Vintage Edition
One of the most photographed places in Fayetteville, the “Castle” and accompanying spring-fed pond add a touch of whimsy to Wilson Park. The Castle features an iron door with a Dogwood flower on it, from which emerges an active natural spring. This spring once fed into “Trent’s Pond,” which served as a local swimming hole until the municipal pool was built. Originally there was a concrete enclosure located over the spring, but it was deemed unsafe in the 1970s. A contest was held to present ideas for a new structure that would enclose the spring, and enhance the park. Artist and Sculptor Frank Williams won the contest with a scale model of what would eventually be known as "The Castle."
