SOUTH BELOIT, Illinois (February 2, 2026) – The City of South Beloit will move forward with a long-awaited neighborhood park at Nature at the Confluence after securing a $600,000 grant through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) Program. The funding will support the development of a park that expands public access to outdoor recreation near the Rock River, increases public accessibility to existing trails that wind along Kelly Creek
and Turtle Creek and strengthens connections within the neighborhood. “This project has been a priority for our community,” South Beloit Mayor Tom Fitzgerald said. “By
locating the park at Nature At The Confluence, we’re creating a welcoming gathering place that supports
recreation, education and the physical and mental well-being of our residents and visitors.”
