Wilson Park

The Story Behind the Green

Wilson Park gets its name from Costa Mesa Mayor Robert M. Wilson, who served on the Planning Commission that created the "green belt" running through Costa Mesa. Nestled in a residential neighborhood, this park has become a popular neighborhood space over the years.

What You'll Find Here

Spread across 3 acres of well-kept grounds, Wilson Park offers plenty of open grassy spaces great for throwing a frisbee, having a picnic, or simply lounging with a good book. If you're feeling more active, head to the volleyball courts - just remember, they're available on a first-come basis, so you might want to arrive early on sunny weekends.

When nature calls, you can find restrooms conveniently located near the covered picnic area, where tables await your outdoor feast. There's also a gazebo that provides a shady spot for gathering with friends or family.

Got kids in tow? The playground equipment will keep the little ones entertained while you relax nearby. The park's well-maintained pathways meander through the grounds, meant for a leisurely stroll.

Wilson Park is conveniently located - you're just a short walk from shopping areas, restaurants, and other local services, making it easy to combine park time with other errands.

Part of the Neighborhood

Wilson Park is well-integrated with the surrounding neighborhood. The Wilson Park Townhomes development practically considers the park as an extension of their backyard. Some townhome residents have gated access directly to the park.

Bringing Your Four-Legged Friends

While not officially designated as a dog park, Wilson Park welcomes your furry companions. You'll find pet waste stations across the grounds, with convenient poop bag dispensers along the walking paths. It's a thoughtful touch that makes spending time here with your dog both enjoyable and responsible.
