Parks and Recreation

Parks and Recreation

There are seven parks in McLeansboro totaling almost 100 acres. Not only is the “Parks and Plant” crew busy with keeping our great recreational areas open for all our citizens to enjoy, they are also responsible for generating emergency electricity in the event such a service is called for by the Southern Illinois Power Co-operative. The Plant houses four diesel turbines which are capable of providing the electrical needs of our community should it be required.
