Local Parks

Argyle Lake State Park - Known as a fisherman’s delight, Argyle Lake State Park has a full complement of recreational opportunities. Just seven miles from Macomb, Argyle Lake also offers picnicking, camping, hiking and boating facilities in a scenic, natural setting. With its 93-acre lake for boating and fishing, five miles of rugged foot trails through picturesque forests and full-service campgrounds, this heavily wooded, 1,700-acre site is the ideal place to spend time in the great outdoors. Chandler Park - Established in 1893 through the generous donation of Macomb business leader C.V. Chandler, historic Chandler Park sits at the heart of Macomb, in the center of McDonough County. With its original brick sidewalks, iconic gazebo and century old trees, this scenic park is home to several historic monuments and host to many of the town’s festivals and events. Dudley Skate Park - Enjoy Dudley Street Skate Park! Featuring a “streetscape” design the site mimics the natural street terrain, with elements such as stairs, railings, benches, and a fun box (a table component in the middle) surrounded by ramps. The idea behind this design is to give the skate park an urban feel, offering a plaza style design that incorporates texture, color and the local architecture. Everly Park - With over 30 acres of naturally cultivating green space, Everly Park is a perfect opportunity to escape the hustle and grind of the day. Located in Everly Park are four shelter houses fully prepared to make any celebration or occasion a special day to remember. Throughout the park one can enjoy a variety of recreation and leisure opportunities, including three volleyball nets. Everly Park plays host to the back nine holes of the Everwood Disc Golf course Glenwood Park - Immersed within an Oak Hickory Forest,

with over 150 years of history in their roots, sits Glenwood Park. Among 22 acres of rolling hills and towering trees one can enjoy the escape found in engaging in the natural calm and wonder of the outdoors. Glenwood Park plays host to the opening nine holes of the Everwood Disc Golf course, a volleyball net, a playground, several picnic areas, and the Glenwood Stone Shelter. Horn Field Campus (HFC) - Located just one mile south of Macomb, HFC is part of Western Illinois University’s Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Administration (RPTA). The 92acre field campus includes woodlands, prairie and several miles of nature trails. HFC is available for campus and community use year-round upon request and reservation. Do you have a wedding, meeting, retreat or family gathering coming up? Whatever your event, the staff at Horn Field Campus can work with you to ensure your guests have a great time enjoying the natural beauty and quaint facilities of west central Illinois.
