West Union

For a small town, we are proud of our little park. It has a very nice ball diamond that accommodates both baseball and softball. The ball diamond area has restrooms and each side has a small play area. On the south side of the park there are two shelters with picnic tables, sand volleyball court, lighted tennis courts, a stage and restroom facilities. There are both water and electricity available at the shelters. Some of the events at the park are the Ruritan Easter Egg Hunt for the young and old, a large 4th of July event with fireworks, and the Ruritan Fall Festival which includes a wonderful catfish dinner served by Earl's. There are also church activities, reunions, and other events at the park. Future plans are more restrooms, a paved walking path around the park, and two large perennial rock gardens. Our goal is to provide a healthy and safe place to enjoy all outdoor activities. The park is located 12 miles south of Marshall on IL Route One. At West Union, turn east at the flashing light to the first block, turn right and follow road for about 3/4 mile. The park is on the east side.
