Wilkerson Creek Park
Not a verified Marion County or City of Ocala public park. The actual Wilkerson Creek Park is a private amenity inside The Villages community.
Editor’s note (May 2026)
An earlier version of this page described “Wilkerson Creek Park” as a southwest Ocala neighborhood public park with a playground, walking paths, picnic areas, and a natural creek setting. That description could not be verified. There is no public park called “Wilkerson Creek Park” in the Marion County Parks & Recreation directory or the City of Ocala parks facility directory. The actual Wilkerson Creek Park is a private community amenity within The Villages — it is restricted to residents and registered guests of The Villages, not a public park open to general visitors. The page has been rewritten to reflect this accurately. Links below point to verified public parks in the Ocala area.
