The 2,000 plus acres of parks include standouts like Fairview Park, featuring the scenic Rose Garden, tennis courts, and connected trail systems. Families frequent the Scovill Zoo to see diverse wildlife and ride the Endangered Species Carousel, while the Children's Museum of Illinois engages young minds with interactive exhibits. The Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater hosts outdoor concerts throughout the year, complementing the cultural offerings at Millikin University's Kirkland Fine Arts Center and the historic Lincoln Square Theater.
