EDWARDSVILLE Plummer Family Park, parking solutions and TheCENTER are among Mayor Hal Patton’s 2021 predictions as he looks ahead to his final few months in office.
The park, which opened last summer, is the crown of the city’s park system and Patton said he expects it to develop even further once restrictions are lifted and people can get more use from the baseball/softball diamonds and soccer/lacrosse/football/rugby fields. The three traditional grass fields should be ready for play this fall alongside the three artificial turfs already down.

GLEN CARBON The village public services committee unanimously voted in favor of a $1 million intergovernmental agreement with the city of Edwardsville Monday for its proposed ice rink, track facility and teen center, TheCENTER.
Mayor Hal Patton and other city officials have been trying to engage the village in a partnership deal on this project for several months. Patton said at previous meetings that this project dates back to 2014. The two entities already partner on the pool at SIUE and this agreement would be another example of city-village collaboration.
