_______
Mt Zion's Fletcher Park is a 24 acre park located on the south side of town next to the Mt. Zion Intermediate School. The park land was donated to the Village of Mt. Zion by Mt. Zion Township for the development of a large community park. It was developed and built by the Mt. Zion Public Works Department after the tireless fundraising efforts of Mr. David Wilhour and the Mervis Family. The park was dedicated on July 3rd, 2011. The Village of Mt. Zion would like to thank everyone who made a donation and helped Fletcher Park become the beautiful attraction that it is today.
The park consists of a 1/2 mile of sidewalks for walking, a 2 1/2 acre pond, a playground, tennis courts, a one room school house, an ampitheater, open pavilion, small pavilions, a recreation center, and our newest addition - the Splash Pad!
The pond is stocked and open for fishing. It is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources. A fishing license is required. For regulations, please visit our information page HERE. There is no swimming, boating, ice skating or ice fishing allowed.
