Atwater Park is a 3.14 acre neighborhood park
located in the eastern portion of the Village at the
corner of Perry Street and Atwater Street. History
This Park is comprised of a total of 13 lots in Perry’s
Addition to the Village of Orion subdivision. These
lots were purchased by the Village in 1915 for less
than $55 dollars each. This area is primarily a single family residential neighborhood southeast of the
downtown. The park is named after the street that
runs along the south side of it. Facilities
This park generally is comprised of two distinct areas.
The larger portion of the park is devoted to two ball
fields. The two fields are situated in a square setting
with the two infields opposite each other. Several
bleachers and player benches are also found in this
area. The baseball fields are maintained in part by the ball leagues that schedule games and practices here.
The smaller section of the park, closest to Atwater
Street, contains a mix of playgrounds and other
recreation facilities. Specifically, two children’s
playgrounds are found here, in addition to benches, picnic tables, bike racks, swings, one basketball hoop, and one checkerboard table. An open space area is found along Atwater Street. Often, moms or dads sit and watch a child in the playground area while an older
sibling is playing in a ball game.
Parking space at Atwater Park is mostly along Perry
Street.
