Worden Community Park is located at 419 East Kell Street, Worden, IL 62097. Worden is located 15 miles north of Edwardsville, Illinois. The park was made possible by a generous donation of land by the Worden Sportsman’s Club and substantial grants from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Madison County. The Village of Worden was also a recipient of a “Cardinals Care Grant”. Worden Community Park, almost 25 acres took nearly five years to complete. Hundreds of volunteers from Worden and neighboring communities donated countless hours to realize this ambitious project. The park features two ball diamonds, soccer field, walking trail, two playgrounds, basketball area, picnic pavilions, horseshoes court and more.
