Wolcott Park — Attraction in Newington

Wolcott Park is a fantastic recreational spot that has quickly become one of my favorite places to spend time outdoors. The park features 6 to 8 well-maintained pickleball courts, which are almost always lively with friendly players of all levels. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, it’s a great place to jump into a game or practice your skills.

In addition to pickleball, the park also has 4 full-size tennis courts that are in excellent condition. The courts are surrounded by trees and greenery, offering a peaceful and scenic backdrop while you play.

Love this park, but my granddaughter and I were very disappointed that the splash pad was being repaired in the summer time. It prevented so many people from staying and enjoying the park that day.

No trees for any shade in the playground area at all. Without the splash pad it is in unusable in Summer. Repairs should have been done in fall and or early spring. Unfortunately, poor planning hampered a great day for us and many other visitors...
