Being the flagship park of the Ranson Parks and Recreation Commission, Lance-Slusher Park is a neighborhood park that features a tennis court, basketball court, pavilion, youth play structures and green space.  Lance-Slusher was operated by a dedicated and hard-working private non-profit organization for decades.

The park is named after the dedicated families who operated the park for so many years.  In 2006, the park was transferred to the city.  The city completely renovated the park adding all new equipment and facilities. The pavilion is available for group rentals and the Commission invites the public to enjoy Lance-Slusher Park.
