Willson's Woods Park History

Date Acquired:  1924

Acres:  23

Background:  Willson’s Woods is one of the oldest parks in the County Parks system. It was named for the former owner of the land, Charles Hill Willson of the Willson & Adams Lumber Co. The park is characterized by a beautiful bathhouse set along the local road that bisects the park. The bathhouse and one million-gallon pool were completed in 1928. The two-story bathhouse was designed in an English Tudor revival style and is presented in a striking mixture of brick, stone, wood and stucco. The grand entrance is marked by a large arch with stone voussoirs and two side portals.
