The original 40 acres of wooded river bluff property that was purchased in cooperation with local philanthropist Joe and sis Boyer, the Chillicothe Park District has committed to the restoration of Coal Hollow Park to pre-European settlement conditions. The goal is to provide a park with walking trails that will introduce people to the flora and fauna that once occupied the Illinois river bluff. For more information please view the Master Plan or for information on how your group can Volunteer, contact the Chillicothe Park District office see the “events” section of our Facebook Page. The neighboring 40 acres was purchased by the Chillicothe Park District in 2019 and additional trails are now open!
