    Beautiful park! Great playgrounds, fairy garden and castle, tennis courts, gazebos, walking trails, fountains, swings, and even a city pool. Lots of trees and shade and near downtown. Some areas currently under construction.

    Lush green park, with a creek inside. Wonderful, clean outdoor for adults, kids, and pets, ideal for summer afternoon/ evenings. Ample parking spots available. I visited it on Sunday evening. It was fully packed. There is a running/ walking trail, pick if benches, swimming pool, tennis court, basketball court etc. There is a castle and children’s play area. I have seen so many people enjoying warm and heathy sunshine outdoor. If you live here in Fayetteville, it’s a must visit park.

    Point 7 is such a interesting bit of Fayetteville. One of my favorite places as a child and now my teenage children have the same fond memories. The informational placard is worth a read. It has an interesting story of how it got here and what's really amazing is how they have incorporated structural repairs over time while still keeping the original whimsy and even expanding the magic. Also there's a Dawn Redwood there that has always been my daughters favorite tree to climb and is just beautiful.

    This park used to be my Children, my husband, and my favorite. Once construction began awhile back however that was over. My daughter loves the swings but they are no longer available, because of construction and it just never seems to end. Honestly it never seems to change at all.

    The new play tower was a big hit for my 3 year old grandson (even though it says for ages 5-12).

    Such a cool park! Our 5 year old loved the animal sculptures and the 2 small playgrounds. Our dogs enjoyed the paved walking trail. Beautiful scenery with lots of plants, flowers and shade along the trail. Highly recommend!

    Well maintained park with a Fantasy version of playgrounds. Super cool to have a small creek run through a playground. Excellent landscaping as well. Eye catching art installations.

    Great place to take the little ones to on a sunny day. They have two play areas for big kids and toddlers. I love the toddler personally because I have two under 3. It is clean and they have swings for all ages.

    Had a great time with service dogs of distinction this past Saturday at Wilson park! The park is well maintained and is always a delight to visit :-)

    I can tell you I frequent the park on the regular . My daughter & I walk together , we would sled down the south end where the hill is the steepest & take our dog Rocco to chase his tennis ball in the baseball field & also my daughter would swim in the pool on summer break w/ her friends . From my daughter in her stroller to her career in The Marines & Starbucks we have always enjoyed our communities park . 20 years . Our park people have made incredibly beautiful additions as well . Just really thankful it's there & grateful for all the happy memories .

    Clean and beautiful. Nice playground for kids, has jogging trail around, area for picnic and more. Very peaceful in the middle of the neighbourhood and not far from downtown

    Awesome park! Plenty of activities for littles and bigger kids. (Music, giant rock to climb, find the animal etc) Current toilet situation is porta potties. Shame about the enormous dog poo my son tried to pick up but that’s not the parks fault! Was worth writing this for those parenting moments that everyone needs to hear.

    Beautiful, quiet little park. Nice and peaceful for a pleasant stroll or quiet sit down. Love all the plants and flowers. The benches, castle, and bridge are all beautiful, just need a refreshing coat of paint to brighten them up.

  • 5/5 Hristo G. 9 months ago on Google
    The Best park ever. Very clean, with plenty of things to do. Great place to take your kids to play.

    My favorite park to go to. Close to where I live, so it's convenient. Also very dog friendly, so we go for walks there a couple times a week. Also love that I can play tennis and rollerblade here. Fun park for kids too! And the wizard area is super awesome. The flowers and trees are super pretty, so can enjoy the natural beauty as well.

    We have always loved Wilson Park. It is a fun, quirky park with much to offer our family. It is maintained well, except for one foot bridge. Hopefully, it will get replaced soon. The sidewalk trail also makes for a beautiful and decent-sized walk.

    The kids loved it! So much to do & it was not packed with people. We loved the little creek & bridge & the kids loved all the slides & swings. Also, bring your tennis rackets!
