Walcott has five parks with various amenities! Throughout the summer, Little League and the Tri County Men’s Fastpitch Softball League utilize Victory and Wescott Parks. Games can usually be found at both parks most nights throughout the week. Many tournaments are played in Walcott including the Iowa Area Fastpitch tournament in June.

The Park Board is composed of five residents of the City of Walcott who are appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the Council, for overlapping five-year terms. The Park and Recreation Board meets as needed on the first Monday of each month at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall and is chaired by Mike Clayton. Other board members are: Brian Mengler, Lisa Hagen, Kelly Quick, and Becky Avise.
