This is a really nice centrally-located park in Elmhurst. Easy to get to riding bikes, by car, and even walking from points in Elmhurst N of North Ave. The playground has features for kids of all ages, plenty of open space, and plenty of areas to roam around. It is also not too far from libraries and shopping and dining in center city.
A great place to bask in the beauty of nature with gorgeous, seasonal flower arrangements, have a nature walk, and take photos.
Already have bathrooms reopened which allows for a longer visit to the park than most parks that have not yet reopened bathrooms. The playground is a good mix of sun and shade. I forgot to bring sand toys which are great if your kiddos want to dig and build.
Beautiful flowers in the garden to see on a walk. Added brightness to my day.
This was my first visit to Wilder Park, but I hope it isnt my last. There are a number of cultural amenities in the immediate vicinity, the Wilder Mansion, the Conservatory, the Elmhurst Art Museum, and the campus of Elmhurst College directly across the street. There was plenty of available parking with no time limits. The park is within walking distance of a nearby shopping area. I picked up coffee and pizza and met a friend in the park to talk. There were numerous picnic tables to use and everything is well shaded.
I went to school across the street for 4 years and it took 5 years after I went to Elmhurst to enter this building. It is very interesting to be in such a very distinguished building. I cannot speak to other functions this house can hold but I went here for a good friends wedding. It was a very warm, inviting and intimate location to get married. There are two large rooms that can hold 50+ people comfortably. Great place for pictures of any occasion. Besides wedding pictures, prom, homecoming and photo shoots would look great here and the surrounding area.
Great park with old trees and a well manicured lawn. Excellent place to take a stroll through.
Very nice park with a beautiful garden.
Great place for a fall walk.
Love the amount of flowers and just beautiful scenery at this location
A beautiful spot that offers a peaceful, easy feeling.
Nice small park adjacent to a number of interesting things. Elmhurst Art Museum and the Elmhurst library at the North end. Wilder Mansion and conservatory at the south East corner. Elmhurst College on the West side. Also a 5 minute or so walk to the Elmhurst downtown business district. Go have a picnic in the park at Wilder Park.
Well kept quiet park. Great picnic spot.
Hotspot for real life ghosts
A nice place to visit. Has a nice view. I spent 3 hours here when I was making a music video of My Baby by Chris buja.
Went to Ladies Night Out at Wilder Mansion. Was FANTASTIC! My friends and myself had a wonderful time. That was my first time there and we are going to go every year...Other suburbs should have this function for ladies. Had a 10 min massage, out of this world. The food tasting was absolutely delicious....the wine .. well that was great. Several restaurants we are going to go to now. They had great taste samples, delicious
The Wilder Park is open. I was just there.
Love this park. Family oriented. Large green areas. Childrens play lot. Veterans Memorial. Wilder Mansion for weddings. Conservatory. Music on the park summer time.
This is the first time Ive ever been in Elmhurst, and I came to the park and the public library to check out Pokemon Go prospects for Community Day. I have to say both Wilder Park and the library are A+ in my book!At the park I highly recommend not missing the Garden Kaleidoscope in the conservatory!
Outstanding long time local park located near schools, train station & post office. Beautiful, clean & modern. Really enjoy the summer festivals. Easter egg hut is always a big highlight for our community. Get out and enjoy the fresh air in a beautiful location.
Beautiful place for my nieces wedding reception. The food was so good !!
Maybe they can make the green house bigger so they can grow and sell more things. Maybe can grow their own berries to make their own jams.
Nice open area a flower garden enjoy nature
Lovely park and I enjoyed the craft show there.
Nice park with museum and green house. Also it has good play area for kids.
Special Need People ️️️️️️ Great party.Great place..

Wilder Mansion was a beautiful venue for the holiday craft & art show.

Beautiful park! Took my prom photos here and Elmhurst does an amazing job in keeping Wilder Park very clean and pretty plants/flowers.
Big juicy burgers quickly.
Fun playground. For all age kids. Nice park area.
Family friendly and pet friendly. Love going here and watch kids be themselves in the park.
They do a wonderful job of decorating for Memorial Day. Its a nice tribute to all the veterans.
Great place for family photos!
Went to the fine art show and it was very good, lots of artists in a beautiful setting. Will definitely go again.
Attended the wedding reception. Very nice place and staff was very polite also well organized. DJ Rizwan from sound abound was amazing.. music was good, really have a good time
We are from Michigan. Found this park on line two years ago, while visiting GRAND children in February, on an uncharacteristic 60° weekend. We were soo impressed with it, we wrote the info. about it down. The kids shrieked with excitement when we brought them back here. The play ground is AMAZING. The rubberized surface underneath, perfect! Ate in the shade on a picnic table. Used the bathrooms. Enjoyed watching ever so many various groups gather around us, but yet space around us too. Well be back!
Visited this wonderful little park today with my two girls (2 and 4 yrs old). They both loved it. We spent most of our time on the play equipment which was perfect for their age(s). A bigger climber for big kids and a smaller one for the little ones. Nice friendly people with plenty of other kids around. Will go back for sure.
Very nice park. The trees are well maintained and the grounds are well kept.
Great large Park had everything you need for some time outside with your kids. Make sure to bring a bucket and shovel there is a large sand pit too!
Great scenery
Beautiful park. Great things for the kids
Wilder park was great for my daughters wedding!!
Great place for a wedding.
Absolutely beautiful afternoon!
Went to the mansion for a wedding. Nice venue. The park looked nice. We did not have a chance to go in the park
Beautiful public space that nourishes mind, body and soul
Nice place for soccer
Great Park and playground. Its the kids favorite. Large sandbox, bring your own sand toys. Lots of equipment for the above 5 and younger than 5 groups. Usually crowded. Lots of trees offer more shade than other nearby parks.
Lots to do. Big area. Fun for the whole family
It’s a great park.
Nice green Park. Close to downtown Elmhurst.
Fantastic park with lots to do. There a garden, a green house, lots of open space, and a huge play ground.
Very nice park with a full restroom available for use. Lots for the kids to do, and lots of places for adults to sit and still be able to watch the kids play.
Its a great park in the middle of elmhurst. Its close to the library so we usually make it part of our library stop. I think that the park serves peoples needs. I do think that the sandbox could be tended to more or filled. But I think that about all of the sandboxes in the parks weve been to in Elmhurst.
Excellent place to hangout with the kids!
Kids love it here
Great area to be at on a sunny day.....
Great park, was there for a wedding party bridal shoot. The mansion was very nice for a bridal shower.
Good little playground, unfortunately they are loosing museum Elmhurst Park district really messed that up.

Quiet, I was left alone...
Good playground. Easy access to the library. Nice open field. Excellent picnic areas.
Great park in Elmhurst! Surrounding area includes: the conservatory, Wilder mansion, public library, two art museums, wonderful playground equipment, tennis courts and Elmhurst college campus. Just a short walk away from the train station and the local businesses of downtown Elmhurst.
Clean, spacious park for kids to play. Has a sand box, a big open field for kids to run or play ball, bathrooms, and water fountain. The only downside is the parking lot, is a bit small.
Beautiful place for a wedding!
Nice (but small) conservatory. Local gem.
Went here for a craft show and it was really nice.
Great, fun park! Very close to the library. Has a nearby bathroom which is a must with little ones.

I love the conservatory, the garden is very nice in the spring and summer.

A lot of trees, long trail, tennis courts and of course a playground for the kids with bathroom not too far away from eberything the parking lot its not that big, but I belive theres parking on the street( dont quote me on that) ...great for playing Pokemon go alot of poke stops and quite a few gyms all around.
