I've gone to this forest preserve since I started living in Chicago. It used to be fairly quiet,…read morean occasional bike rider here and there, but mostly empty, and the trails had funky color coded trails that we seriously got lost on the first time I went here. I used to be able to allow my dog to walk off leash (she's very well behaved) ...but alas, this is not true anymore. We hadn't been in about a year, and went back to get some fresh air, and it was disappointing. They had an animal control unit present so we couldn't let our dog off leash, which is really the primary reason we would go out there...so she can be independent and have fun exploring. We felt we were being watched like hawks, so its no longer peaceful, but has fallen under big brother's ever watchful gaze. Time to find a new place to walk.

I did the vast majority of my marathon training on this trail system, and my boyfriend and I bike…read morethese trails about once a week. This is a great trail system in the south burbs if you're looking for a paved trail for running or biking. The trail system is well maintained. The scenery is lovely, and the trails are generally pretty empty too which I particularly enjoy when I just want to zone out during a long run.

Dog owners - look there is another dog park near the Plank Trail…read more This one is run by the Frankfort Square Park District. Once you pay a nominal fee you will get a key fob which will open the gate for you. There are two areas, one for smaller dogs and one for bigger dogs. Another terrific facility for DOGS. Unlike the Plank Trail which is for PEOPLE who run, walk, bike and skate and like to do it where your dog does not take a crap. Dog owners - take your dog to a dog park, not on the Plank Trail. Win/win or woof/woof.

Don't bother. They try to charge you $60. Not worth it. Dog parks are supposed to be free!!!read more

I've been heading to Dellwood for close to 6 years now, and I always look forward to digging…read morethrough the crazy big disc selection and seeing everyone working that day. I still bag molds that Sean (the owner) recommended back when I showed up to the shop for my first time back when I was learning. Early on I used to order discs online, but stopped years ago because being able to pick out a stamp and weight you like is a much better experience overall. It's also nice to support a local business. The shop also puts on a ton of really awesome events throughout the year that bring out a great community. If you get a chance, I highly recommend showing up to at least one of them. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to be able to regularly hit the shop and get a round in at The Canyons. Forever my favorite shop, and I'll forever plaster by bag and truck with stickers and patches.

A pretty big park is in Lockport and has lots of room for various activities and fun. Dellwood Park…read morehas athletic fields for baseball and more. It also has areas for recreation. Has a disc golf course. There's fun here for any season. First looking at this park it doesn't seem as big. It actually is pretty deceiving as it goes back a long ways from the road. The entrance road twists around various athletic fields and parking lots taking you through. Best thing here apparently is the disc golf. It's often the reason people come here. The Canyons is what it's called, and people are always here tossing frisbees and having a good time. It seems difficult. This isn't for beginner or casual players. A lot of opportunities to have fun. It's best known for disc golf. There's facilities for other types of sports too.

It was called the Lanigan…read morepicnic where my father & uncle grew up being good friends with the Lanigans & others in the Englewood area in the 1930's & 1940's.

I chose this location for a hike based on reviews I read on All Trails. There are bridges and…read morepathways that are pathed, but it's otherwise, pretty rustic. There are signs that point you in the direction of the Nature Center. That was very helpful in making sure we were staying on track. The parking lot is tiny, maybe about 20 spaces. When I pulled in, I was the only one there, and there were cones in most of the spots. Unfortunately, I encountered a Karen who wanted to know why I was there, how long I was going to be there, and tried to dictate to me how long I could park there because she was having a group of people meeting her and wanted the spaces. So, if you go here, beware of the Karen's that are loose! Lol! Other than that, I would absolutely suggest it for hiking.

Was excited to try this nature center but dogs aren't allowed, the trails and unmanageable and…read moresteep, and make sure you use the bathroom before you come because there's no inside bathrooms only a small gross port-a-potty outside.

Definitely enjoy coming to this park, especially on a warm summer day. It's got a nice long path…read morefor dog walking, bike riding,etc. Features a basketball court and a tennis court right next to it as well as a soccer field on the opposite side with a grandstand. It has bathrooms that i've never seen been opened in my life so there's probably a port-o-potty that's probably already tipped over. There's a giant sheltered gazebo that can seat up to 100 people. The park playground is fairly huge and features a variety of things to do as well as stuff to do around the walkway.
