Location of park Y Bridge Blvd. & West end of bridge & E. 4th St., Galena
This small local park is a green space on the west end of the bridge and the bridge itself.
Just south on the same road is Outfitters Par. This is for RV parking, boat launching and canoe rentals..it is commercial.
The park I am pointing out is very small. Use satellite on the map and you will see the basketball court on the south border and the bridge entrance on the north border, the river to the est and Y Bridge Blvd on the west, that locks in this small park.
The larger roof is the restrooms, open when park is reserved or for events.
Two small plaques on monument stone:
