It was a pretty hot day, but one of the nicest things is that the park is primarily in the shade. There are two main playgrounds right next to each other. There is also a baseball field, soccer field, dog park, picnic table/pavilion area, and more! The entire park is really quite large. We were just at the two parks which were perfect for the kids (ages 1.5 and 4).

They have a few really nice large playground area as well for the kids to play and plenty of room in general for running around or setting up your own badminton, bags, Frisbee or other outdoor games. Some big trees to provide shade if preferred and restroom facility there as well. This park is actually part of a large complex with a variety of options/facilities: - 3 playgrounds (one is a "musical" playground) - 6 baseball/softball fields - basketball court - skate park - concession stand (I'm not sure on their hours, though) - Turtle Splash Water Park - Wiggly Field & SouthPaw Dog Parks - 25-acre Dyer Nature Sanctuary and trail -outdoor performance venue/bandshell -3 pavilions/shelters available for rental May - September

But with AD coming back so soon, it felt timely and relevant given this a park dedicated to Veterans. I actually came here because I was driving by last week and I spotted a little mouse run across the pavement as I was stopped at the light. I realized the chances of my seeing the little dude here again were slim to none, but I had some spare moments in my afternoon and plus this place had no business photos (which kills me) so I took the opportunity to take a look around. I've driven past here hundreds of time and I've never seen anyone in this park ever, which is strange because it's a really nice park. Large clock tower that dings on the hour, dedicated memorial bricks, the sturdiest benches I've ever sat/laid on, a small area on the North and West side that's grassy, there's flowers, and memorials, inspirational quotes, and small pillars with the seals of the different branches of military. Just a really nice quiet place. i spent some time by the Marine one and gave a nod for my Grandpa and then gave a nod to not only one of my favorite Yelper's Ted C, but also Buster Bluth for his many accolades including marksmanship and sand racing. I'm excited to have 'discovered' this little gem, although it's not very far off from a rather busy intersection, it's nice to know that most of the time, I can probably go and pretend it's my own private park, made just for me and that mouse... when I find him.

There are beautiful tallgrass prairies with lots of native blooms as well as wetland. Brewster Creek winds through the park. Popular spot with dog walkers and a few cyclists. Bathroom facilities are clean, there is a picnic pavilion and lots of free parking. There is hardly any shade so sunny, hot days go early or late. Kids will enjoy the Nature Center's collection of reptiles and many programs and events held there by Bartlett Park District. Meeting rooms and a small theater are available to rent for residents through the park district. Today we saw a group of Girl Scouts walking the trails. This park is a real asset to the community.

This little park seems to have it all. Many trees, making for a beautiful landscape in the fall…read more There are paved trails for walking, jogging or biking, maybe 1.5 miles in total perimeter. The trail surrounds and cuts through a playing field (soccer & baseball), a playground for young children, and a small pond for fishing. In addition to the several benches and picnic tables scattered throughout, there's a cute gazebo, and a pavilion that includes at least 20 more picnic tables for a large gathering (don't know if you need a permit). In the middle of the park is a building I have not visited yet, that I'm guessing has bathrooms and perhaps Roselle Park District offices? There are also porta-potties near the playing field. Just watch your step; there are a lot of geese and evidence suggests that are healthy and well-fed. Eek! P.S. I'm not exactly sure where, but I think within 3/4 of a mile is a skating park, also part of RPD.

This is the best disc golf course in The Kane. Hands down…read more My 6yr old son and I head over here all year round to play this course. The Wheeler disc course sculpts a greater park that also claims several walking/bike paths, a baseball field, soccer/hockey fields, picnic areas, a playground, a mini golf course and tennis courts. Some of the holes are too hard for him to come close to par, but others are a great fit for his current ability. The course has a great range in difficulty which spans from easy par 3's to challenging par 4's. Legging out the entire course is about a 2 mile venture. The backwoods holes are a real hoot. Can't tell you the number of times I've headed into the tree's or the ravine to find a disc that's hooked too far right or left. Throwing from the top of the hill on hole #11 is a person fav. Just don't be surprised if you have to perform the aforementioned trip on a stray disc. Other holes feature baskets on the other side of a cluster of tree's, some border natural grass/reed areas, while others have very lengthy fairways weaving lines of tree's. Amenities-wise there's a drinking fountain near the parking lot and bathrooms near the playground. If you need anything else, bring it. Most golfers here like to bring their own beverage of choice. Cheers!

Really wish there was some kind of shade or canopy over this park to make it more enjoyable. The highlight of this park is the zip line. Something that would really make this park more enjoyable would be to have a sprayground. There is plenty of room. This park has one picnic shelter near the playground. And a few picnic tables in the shade. There are 2 Porta potties near the parking lot. This park has a wife open field as well which would be great for sports practice.
