Big park with a lot of room to get out and hang. It has some nice views for those taking some time to enjoy it. Knoch Knolls Park is one of the many parks in Naperville. Getting here is harder because it's on a smaller street and easy to miss. There's a nature center so you can also get educated about the great outdoors. Get here and check out the many things to do. It has things for the whole family. The bicycle and walking paths give visitors some good views. It actually is a bigger park than it looks. There's some nice bridges that goes over the DuPage River. A lot of athletic facilities are here. There's baseball, basketball, and tennis. Also there's a disc golf course. The course is pretty challenging but fun. Have fun playing a few games or just come and check out the views from the bridges. It may be best known for the disc golf course but it has plenty more to offer. This is also popular for bicycling and the trails connect it to other parks. read more

Enjoyed the trails and that they are mostly shaded. Also that they are paved makes it easy when pushing a stroller or wheelchair. Nature Center was ok, however we do like Red Oak better because there is more to see there. The playground outside is a plus and great to get wiggles out before entering the nature center. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. read more

This is our favorite park! There is a nature center here, clean indoor restrooms (impressed with the cleanliness), rivers, a creek, a pond, couple spots for picnics, canoeing/kayaking, over 5 miles of trails, multiple fields and even nets for disc golf! The wooded areas make for a great place to set up a hammock and just bum out. The trails are great for biking and training. I ran a half marathon a few years ago and came here often. Some parts of the trail are shaded and mostly paved but some parts are unpaved which is nice. I remember when I was training I always wanted to switch up my routes and this park allowed me to do that. The paths are wide also which makes it easy to pass people going a slower pace. The paths are awesome to bike on too- smooth and even! Also, we actually took some of our wedding photos here a few years ago because of the beautiful scenery and we're so glad we did! The trail and bridges made for some amazing backdrops. It was very quiet and there are plenty of choices if there's a lot of people out. You also don't need a permit to take photos here. A couple other outdoor photo options we were weighing had a fee attached to taking wedding photos, not here! Parking isn't as big as you'd think. We've often had to circle a few times to find a spot on a nice weekend. Recommend visiting this park 100%! read more

When I saw that our fearless yelp community manager loved this park, it seemed like the obvious choice to go check out for a meetup with my friend and our kiddos! This park is popular and parking was pretty difficult. I just happened to luck out that a spot opened up as I was doing a circle of the lot. There's some street parking as well but that seemed to be all taken. I feel like I barely scratched the surface of this place but had a great time none the less! We stayed toward the front and walked around the paved trails around the park. There was ample shade and spaced out picnic tables making it easier to socially distance. There seemed to be lots of people on the premises to kayak, walk, run and bike. I would love to go further back to see the areas by the water next time. We got to see a small sliver of it this time and I would love to rent a kayak one day. It's a large and beautiful park. I will be back! read more

Great little park! My youngest loves climbing the rock wall to the slide and my oldest loves being spun in the Bond Villain style round chair. I like how there's a little something for younger kids too. The pond and trails nearby are beautiful. My kids even saw a turtle and a frog. The nature center is beautiful. We especially like the fish tank. There's also 2 small exhibits that show how the nature center uses recycled rain water and allow the kids to see and feel animal pelts. Clean bathrooms and great trails make this park perfect for a day out or a play date spot. read more

I had the best fall family day here 2 weekends ago. The grounds were beautiful - huge majestic trees, water, a more heavily wooded area, and an outdoor fireplace. I would love to know when they use the outdoor fireplace, can you just go there and start a fire? Doubt it. There were 2 cigarette butts in it, maybe it was a lame attempt to start a cozy fire versus my initial impression, which is THOSE DAMN KIDS! There's a bike path, which i hear is pretty decent. I hoofed it, so I really can't speak to it's awesomeness. The DuPage River runs through the park, which means there's some bridges you can walk over. And where there's bridges, there's opportunities to throw sticks into the water! We found also found a coconut in the river, which was very puzzling, but also a fantastical treasure. Seriously - a coconut in a river. In November. In Illinois. The highlight of the fall family fun day was of course, the monkey brain tree. If you don't know what a monkey brain fruit is, google it! It's a light green, softball sized fruit that has the same distinctive outer marbling as a brain. They are really fun to throw at the ground and smash. Or play monkey brain baseball. Wait...does that mean I'm a damn kid too? read more

Really cool disc golf course here. Full 18 hole slab, the fairways vary in length, a directional sign points you to the next hole and the course is kept up really well. The beginning of the course contours the DuPage River, which seemed to be calling for my sons disc. By the 5th hole the river had finally won. Luckily there was an abundancy of extra long branches in the area, one of which helped me with retrieval. No complaints here..just a great course. Cheers. read more

It is absolutely beautiful. I run there all the time and go for hikes. They have endless trails and amazing scenery. You can also find a lot of deer just strolling the paths. I recommend going before sunrise and during sunset, it is especially beautiful around these times. Hope you go and enjoy read more

Knock Knolls park has gotten a major face lift in the last couple years. I admittedly have not been to this park in a long time because the disc golf coarse was sub par and not well kept. Totally different story now. They expanded the coarse 9 more holes and they are all well maintained now. The only gripe I have that is keeping this from 5 stars is that all the holes are pretty short and unimaginative. Glad this park is finally getting the attention it deserves. On a side note there is a nice new bike path and a rec center I didnt venture into. read more

