This is a small little park in Villa Park (next to Elmhurst).
On the south end, there is a small parking lot. You'll see a gazebo nearby with a picnic bench underneath. Just steps away there are restrooms and a water fountain attached to the building.
Just to the East, you'll be able to go along the Salt Creek trail that runs through other local towns. There are a couple benches along the path which makes this a nice little resting point for anyone enjoying the Salt Creek Trail.
On the North end of the park, you'll come across a small wooden bridge that allows you to easily cross over the creek.
Just beyond this bridge, you'll have the option to cross a very busy part of St. Charles road or go left at the split to the underpass. This will keep you on the Salt Creek Trail to the next park in Elmhurst called Pick Park.
During mid March of 2024, there was construction going on in the grassy area. It appears that they may be creating a path from the residential area to the Salt Creek Trail. I bet that'll be a nice feature for the local residents.
This is a pretty basic park, but I appreciate how it's one of many that connect along Salt Creek Trail. It makes it very nice to enjoy the outdoors in this area. read more
