The city boasts 13 parks, including the popular Lake Charleston and Fox Ridge State Park, and the Lincoln Prairie Grass Trail, a 12-mile path connecting to Mattoon. Lincoln Avenue features a mix of big-box stores and local eateries like Roc's Blackfront Tavern & Grill and Pagliai's Pizza. The downtown Courthouse Square hosts boutiques, shops, and a farmers market. Eastern Illinois University’s campus is a hub for community events, with venues like the Dounda Fine Arts Center and Tarble Arts Center.
