Wonderful Wilson Park in Torrance CA
Torrance has an abundance of great parks but none really compare with the features and amenities of Wilson Park. It’s a sprawling patch of beautiful green open space in the heart of Torrance and across the street from the complexes of Plaza Del Amo. Located at 2200 Crenshaw Blvd 90501 the aminities and facilities are as diverse as they come. About the only thing it’s missing is an aquatics center.

- Horseshoe Courts
- Sand Volleyball Courts
- Children’s Playground
- .91 mile Fitness Course

The park is just amazing with ample parking, playground areas, incredible and unique sports facilities, fields and more.
