Benton Park was created by City Ordinance in 1866. One of the principal attractions is an artificial lake and rustic bridge. In recent years, the park has been completely remodeled and landscaped with the City's neighborhood rehabilitation funds, as part of the Cherokee Pilot Rehabilitation Area. Benton Park is home to a lake, a circular fountain, a Friedrich Hecker monument, tennis courts, a playground, and a pavilion.
