They have a couple of large parking lots there to stash your vehicle while visiting. One of the main entrances is right past one of the Tinley Park fire stations. Many paved trails to walk around the lake, with a high route and a low route to vary up the scenery. On the high elevation they have a number of picnic tables and the like for those that want to have a meal. They also have a large playground there for the kids to keep busy while the parents chill. The lower route is mainly for jogging and walking ... although you'll find a lot of bikes in the area also. At the other end you'll find baseball and soccer fields, skateboard, and basketball too. They also have a little dock off which you can fish. Be forewarned - no dogs allowed, which is good for some people and not so much for others. This is a sort of difficult kind of place to find, but that keeps it a treasure.

So peaceful. People…read morereally seem to be respectful and take care of the property for the most part. Trash usually isn't all over. I really enjoyed my evening out it was restful and gave me a sense of calm even though this is in the the middle of a really busy suburb. Didn't hear any cars, horns, sirens or anything like that. There was some noise from the ball fields but that was also far enough away that that wasn't crazy loud either. Check it out when you have a chance

I kid you not the life guard was watching him as well and all he did was jump in the deep end of the pool, he was coming up for air and they blew their whistle and jumped in to, again, "save" him when he didn't need saving at all. They put him in unwanted distress and embarrassed him, made him cry because he was coming up for air. Thankfully there were other lifeguards around who understood the situation and assured us nothing was wrong but what happened was just ridiculous.

I really like this park! More importantly, my kids seem to like it too. Fair number of swings,…read morevery low monkey bars for the little ones, a spring ride airplane looking thing (always a hit) and 3 or more slides. Nice long ramp that leads up to the slides plenty of room for the kids to run. A little bit of tree cover (shade can be an issue) but, not a ton. Really close to the street (not a very busy one) and the kids aren't exactly "corralled" in. Neither of these are enough of a concern to avoid it. Check it out.

This park has roughly 3 1/2 acres of land and includes facilities for children and adults. It includes a pavilion for cooking out, a basketball Court, room for practicing your golf swing, horseshoes, and a nice playground. This park has two sets of playground equipment for children ... one each for the different age groups. There are also fenced-in tennis courts for those that play that sport, and the courts have the added attraction of being lined out for pickleball games. This is a great park for all to use ... and it is close by in the neighborhood. Try it ...

This is but another in a number of hiking and walking trails/picnic centers in the Forest Preserve…read moreDistrict of Cook County system. Of all the things the Cook County Forest Preserve did over the years, preserving thousands of acres for the enjoyment of the people is probably the number one benefit. This is a delightful little trail head that leads to others. This one is called Catalina Grove and it is listed as a family picnic area. It also has a walking trail that hooks up to many others in the area. As part of a much larger system, if you begin here, you can walk or bike for miles...even over to the trails in Tinley Park and Chicago Heights. There is adequate parking here for your car. Since this is one in a number of starting points, this is really an out and back point in your walk/hike. Unless you have a bike and intend on going miles, this place is not a circular route that will bring you back to the start. Bring water and be prepared for a nifty jaunt through the south suburbs. Give this place a try and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
