As of November 2026
The system as it stands: more than sixty acres in the department's own count of six parks, four confirmed and two candidates. Scarbrough Park, forty acres at 71636 Walkerton Trail — the department's office, four diamonds for the WJL leagues, the splash pad, trails, pavilions, and volleyball — its tested point inside the town limits. Urey Park downtown, its naming record carried on the department's own page, the town Christmas tree's ground. Place Park behind Urey Middle School, attested since 1932, the system's oldest dated ground. The Soccer Plex at 308 Maine Street, three youth fields at the Emerald Street corner. Washington Park and Veterans Park at their printed strengths, candidates for the remaining two of the department's six. No pool; no town five-year master plan found; no county park inside the township; Place Trail Marsh on the township's north ground with its classification open; the Kankakee and Koontz Lake state ground at pointer across the county lines. The Parks Department runs the whole of it on the town's behalf — registration through its own portal, programs from baseball to sledding, more than 850 children registered in 2026 — under a Park Board whose existence is attested in 1984 and whose current membership no source reached publishes. That is the whole system the record supports, dated as stated.
