Ferrol Gehrig donated this 1.9-acre site in Mulberry East subdivision on Chestnut Street in 1978. The park includes a playground and a basketball goal.

In 2024, Wadsworth Park playground underwent a renovation. Additions include a Palmetto Saucer wing for ages 2-12 and a Nucleus multi-component play feature for ages five-12

It has a spiral slide, climbers, a tower platform, and monkey bars, and it caters to children ages 5-12. Playground turf was also installed.
