Miller Park (Bloomington, Illinois)

It is in the southwest part of the city, on a large block south of Wood Street and east of Morris Avenue.

The park features a pavilion, an artificial lake, a zoo, softball fields, two war memorials, and a preserved steam locomotive, its tender (rail) and a caboose from the Nickel Plate Road which formerly served the area.

The park also includes a mini golf course, sand volleyball courts and a playground.

During the warm weather of summer an outdoor theater provides productions for local people.

In the middle of man-made Miller Park Lake, there stood a platform with the metal dome that once belonged to McLean County Courthouse,[1] on which they had a live monkey exhibit, designed by Grover Kathoffer.
