We are VERY fortunate to have several nature areas within Town limits. #ExploreNormalParks

Fransen Nature Area is a hidden gem that provides visitors a spot to explore the beauty of nature! 🌳🌼🎣 This 5.5 acre naturalized prairie features wetlands, indigenous plants, flowers, and a pathway to a pond for fishing! #VisitBN #BNtheOutdoors

Accurate census data means more benefits for our local communities including schools, hospitals, roads, child care centers, senior centers and other services our families need. #mcleancountycounts #censusday

[Town of Normal @NormalILL]

Did you know that nearly 1 million kids under the age of 5 were not counted in the 2010 #Census? Everyone in the family needs to be counted on the census form, including newborn babies and young kids, not just adults.

Complete your census form now at https://t.co/hE2JmBDOLf.

Springtime is here! Please remember the State of IL has closed all playgrounds until April 30 due to COVID-19 safety concerns. Until then, please play in our open park spaces, walk, run, or bike on our trails - PLEASE practice social distancing to reduce everyone's exposure.

[Normal Parks and Rec @NormalILParks]

What does a shelter-in-place mean for Normal Parks? Trails and parks are still open, while playgrounds are CLOSED until further notice.

Please be conscientious of the minimum six-feet social distancing and use proper personal hygiene before and during use.

[Town of Normal @NormalILL]

The Governor just issued a shelter-in-place order for the State of Illinois. The order takes effect 3/21 at 5pm and remains in effect through 4/7.

Please note the municipal services will not be interrupted by this order. Curbside waste collection...
