The largest and most ambitious
project of the Poplar Bluff Kiwanis Club is Kiwanis Bacon
Memorial Park. The property was a gift to the
Poplar Bluff Kiwanis Club in 1948 by the late Mrs. Carrie
Bacon Turner in honor of her husband, David Bacon, and her
son, Fay Bacon. Fay had been a charter member of the
club.
Kiwanis Bacon Memorial Park has many
features. There are several pieces of playground
equipment, a walking trail, basketball court, softball
field, and a recently added frisbee golf course. A large
field area is used for practices such as football and
soccer.
There are four large and four small
individual pavilions for use. Make reservations for the
large pavilions by calling 573-785-3338. The smaller
individual pavilions do not have to be reserved.
All-Inclusive Playground Equipment
Phase 1 was installed in
August, 2017. Fundraising is currently underway for
Phase 2. If you would like to participate in this
