Caseyville Township Sports Complex, Caseyville




Location: 10001 Bunkum Rd., Fairview Heights, IL 62208

Website: https://caseyvilletwp.org/

Playground Ground Cover: Rubber chips

This playground was moved from O'Fallon in 2024. It's up a little hill from the parking lot and covered pavilion. While Caseyville Township has its own administrative building, the sports complex is operated by the City of Fairview Heights Parks and Recreation Department. The complex is sometimes mentioned in connection with Caseyville Township because the two are geographically close and both serve the surrounding community. It's a little confusing that this is technically in Fairview Heights, but it's called Caseyville Sports Complex. 




There is 1 baby swing and 5 sling swings. 


The play structure is large and has a ton of bars and poles, slides, a bridge, a tunnel, a rock wall, a chain climber, and a geodome.

Website: https://www.belleville.net/Facilities/Facility/Details/Citizens-Park-3

Playground Ground Cover: Pea Gravel

This is the city of Belleville's largest park at 45 acres. It is a highly recreational park with two large lighted softball diamonds and a first-class baseball field named for Whitey Herzog, which serves as the home field for the American Legion and Althoff High School baseball teams.
In addition to the ball diamonds at Citizens Park, the park also offers BMX bicycle ramps for the daredevils, along with other recreational amenities. Citizens is also a very nice place to have a quiet picnic during lunch. Two modular playgrounds for children and three picnic shelters are available for family picnics.





The play structure is older but still in good condition. It has several slides, monkey bars, a rock wall, a tunnel, a tic-tac-toe board, and bars and poles for climbing. 







Covered pavilion next to the playground. 






The new Challenge Course is cool. See if you can complete it and how fast you can do it!
