Historic Walton Park is on the southern edge of Litchfield. It was the site of the first 1905 Chautauqua which included speeches by William Jennings Bryan and Carrie Nation and other activities.  

Lake Litchfield, as it was first known, was filled in 1863 and is still considered a major reservoir by the Illinois Department of Conservation. 

Amenities for Your Visit

Picnic tables, playground areas, horseshoe pits, and a pavilion with a fireplace make this area a great place for a family gathering.  

Fun on the Lake

Only canoes, rowboats and boats with trolling motors are allowed on the lake.  Visit one of the county’s most beautiful sites and enjoy a relaxing day of fishing, picnicking and family fun.

Come Play Disc Golf

Litchfield has a beautiful 9-hole golf course located at Walton Park. The disc golf course holes vary in length between 150 and 300 feet with trees, shrubbery, water, and terrain changes that offer plenty of hazards to avoid.  

The object of the game is to throw a golf disc into each “pole hole” basket in the fewest number of throws. The player begins by driving from a designated tee area and continues toward the basket throwing each consecutive shot from the spot where the throw landed. A scoring “putt” sends the disc into the target.
