"Review Date: June 10th, 2015 It’s not Walt Disney World but it’s a fine park for Central Illinois! Walt Bittner Park is named after a former Mayor of Bloomington who was an advocate for parks, recreations and zoos. It is fitting that a park dedicated to one who was himself dedicated to parks be one of the nicer parks out there. This park is situated in a subdivision. It has plenty of open spaces in which you can walk and enjoy the scenery. There is a smaller jungle gym playground area which kids can play. Next to that is a basketball court that is in the shape of a triangle. Not sure what to call that but it’s a unique layout. Off to the side, there is a gazebo in which you can use to host events. All in all, it was a nice park to visit and the kids that live in the area are lucky to have such a nice park within walking distance."

"Fantastic park. Just needs a fresh coat of paint. Short lovely trail, circling a lush field set up for baseball but perfect for soccer scrimmage as well. Picnic gazebo overlooking a HAGS brand playground for all ages. The playground is mostly wood with fun sturdy, plastic slides in great condition. There's a nice round basketball court, and during the summer a porta potty tucked behind some greenery. We absolutely love this park and highly recommend spending lots of quality time here. 👍"

"Always a good time. Depending on when you visit you may find the mulch needs to be raked back into place. Sometimes the ruts are too deep under the swings."
