Overview

Horner Park is one of the largest parks on the North Side and boasts nine softball fields, three senior baseball diamonds with night baseball on two diamonds, two football/soccer fields, four outdoor basketball standards, five tennis courts, a playground, a relaxing nature area and 13 picnic groves.


In 2013, a river shoreline restoration project began, restoring 11 acres of riverbank to a natural state. This work creates a new natural area to the park and improves the habitat quality of the park while providing new access to nature along the river.
