"Hard wood carved tree inside Granite city Wilson Park with lots of detail and it sits by the baseball diamond another one is being carved just down by the gazebo and being worked on currently as of June 2020. The individual carving them is currently unknown to the public however may be revealed at a later date this sits among all of the other details located inside Wilson Park as well as a fountain that is centrally located directly in between both of the tree carved statues that were originally trees of the park. Also, there is a fountain that has flowers and has a place that’s located inside the park for pictures for family pictures, senior pictures, wedding pictures and a gazebo that you can rent for the same and just reserve that is actually free I believe you just reserve! If there is a price for the gazebo it would be very minimal if any! It’s a white gazebo, very well kept with flowers located directly by the fountain with benches and statues for pictures during a family walk. Come as you are, park entry is free; Gazebo is the only thing that charges a fee for hosting events there where they would cater chairs out to you! Other than that free great community place for the whole family!"
"Wilson park is a nice place for family gatherings, schools, parties, etc."
