Washburn Parks


Our Parks

Grant Park has long been one of Washburn's outstanding resources, adding quality to the lives of young as well as older citizens.  It offers a double tennis court, baseball diamond, four pavillions for gatherings, three on the south and west sides of Snag Creek which flows through the well kept grounds.  There is an ongoing maintenance and replacement of playground equipment, and activity areas. The park was donated by the Ireland Family in memory of their son, Grant.

Half Moon Prairie Park is a more recent addition to the village, offering two baseball diamonds as well as playground equipment and an exercise trail.
