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.

Pleasant Ridge Park, Fairview Heights

Website: https://www.cofh.org/facilities/facility/details/Pleasant-Ridge-Park-3

Playground Ground Cover: Wood chips

Pleasant Ridge Park, in the northern part of the city, is the largest of the two community parks with 95 acres. The park offers wintertime sledding. A bit of very early Fairview Heights history is represented in the park in the form of a 2-story log cabin, a structure built about 1850 by the Kinsella family. Our Parks and Recreation page has more information on the history of the Kinsella Log Cabin. Other facilities in the park are 4 picnic pavilions, a playground, 2 restrooms, and open space for passive recreation. 




The playground is smaller, but it is enclosed with a wooden fence. The play structure is 2 stories with several slides, a bubble window, a zip line, and a bouncing bench.
