Oregon is blessed with one of the best park systems in Illinois! For a community of our size, our park system is expansive, with lots of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Its one of the things that make us ‘Uniquely Oregon!’
Our Mission
“To provide quality services through programs, parks and facilities to fulfill the needs of the community in a fun, safe and friendly environment.”
The Oregon Park District was established in 1967 “to efficiently, effectively and equitably provide the highest quality recreation programs, facilities and park resources in cooperation with all community resources to enhance the quality of life for the District residents and visitors”. Since then the District has acquired over 140 acres of park land at ten different park locations in the Oregon area. Outdoor facilities include several baseball/softball diamonds, playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, walking trails, sand volleyball courts, a concert area, two (2) horseshoe courts and river fishing areas. In addition, several picnic shelters are available for group rentals. The District also operates both the Nash Recreation Center and the Blackhawk Center.
