Krape Park: 

Awarded “Outstanding Multi-Use Facility” award by Illinois Parks and Recreation Association.

Heavily wooded Krape Park features a picturesque 44′ waterfall that tumbles down from a high limestone bluff, an operating one-of-a-kind carousel, tennis courts, multi-use trails, sledding hills, cross country skiing trails, 18-hole disc golf course, a baseball diamond, tennis and pickleball courts, numerous picnic tables and a duck pond.

In the summer, people rent canoes and paddle boats and Krape Park’s Wing It! Mini Golf entertains people of all ages, as does the fishing pier on Yellow Creek. Children delight in Kids’ Kastle, a 10,000 square foot structure built by community volunteers and Little Kids’ Playground, designed for the youngest set.

The majestic Koenig Amphitheater is an outdoor band shell that earned the “Outstanding Facility Renovation” award in 2000 from the Illinois Parks and Recreation Association. Throughout the year people gather to enjoy band concerts Under the Stars, hear vocalists, attend church services or graduation ceremonies.

Krape Park earned the “Outstanding Multi-Use Facility” distinction because there is truly something for everyone to do. It is a regional gathering place for those wanting a unique recreation experience.
