City Parks
Knapp Park is right on Central Ave coming through town, across from the centennial building and the Old Time Soda Fountain. Murals, trees, and flower beds maintained by the Allerton Garden Club, surround the gazebo in the center. There are several memorial benches located throughout as well. The park trees light up each evening with string lights- a peaceful walkthrough and quaint hangout. Named after Bill Knapp.
"The Slab" is a two-hoop basketball court with a small playground, picnic table, and benches for soaking up play and sunshine. Located behind the fire station.
Chautauqua Park has a small shelter house, swings, a slide and climbing bars, and plenty of open space for kids to run. Named after the historical Chautauqua event held in Allerton and throughout the country. Learn more about Chautauqua on the wayne county mural trail!
The Allerton Ballpark consists of 2 newly built baseball/softball fields, shelter house with picnic tables, and concession stand with restrooms located at the end of E. Elm St.
The ballfields were rebuilt after the tornado in March of 2022. The restructuring was a great display of resilience and community collaboration - several hours and donations were given to help with the project and we're thankful for all who were involved.
Bob White State Park is run by Wayne County Conservation. Camping, fishing, kayaking and 7 miles of walking trails surrounded by trees and wildlife await you!

The Soda Fountain has several tables and chairs as well as the stools along the ice cream bar and is an available space for the public to rent out for private events.
