LEMONT RECREATION BOWL

LEMONT, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS

 

Located behind the Central School the original Lemont Township High School. It was once the site of a swimming pool in the 1920's and what may have been a toboggan slide. The remains of a band stand can still be seen. It probably has been used by Lemont town baseball teams since the 1920-1930's.
