Editing Beecher, Illinois (section)

== Parks ==
Being a small community, Beecher does not have an official [[park district]]. Instead, the village's Public Works Department manages Beecher's park lands.

Beecher residents have ten parks within the village's borders to utilize. Via these parks, Beecher offers its citizens access to jogging paths, soccer fields, picnic areas, playgrounds, and baseball fields. Ten-acre Welton Stedt Park is the largest park in the village. Located adjacent to Beecher Junior High School, Welton Stedt Park boasts four ballfields, a pond, and portable toilets. Firemen's Park, situated in the heart of Beecher, has picnic pavilions, a snack shack, a stage, bathroom facilities, ballfields, walking paths, and a seasonal ice rink. Beecher's annual Fourth of July Festival has been held in Firemen's Park for decades.<ref>[https://villageofbeecher.org/residents/parks/] Beecher Parks</ref>

'''"Ribbon of Hope” Cancer Awareness Garden'''

The Ribbon of Hope Commission was established by the Beecher Village Board in 2013 with the goal of creating a small [[garden]] that would promote [[cancer]] awareness. A small plot of land in Fireman's Park was selected as the site of the garden, and on May 20, 2018, the garden's centerpiece, a metallic sculpture in the form of a [[ribbon]], was dedicated.<ref>[https://villageofbeecher.org/commissions/ribbon-of-hope-commission/] Ribbon of Hope Commission</ref>
