    Great trail to get a bike ride or a run in...plenty of places around to get refreshments at after your bike ride or run.....highly recommend this trail.

    Bicentennial Park is a relatively big park in Joliet. It has some notable features to check out…read more Several bridges cross the Des Plaines River. Of course there's plenty of bad things about it. There's lots of homeless people and sketchy characters hanging around all times. It has a lot of history. Look around and there's historical information. There's some nice public artwork to check out. Drawbridges are one of the attractions. Either walking across these or watching them go up. Be sure to pay attention to signals before crossing so you won't get caught on one and fall in. Concerts and events also occur. A lot of fun activities in the summer especially. This is also fun just walking on the riverfront and hanging. Coming here would be much better without a few problems that are common. It often has homeless people sleeping and making a mess. They need to make more shelters.

    This place is my new escape... Better views than walking on the lakefront in Chicago in my opinion…read more Easy access from Jefferson / Route 52! It's free to park and there's even a makeshift outdoor theater that's reminiscent of the uphill at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater (or whatever they call it now) Its got a fountain, things go climb I suppose, plenty of walking, there's a park, open fields, great for picnics. There are some negatives to the place though. Some homeless and shady people do hang out here. There was a naked man drinking Busch and sleeping on the bench. It's not too great on the other side. This place really lacks maintenance and care!

    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.

    Trails have been repaved in the last several years they're all black topped. I've been away for…read moreseveral years so that's why I'm stating this. There's also some marked interior trails that are gravel or limestone that seem to go closer to the river. I do not travel those, I would imagine that would produce a lot more bugs. Apparently I have desirable blood, if you're a bug. So, Im not looking to get bit up by insects, so I stay on the main paths. Still have multiple shelters, and plenty of parking at each shelter, & there's grills, there's picnic tables. The dog park is still at Black Road, & and appears to be utilized regularly. Sometimes I'll walk all the way down from Black Road and the trail goes downhill as you get closer to 52/Jefferson and if you continue on it, the path goes underneath 52 and dumps out right behind the bar called Crowd Around Me. Multiple bathrooms along the way, there's semi kept up. I wouldn't say they're super clean but it's an outdoor bathroom. I'll give them this much credit, they are cleaned often enough that they aren't disgusting, and there's usually paper in there. Nice place to walk/bike/E bike/run. Or even gather some folks and have a picnic. Its usually pretty quiet in there. Little more crowded on the weekend, but that's understandable. Worth traveling through. And like I say a good place for exercise.

    Great place for you to bring dogs. Hammel Woods is one of the natural wonders around here. It has…read morelots of hiking and jogging trails. A lot of good ways to get some exercise. There's quite a lot of dog poop on the trails so watch. A lot of dog owners come here. It isn't strictly a dog park but it's very friendly for them. There's lots of features including drinking fountains and poop bags if there's any left, which often there aren't so it's advised to bring some bags with you. Also there's trash cans for these bags. The bad thing about this park is you need a permit. Grills are available for cooking. It also has a pavilion. The DuPage River is good for kayaking and wading.
