Formally known as Pebble Ridge Park, James Wunderlich Park is located off of the intersection of Design Drive and Craftsmen Drive. The park was renamed in October of 2021 after James Wunderlich, who served on the Greenville Town Board from 1967 – 1997 and as Town Chair from 1971 – 1997.
James Wunderlich Park may seem like just another small neighborhood park but with 13 acres, it has a lot to offer! The playground was designed for kids of all ages and has equipment to climb, slide, hang and swing. Next to the playground there is a picnic area and plenty of large open play space. A beautiful prairie overlooks the retention pond and on street parking allows for easy access to all areas of the park.
Walking trails run throughout the park and provide many different views. You can walk through a wooded area, part of the prairie and along the retention pond. In August of 2019, approximately 1,600 feet of 8 foot wide trail was paved to provide a cleaner, safer surface for users. Prior to paving, the trail was all gravel and frequently washed out, creating low spots. The paved segment branches off to align with both entrances of the woods on either side of the prairie. The wooded section of the trail remains gravel. The whole trail is approximately one half mile.
