Great public facility, really worth taking friends to, children to, and just amazing!!
Still has the wasp nest in the bricks surrounding the tree that separates the two swing sets-- that has been a problem for more than 5 years! My daughter was stung and wasps dont want to let go. If you avoid that area, the tennis courts are fine. Nice play equipment for a variety of ages of children. Ample area to set up a blanket on the ground or eat at the picnic tables.
We brought our takeout food to eat in a pretty setting. The park house had nice clean facilities we used because it was a chilly day.
Great park! My kids always have so much fun here. There’s a skatepark, volleyball, swing, climbing towers, slides you name it. Entertains my 6, and 8 year old.
They have picnic tables. Skate Park. Fun for the kids.
Great park for kids of all ages. Fun choo choo train playset, low area with musical toys built in for little kids. Cool slides built in to hillsides. Two shaded pavilions and plenty of benches.
Great place to bring your family
Great place for a family picnic, nice playground for the kids, a closed in pavilion to set up food, and lots of space for yard games! They have many picnic tables and an abundance of trees for shade.
This is such a fun little park to bring the kiddos to. We were visiting from out of town and wanted the kids to run off some energy. This place was perfect. Great for all ages!
A wonderful park for the whole family with great biking and walking paths.
This place is my child hood park ever since I was kid I would always come here for a great time. Now that Im old enough Im looking forward to having kids of my own and taking them to the same place I had fun when I was kid. I never had any issues being here or will I ever.
Love bringing my son here at this Park. Its really nice, clean and enjoyable to see my little dude run around playing here. By far his favorite park.
This park has good number of slides and good condition for kids/toddlers to play.
This is such a great playground. I love how they have equipment for younger and older kids, and the absolute best part... Their super clean bathrooms. Makes potty training less stressful.
This park is awesome for my two year old. He loves the train, maze, and long tube slide. There is also washrooms nearby.
Nice park like almost all parks in Gurnee. No calisthenic equipment for teens or young adults. Really cool soft spongy ground in main childrens play area
Very nice park with all kinds of courts and fields plus skateboard ramps and kids play area. Just went to have lunch in the park
Very fun place to bring people too just hang out, plus restrooms during spring-fall
So much to do at this park I dont even know where to start. Soccer fields, baseball, tennis courts, skate park, and the playground for kids is just humungous!
In a quiet neighborhood and lots of kids are at the park for your kids to interact with. It has skateboard and bike/scooter ramps. It has tennis courts. The playground has different sections for different age groups.
Cute park for the little ones. Pretty clean and safe. My son loves coming here when were visiting the grandparents.

Nice park. I like parks that have a section for toddlers and also older kids. This park is one of them.
Clean and fun for everyone.
Just watch out for kids ridding their bikes a little boy for runover last year and he has to be taken to the hospital for stitches. Moms please remind your kids to be careful with bikes around the babies 😉
Wow this is a beautiful park, I really love it so did my husband and daughter:-) very nice and clean, I will keep coming here😊😊
Great park for all ages. Good spot for Pokémon and wizards.
Very well taken care of
When we went it was under massive construction so no slides were avalible although my son really wanted to play there we had to find another park
Love this park. Big open field, nice long walking path, great park equipment, basketball court, skatepark, tennis court, and baseball fields! How could you go wrong?
Great park. Tennis courts, soccer fields, baseball field, skatepark, and newly renovated playground make this an easy 5 star neighborhood park.

2022-03-04Such a nice place for the kiddos & adults. We played in the tennis courts with our badminton set and had a blast that the weather gave us a day outside. There are tons of amenities, and softball fields. Lots of space for kids or adults to do activities. And parking is plentiful.

Plus security surveillance..Handicap parkingThe park has its share of trees, gazebos, and welcoming breezes. So many people at this park are also very friendly.

2021-04-22Beautiful park with public restrooms and lots of good playground equipment. The restrooms are in a covered pavilion with big windows that the park service can open for you for breeze or covid safety. Two work events here recently, both went really well. Three tables in the pavilion, decorations can be taped. You could maybe move other tables in if you had several very strong people. Grills outside with more tables, including tables with a wheelchair accessible end.

2020-09-09This park is under normal covid free life is usually full of friends for your kiddos to play with. It is clean and in a nice neighborhood. It has shade and seating, I am pretty sure it has a bathroom but we havent had to use it. One bad thing was last week I went and we were literally trying to play but the bees were super aggressive and literally chasing us and some other families. All of us left but I am willing to bet that they have. Already addressed this issue. Definitely give it a try!
