About the Project
The 1st Street Courts is a transformative recreation area in Downtown Keosauqua. Located on the former Peacock Park Softball Field, this park breathes new life into the area by offering a dynamic, multi-sport recreational space designed to serve residents and attract visitors of all ages. The courts are free to use at any time by anyone, making it an accessible and welcoming place for all. This project isn’t just about courts—it’s about community.
