Area Parks

Eberhardt Park is located on the southwest edge of Arthur.  This park was established in 1951 through a donation of 9 acres from the Eberhardt Family.  Pauline and her two daughters, Emma and Elsie, donated this ground on July 15, 1951 in memory of C. Fredrick Eberhardt.  This park includes 3 pavilions, playground areas, sand volleyball, and open spaces for miscellaneous activities.  Eberhardt Park becomes a winter wonderland at Christmas time, with all the lights and decorations.  This park is open year around and the hours of operation are 5:00 a.m. to dark.  Please contact Billie Bernius at the State Bank of Arthur 217-543-2114 ext. 105 for reserving the pavilions throughout the summer.  There is no fee for reserving a pavilion.
