Recreation
Cabery does have a park that has a lighted softball field, basketball courts, and a playground. The park is quite nice considering the size of the community. Many if not all of the lights for the softball field were donated from the old Comiskey Park.
There is also a very small pond called the Clay Hole which is quite dirty and unsuitable for swimming. However very small fish can be caught in the Clay Hole. Both bluegills and very small Largemouth bass can be caught there.
