Wheeling Park is a 406 acres (1.64 km2) park located in Wheeling, West Virginia. The park first opened in 1925. The park was originally only open during the warmer months. In 1959, the addition of an ice rink turned the park into a year-round facility.

Wheeling Park High School, which was named after the park, is located adjacent to the hilltop area of the park.
