About West City Inclusive Park
West City, IL
Just off one of the Midwest’s most vital freight corridors and nestled along the southern edge of Rend Lake, the Village of West City is a small community with a strong connection to growth, commerce, and regional activity. Closely integrated with the neighboring City of Benton, West City serves as a hub for residents, visitors, and businesses throughout the area as they go about their daily activities. Recognizing the importance of creating spaces that are accessible and welcoming to people of all abilities, the West City Board of Trustees has approved plans to incorporate an inclusive playground as part of the new Community Center development.
Inclusive playgrounds provide tremendous value to communities, offering opportunities for children and families of all abilities to play, learn, and connect together. They often become destinations in their own right, attracting visitors and generating increased activity that benefits local businesses and the surrounding community. Combined with the other planned improvements to the West City community, the inclusive playground will help transform the site into a vibrant gathering place and a lasting community asset.
