About Wilson Park

At 74 acres, this sprawling public park has no shortage of amenities to keep you and your family busy all year round, whether you're looking to recreate, gather, exercise, or spend time outdoors! Wilson Park is conveniently nestled amongst Granite City's residential neighborhoods, a plus for nearby families, and features a connection to the regional trail system. It is home to several playgrounds, an outdoor swimming pool, ice rink, tennis and pickleball courts, baseball fields, a skate park, a paved walking trail, and so much more.

Set foot in this lively park and you'll quickly realize that not only are the on-site amenities impressive in their size and numbers but so too in quality. The formal garden at Wilson Park is one such example, with its wide array of plants, decorative water features, pathways, and seating accommodations. For those visiting for the first time, exploring all that the park has to offer is as easy as hopping onto the looped, shaded walking trail that intersects and/or connects to most attractions.
