Pleasant Ridge Park
Located at 1345 Pleasant Ridge Road in Maryville
October, 2011 update: Phase one of the project is nearly complete and includes a pavilion, playground equipment, and an environmentally-friendly restroom facility. The restroom requires no outside utilities, which means a significant cost savings.
November, 2010 update: CARD recently received state approval of a phase two archeological excavation that was required as part of the park development grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The excavation found nothing historically significant. With the state's permission to move forward, CARD is working toward development of the project. Phase one will include site grading, utilities, roads, walking/biking paths, a pavilion, two restroom buildings, playground, volleyball and horseshoe courts, benches and signage. CARD has also begun work for phase two, which will connect the park to the MCT Schoolhouse Bike Trail.
The 50 acre property was purchased in 2007 for $1.3 million and includes the Park District's maintenance facility.

Woodland Park's Arthur Fletcher Field is home of Collinsville High School Kahoks Baseball. The park is home of three other ball fields: Jaycee Softball Field, Fletcher Jr. Field, and Tomahawk Field.
In the fall of 2003 "Woodland Chains" was created at the park. The 18 hole disc golf course was developed with the support of numerous private sponsors under the watchful eyes of volunteer developers Jeff Ligon and Robert Toebe. Similar to traditional golf, golfers throw a flying disc or frisbee into a basket striving to acquire the lowest score. The first tee is located near the restrooms next to the Lions pavilion. For a map of Woodland Chains click here.
Woodland Park also features five playground and pavilion sites: Jaycees, Optimist Club, Rotary Club, Lions Club, and Lakeside pavilions are available to rent. For pavilion rental information, click here.
Woodland's lake is home to numerous ducks, geese and fish.
The park is a busy place in the summer thanks to the International Horseradish Festival, help the first weekend in June each year. The event is free and open to the public.
