Wilcox Park

Like a walk in the park, this place is relaxing. Dog walkers and picnickers enjoy the trees, grass and fountains at this gem in the heart of downtown Westerly.

A stroll through an "ancient" park is an experience that is becoming difficult to find. This nook of older trees has made a morning walk delightful. The gentleman playing a wooden flute near the man-made pond had a calming note to the hectic week of the past. The walk was long enough and short enough to be just right. The name tags on the trees also made choosing the plant for future endeavors. The pond at the liberty has been marked by someone who may have no or just some respect for others' enjoyments, the down side is that taking a marker to something that is not owned by you is disrespectful.

A beautiful day in the park - what more can you ask for? We had a lovely stroll and stopped to sit and admire the beauty of the place for a bit. Relaxation achieved.

My visits to Wilcox Park have been enjoyable. The park has always been clean, grounds well kept, and feels safe. While one could jog here for exercise, I recommend checking out the nearby library, then relaxing by a fountain with a book or friend, or take a walk and the pause at the monuments to reflect upon some of the history of our nation, and the local area of Westerly, Rhode Island.

Great place to stay cool on a warm day. Enjoyed walking around the park, trees and plants are labeled

Our local park is really a gem. Really well maintained, nice to visit year round, and lots of events in the warm weather.

Wilcox Park is Westerly's Gem. It's a beautiful place to walk and full of historical information and sites. Be sure to stop by the Westerly Library as well if they are open. You won't be disappointed.
