The 28-acre park is located on VFW Road, north of Jackson Street (Rt. 150). The park is the home facility for the Morton Youth Baseball Association (M.Y.B.A.). The association has provided the labor and funds to develop the 5 baseball fields located in the park. They are also responsible for construction of their maintenance garage and the batting cages that were installed in 1996. The baseball complex is the host sight for the State Junior High Boys Baseball Tournament in early September. The park is also home to the Park Districts Fastpitch softball field. 'Lions' field was developed through the cooperation of the Morton Lion's Club and volunteer community help. The baseball/softball complex includes a small playground, park shelter, and a utility building that contains public restrooms and a concession area.

The Morton Park District maintenance building is located in the park. There is a large wooded area that borders the west end of the park along the abandoned Norfolk & Southern railroad right of way. A section of this right of way has been acquired to develop a future link from the park to the Morton Community Bikeway along Jackson Street (Rt. 150).
