West
Union
For a small town, we are proud of
our little park.
The park has a

well-maintained
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. Water and electricity are
available at the shelters.
Some of the events at the park include the
Ruritan Easter Egg Hunt for the young and old, a large Fourth 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. There are future
plans for
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.
