Parkwood Mall opened in 1973 along U.S. 301. A Cyberstation arcade operated near Belk in the late 1990s, featuring Tekken 3 and Jurassic Park shooter cabinets popular with Wilson youth-league teams.
The unit closed by 2010 during the center’s partial redevelopment, but Eastern North Carolina Facebook groups still share snapshots of its neon “CYBER” letters glowing over black-tile floors.
