Exchange and East Exchange Park

A refreshing place to relax in downtown Vermilion.  A fantastic view of the Vermilion River awaits you.

The beautifully landscaped Exchange and East Exchange Park has 1.6 acres that is located at the northeast corner of Liberty Avenue and Main Street in the shape of a triangle. It was here that the village founding fathers erected a small clapboard warehouse. One room was leased to area farmers and was used for selling or exchanging products.  

 

Visitors will find seasonal plantings, shade trees, sitting areas and swings for children.

A path wanders down to the river below, where the fish shanties once stood.

The park is home to a public comfort station housed in an historic building that once served as Vermilion's Police Department.
