Small riverside town park offering tree-lined paths, open lawns and views toward the Illinois River — good for seasonal color, reflective water shots, and low-key civic/portrait scenes. Easy street parking on S McKinley St; park is public and accessible year-round. Best light at golden hour and blue hour; autumn and early spring add texture. Weekday mornings are quieter for long exposures and clean compositions.
