Wakema Park is a modest 5 acre park located in the City of Center Point, IA. The park sports great facilities which overshadow the small acreage. A tremendous new playground complex was installed in 2008, and the park is home to the Wakema Park Lodge, with adjacent large hard-surfaced play area which is lighted for evening use (w/basketball hoops). What a great location for family celebrations, school or day camp events, youth events, or corporate retreats/training opportunities
