The Mt. Zion Lions Club was chartered May 19th 1959 with 34 members.  Today there is one charter member still living.  In 1992 the current Mt. Zion Lion’s Center was dedicated along with four baseball diamonds to support baseball in the community.

The Lion’s Center is one of the Premier Rental Facilities in Central Illinois for Weddings and Parties.  To rent the facility visit the Park Foundation page for instruction.
