One of our City’s most scenic parks is also our most historic, with a rebuilt War of 1812 fort site, Zumwalt's Fort, and the restored Heald Home (circa 1884), all overlooking beautiful Lake Whetsel. Enjoy picnicking, playing on the playground, teeing off on "The Fort" disc golf course, and walking through this shady, 48-acre park.

In the 1970s, a spring on the property was dammed to create Lake Whetsel. The 3.5-acre lake was named for Parks Board member and early champion of the lake, Ed Whetsel. In 2019, the lake was emptied, dredged and restocked; a new walking path around the lake was added, as well.

Do not feed the waterfowl! Regular feeding causes poor nutrition, pollution, spread of disease, unnatural behavior, overcrowding and delayed migration. Thank you for your cooperation!
