From the website: "Orchard Park is a beautiful 24-acre municipal park located along Orchard Drive and the South Service Road of I-44. Orchard Park is the home of Reed Field, a magnificent baseball and softball diamond that is used throughout the spring and summer by various softball organizations. Orchard Park provides a wide array of scenery through the natural beauty of trees and decorative landscaping. There is a beautiful 1-mile figure-8 asphalt path that winds its way through the center of this park, along with a regulation-size soccer field, two handball courts, a basketball court, a memorial stage for performing arts, playground equipment, and multiple pavilions that may be reserved for a small fee. Orchard Park also hosts the annual Freedom Festival, the annual Fireworks Display, and our community movies in the park."
