Located at 100 S Maple St in Normal, just off College Ave, Anderson Park and Aquatic Center occupies thirteen acres of land. Just a couple blocks East of Linden St, the park is not very far from Uptown Normal. There is plenty of parking with the three lots, one by the aquatic center off of Maple St and the other two by the park, which are off of College Ave. This is a great place to take the family, as there is truly something for everyone.

Anderson Park has a lot of space and uses it well. There are softball and baseball diamonds and three tennis courts that are all lighted. The park hosts a lot of Parks and Rec league games and youth football practices. There is also a hard surfaced basketball court and two nice playgrounds. Another nice thing about the park are the two large picnic shelters. This is a great place to have Birthday parties, family reunions or any group function.

The Aquatic Center has changing rooms and a concession. There is a large pool and two small water slides in another smaller pool. The Aquatic Center also has a large kiddie area. In the large pool, twice a day they also offer time for adult lap swim. Below is a link that list the Aquatic Centers season dates, hours, pricing and other general information.
