Location: 401 E. 5th. St., O'Fallon, IL 62269

Website: https://www.ofallon.org/parks/pages/community-park

Playground Ground Cover: Poured rubber

Amenities: Pool, ball fields, running paths, tennis courts, basketball courts, and 4 pavilions.

This is a very large playground in a very large park, and the playground has a train theme! The city of O'Fallon completely renovated this park starting in 2023, with a new aquatic center, a new playground (dubbed the Playground of Champions), a new community center (Cavins Center), a new amphitheater, and a paved lighted multi-use path (.8 miles long). 













The amphitheater






The playground is enclosed with a fence, but there is no gate at the entrance.

There is an ADA swing, a baby swing, 2 sling swings, and a modified expression swing. 



There are so many fun elements to this all-abilities playground, including ramps, tunnels, interactive boards, musical instruments, bridges, a rock wall, slides, a swing for a wheelchair, tic-tac-toe boards, and more. 














This sensory tunnel is awesome!
