Named after Thomas T. Wilson, owner of the Nashville Elite Giants.  This park opened in 1929.

Tom Wilson, an African American nightclub operator, founded the Nashville Elite Giants either in 1918 or 1921. It played as an independent club until 1926, when the team became a member of the NSL. In 1930 Nashville joined the NNL, and Wilson moved the Giants into Wilson Park, a four-thousand-seat stadium located in Trimble Bottom
