Park installation in Farmer City is part of an effort being taken up by city leadership to make the community a popular destination for leisure. 

Manager Sue McLaughlin says there is a new park going up on the far southwest side of the community that will have a lot of great features for kids of all ages. 

McLaughlin explains the park was paid for with funds from a TIF fund and the City is looking to build around the quality park systems they have in the community by giving people a reason to come and spend time in Farmer City.

McLaughlin indicates the City Council is taking up improving the downtown portion of Farmer City and will be extending sidewalks that will connect people to different parts of the community. She encourages residents and folks around the area to follow them on Facebook.
