SOUTHWOOD PARK

The 23-acre park is located on South Nebraska Street and is the home facility for the Morton Junior Football League (J.F.L.). The park contains four football fields and a utility building that includes public restroom facilities and a concession stand. There is a 100-car parking lot at the J.F.L. fields. The lot is only open for athletic contest use. The fields and utility building were developed through funding and work undertaken by Morton J.F.L.. The result has been the creation of one of the finest youth football activities in the area.

The park also contains a playground that is currently being renovated with new equipment and should be ready for use in the summer of 1998. Two new tennis courts were finished in 1997 at the section of the park that is located at the corner of Idlewood & Minnesota Streets. The courts are available for public play on a first come-first served basis and tennis players are asked to park on Idlewood Street by the shelter and drinking fountain adjacent to the courts.
