    We have one public park on the north side of Walnut, with a shelter, picnic and playground areas, and a splash pad; there are also three (3) baseball/softball diamonds. Located on the south side of Walnut is another shelter and a 1/2 mile walking path around our Wetlands Project area.

    Walnut has several dining choices including Glenn's Food & Pub and B&L Diner.  

    We are host to five (5) churches, Calvary Baptist Church, First Presbyterian Church, Our Savior Lutheran Church, Peace United Church of Christ and St. Patrick's Catholic Church. We also have multiple antique shops in our downtown area, which is showcased by our original brick streets.
