Nice park to have a picnic

Review №2

The park is clean, has covered picnic areas with attached grills. Theres equipment for kids to have fun with and plenty of places for more sporting activities. The road is safe and a good place to walk. My only real complaint are the restrooms, last time I had to use it there were no stall doors.

Very nice place to take your kids or friends to and have a picnic or a get together or take a walk.

They really need more picnic tables. Plenty of shelters with tables but usually full. Theres plenty of shade. Just need some more tables. Also need a walking and bike area so people are not always in the roadway.

A beautiful well maintained Park in historic Centralia Illinois. One of the great draws of the park is locomotive 2500 of the Illinois Central railroad and its accompanying caboose. There is also a memorial there that is dedicated to the lives of Illinois Central employees that were lost during world war II and other memorials to other railroad employees and their dedication to the ICRR. Although I could not find any markers indicating such, it is important to note that the caboose behind the locomotive was actually built in the Centralia shops and was one of thousands of cars that was constructed in Centralia for the Illinois Central railroad and roamed our country for many years.The men and women who worked in the car shops and constructed these cars deserve to be remembered as some of the unsung heroes of the transportation industry and I hope that you just pause and remember the contributions they and their families made that yet continue to enrich all our lives.

Clean, safe, family friendly. Nearby shopping and fast food. Playground, nice public pool, tennis court, ball field, sand volleyball. The circular 1 mile one-way paved road is great for walking or bikes. Large beautifully maintained historic city park. Check out the old locomotive on display.

Loved seeing the old Train. Beautiful restoration of it. Its a good park. Has restrooms (closed in winter), also 2 older fighters from the United States Air Force. (Memorial). I think there is a tennis court, and a small play ground for kids. Lots of room to park and rest or take a walk around and stretch the legs. You gotta see it at least once in a lifetime.

Beautiful place has amazing play equipment for children if there was a place you would want to bring tour children for free for a day of fun, this would be one of the places suggested for doing so. Great views and a lot of fun. Nice trail for walking and exercising as well.
