OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS REVIEWS AND PICS

Gilbert Willis Park Wixom

Gilbert Willis Park has a lot going for it considering it is just a neighborhood park. It features well-manicured baseball fields, picturesque gazebo, sport courts (basketball, tennis, in-line skating & court hockey). The indoor restroom facilities are convenient. The rolling, scenic grounds are well-maintained. The park has small playscape (tot lot) that is surrounded by picnic tables. The playscape is smallish, but the scenery and location near both pavilions and the baseball fields is nice. The sport courts and playgrounds are conveniently situated near the center of the park allowing for noise to be contained so any park activities likely won’t spur any noise complaints from the surrounding neighborhoods.

  1. Hello,
    I’m trying to assemble as much information as I can, about Gilbert C. Willis, including any an all regarding his merits, which earned him the honor of having this fine park, named for him.
    I am his nephew, and am assembling this information for his remaining ancestors…
    Please advise of any costs.
    With Respect,

    T. Young
