In 1964, plans were approved for Maplewood Park, a
10-acre facility off Linden and Jersey. The project cost between $70,000 and
$80,000 and took several years to complete. It included an outhouse building,
multi-purpose area for basketball, shuffleboard, ice-skating and volleyball. In
1982, the park was renamed Underwood Park in honor of Robert C. Underwood, a
former Illinois Supreme Court Justice and active member in the Normal
community. In 2007, the Town purchased another 6 acres and expanded Underwood,
connecting it to Constitution Trail.
We provide citizens and visitors with a clean, safe, well-managed, fiscally sound and environmentally pleasant community.
