About O’Fallon Station

O’Fallon Parks & Recreation’s newest attraction, O’Fallon Station, was developed in the hopes of redefining the traditional idea of a park by becoming a place where families come to spend time together while supporting the community. 

Built along the historic railroad tracks in O’Fallon Illinois, O’Fallon Station is a symbolic presence of days gone by and an evergreen reminder of a community that continues to grow and thrive.

Farmers Market from the 2nd Saturday in May to the 3rd Saturday in October.
