Army in Oswego, Illinois

Stonegate Park is a beautiful park located at 58 North Madison Street in Oswego, Illinois. This park is not only a peaceful green space for the community to enjoy, but it also serves as a conservation area for the local wildlife. In 1999, the Oswegoland Park District took steps to improve the habitat for fish in the area by removing a damaged dam and installing fish-friendly features such as riffles and fish lunkers. In 2010, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources collaborated to further enhance the fish passages along Waubonsie Creek and address erosion issues along the creek's shores. Visitors to Stonegate Park can enjoy the natural beauty of the area while also appreciating the efforts to protect and preserve the local ecosystem.
