Wylie Park
The votes are in and Wylie Park has been named No. 2 in the Nation! "When judges read the nomination for Wylie Park and saw photos, they knew right away that it definitely belonged on the list of our country's Top 10 Lawns for Family Fun'" said Anita Fisher, Briggs & Stratton marketing communications manager. With more than 210 acres of grassland, a myriad of recreational opportunities are available, including camping, picnicking, playground areas, swimming beach, miniature golf, softball, volleyball, horseshoes and miles of rambling recreational trails.
Aberdeen is proud to announce that Wylie Park was awarded the 2010 George S. Mickelson Great Service Award for their exemplary job of exceeding visitors' expectations in customer service. For more information on Wylie Park, call the Aberdeen Parks and Recreation Department at (605) 626-7015 or visit their website.
