Room to Move Around
People weren’t meant to spend their entire lives cooped up. We crave fresh air, green spaces, and sunshine, a chance to bask in the warm embrace of the great outdoors. And, OK fine, a lack of sand and palm trees set us apart from that other, swampier Jacksonville, but here you’ll find the wide-open spaces of our city provide ample opportunity to enjoy the natural tranquility of Central Illinois. Take a break in our beautiful city parks. Launch a kayak in Lake Mauvaisterre and spend some quality time paddling across the calm waters. Enjoy in the thrill of the best bass fishing in the state at Lake Jacksonville.
