Huckleberry Park — Attraction in Hannibal

Huckleberry Park in Hannibal offers many attractions and activities for both locals and visitors.

Special Need Accessible Play Area – The town has worked hard to have a place that is usable by all needs. The swing set has been modified to support adults and children who have mobility restrictions. They have harnesses and support to prevent injury while allowing fun. There’s a small walk around section to allow for small walks for learning children and developmentally disabled.

Tennis Courts – These are a total of 4 courts equipped with lighting. They are well maintained year round.

Pond – The water area is a favorite for locals as geese and ducks take up residency here during warmer months. These birds are accustomed to being fed by locals.

There is one laboratory a bit away there, for men and women but; sometimes it's dirty and it kind of stinks in there. Just within the community, there's just not enough things for kids. But, as a parent what are you going to do. Go to Quincy Illinois and spend my money over there because, that's; what I've been doing for...

I love this park and the way it integrates the athletic/activities facilities into and amongst its’ natural features.

The handicap parking spot at the pond was also much appreciated. As was the sidewalk running along one edge of that pond, from the parking spot, to and beyond the pier. That said, I left wishing it had continued on, either further into the park or at least...
