Weekends Around Edwardsville - Leclaire Park

If you know me, or you've read my posts about Edwardsville, it's no secret that I am a big fan of the Leclaire Historical District in Edwardsville.

Leclaire tells a story, has great architecture, is great for people of all ages and it even has a baseball field. (Stick around for a future entry about Leclaire field).

One of the hidden gems in Edwardsville is Leclaire Park.  This park is about 6 acres and features a large fishing lake.  Bring a sack of bread to feed the abundant ducks and geese.  The little ones will enjoy three play areas.  You'll also find a great spot for a lakeside picnic in one of the covered areas.  At night, the park lights up with a beautiful lighted fountain.

The best thing about Leclaire Park?  You can own a home of your own within walking distance.  There are some wonderful homes currently on the market in Leclaire.  If you're ready to make one your own, I'd be happy to help.

Enjoy some photos taken this weekend of Leclaire Park.