Today, Sun. April 26, we had a fishing theme birthday party for our 5 year old & 6 year old. Brooke was our party organizer & she did a great job. She was very personable with the children & adults, very accommodating & was extremely pleasant to work with. The Facility Manager (Angelique Harshman), however, was the absolute opposite & could take a few lessons from Brooke. Angelique approached me on 3 separate occasions, in a very harsh manner, about completely inconsequential issues. First we had "too many adults" in the room, so we reassembled in the common area inside. (Most of the kids were 4-6 years old, so there was some separation anxiety for the kids when the adults were forced to leave the room. Also, we had a total of 32 people in a room that accommodates up to 46.) Second, we were told we were obstructing the common area, so we were forced outside onto the deck. Lastly, we brought in sandwiches from Jimmy John's, which we were told we could do, & she ran over to let me know I used an unapproved vendor & that was unacceptable. We asked all of these questions prior to the day of our party & explained our situation to Peggy, and we were told there would be flexibility to accommodate the children. However, instead of trying to appease the group & make the party experience pleasant for the kids, we had a watchdog stalking out our party & making our experience completely miserable. This is a brand new facility & it is beautiful, the nature themed park is excellent and Brooke was a fantastic facilitator for our party, which is why it still gets 3 stars. That said, if you choose to do your child's part here, I would strongly encourage you to request that Angelique not be present. She really left a lasting impression with our kids & all attending parents, that will not soon be forgotten. Personally, I could find a better use for $300. read more

A beautiful sanctuary, filled with towering oaks and unique shrubbery. a wonderful frisbee golf park allows all of those aspiring frolfers to have a convenient sanctuary. The forest is a pretty good place to walk and eno, but the damn skeeters intrude upon your pale skin! the greenery, the trails, the dirt, the rocks, the water- aspects that make this park a forest. A visit to this park will be like lowkey cool ig just mabye if you like trees and shit like that. read more

I was going to give this place 3 stars, but bumped it up since it IS pretty decent for being in the "black heart" of suburbia. When you consider KK along with the adjacent Dupage River Park, there's a lot there. Baseball/softball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, hockey rinks, "mountain" bikeable singletrack, hiking on single/doubletrack, a surprising amount of wildlife, fishing, BBQing, disc golf, soccer, etc. I'm mostly at this park to bike. It's got a limited amount of singletrack but does well with the acreage it has. The big downside to this is the frequent rains in the spring and lots of tree cover equal long dry-out times for the singletrack. And if you're respecting the trails and trying to "leave no trace", the trails literally don't dry out until mid-May or early June. Anyhow, there's plenty of other things to do, and you could do a lot worse than to simply hike the larger double track loop and get a couple miles in on a nice day. read more

This is a challenging 9 hole course that plays heavily with the wind. The park plays nicer for those that tee nicely and can also recover when the wind hits. Built around a hill, you will traverse the hill a handful of times, so bring your disc shoes. Also bring a rag to wipe your discs off since the drainage ain't the best, especially on 3. Favorite hole is 8. Teeing off blind, you go off what you saw when teeing on 7 in relations to distance past the treeline. You will come across chads and manely bros that can ruin your fun with their Busch Light and their tendency to rush through. Disc etiquette is something these Napervillans don't get. Typical finish time is around twenty minutes. Replay: Medium read more

Had our engagement photos taken here by the suggestion of our photographers! I loved it because there were so many diverse places for photo ops! Our photos turned out so nice. I've been meaning to go back for a hike or bike ride because there were a ton of people enjoying the outdoors here. They also had a sled dog team practicing (in the fall) which was fun to see. There is a disc golf course as well which I want to try out. This is a great outdoor-day with a lot of different things to do. read more

We love this place! So many beautiful trails and scenery! So much nature to explore with kiddos. Great place!

Great local preserve for the whole family. Hiking and bike trails, historic spots, large field for kite flying or kicking a ball around, disc golf area, kids playground, nature center, canoe launch to the river, and clean restrooms. We always have a great time here! read more

My least favoret course in Du Page Co. I will not play this coursre ever again. Very boaring holes, and super lame people mix to make this a bad time! People at this course don't use golfing rules like not playing when someone has not finished their hole. Also a lot of beginers slows play, and they don't let ya play through! I should not be surprised that this course is in Naperville or by the duppies that infest it. Save your time and go play Oak Brook or St. Charles instead. read more

Fantastic park. Love it here and they have very clean bathroom. Lots of trails and cute playground.

Another hidden gem right by my house. I've lived here for years and cannot believe I didn't see this place sooner. I went for an early morning yoga in the park class, then walked along a trail over a beautiful bridge looking out on the dupage river. There is a small building that greets you as you enter in, the nature conservatory with butterfly garden and other creatures. (I heard they offer a preschool as well). If you go down the opposite park, you'll see a tree farm and fresh organic fruit and veggie farm. read more

Love the new park design. Some wooded holes, some long holes and some tight shots. Good variety of shots

Great paved biking trail. Round trip from downtown Naperville is about 15 miles. Nicely maintained and everyone we encountered on the trail was courteous. read more

Terrific place to bike in wooded terrain, let your dog run free, and especially nice for cross-country skiing in the winter.

Not pleased that the groomed trails are being largely replaced by paved bike paths. Nonetheless, this is still a great park. Great mountain biking for the area. If you're a runner, watch your step on some of the dirt trails. read more
