gets better all the time. There's a great bike trail that leads to this park and they have done a lot of clearing around the area of homeless camps and have cleared out some of the woods and it is really looking great. They also have put in soccer fields for children which and added plus for this side of town.

  • 4/5 David V. 3 years ago on Google
    You have to access it from Sullivant Rd because the Wilson Rd bridge is closed for construction. At first it wasn’t clear where the bike path was but it’s accessed by the sheltered area. Besides that it’s pretty much a wide open field.
