Parking can be a hit or miss and there's plenty of construction happening. Great area dedicated to our veterans on the north side of the park. I say the con of the park is the port o potty. You need a flash light to get in there and it's not clean at all so be forewarned.

This park is gorgeously maintained and has quaint little gardens that brighten up the place when you see butterflies flying about. The kid's park looks perfect for about ages 4-10. Has swings (sorry I didn't notice if they had handicap accessible swings), sand pit, water mister, climbing areas and slides galore. You are come right up the Fox River and there is a rocky area where kayaks were constantly coming and going. I brought the kids over there to find seashells and skip rocks. There were a lot of people walking their dogs - some dogs were going for a swim! There are a lot of mature trees so there is plenty of shade. I will try to come to this park more often!

The splash pad is perfect for little kids who tend to run and take off because the splash pad is completely fenced in. There are also separate bathroom facilities just for the splash pad. The only bummer is that the splash pad is on concrete and doesn't have the rubber.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE…read more Raising children is hard, but Wolf's Crossing Community Park makes life a bit easier. Located on the Naperville / Oswego border where 95th St dead-ends into Wolf's Crossing Rd, this public park incorporates 33 acres of carefully planned and meticulously maintained space. It's the perfect answer when asked by your kid for the umpteenth time "wHaT aRe wE dOoOiNg ToDaY?" This complex features a playground, splash pad, covered pavilion, basketball courts, sand volleyball, tennis/pickleball courts, a lookout point with sledding hill and a ninja warrior obstacle course. It connects to various biking trails and there's onsite public bathrooms with plenty of parking. The ~100ft zipline is a standout feature and draws a considerable line on busier days. Watching kids nearly get yeeted off into the bushes makes for great theater! I assume the weight limit is 200lbs so next time I'ma have a go at it (get outta my way, kids!) The only thing missing is concessions, as the lone pop machine near the restrooms didn't appear to work. I think there's enough people here on a routine basis to warrant building a snack shop! I'd love to serve nachos and root beer to hungry peeps, as long as I got paid $25/hr. * TL;DR * This idyllic, multi-faceted rec area is fully deserving of its perfect rating. Wolf's Crossing Community Park was built with young children and special accommodations in mind, easily accessible to all ages & abilities. The fam spent several hours here (granted, most of them were confined to the splash pad) and we barely scratched the surface. I can't wait to beast through that legit obstacle course some day when I remember to wear close-toed shoes. Ain't no way my clumsy ass is making it through there in flip flops. WCCP has tons of what we in the gaming realm refer to as "replayability", essentially, is there enough stuff to do on repeat visits? You bet there is! See for yourself, check them out before summer's gone!

They were there but I wasn't hungry and to busy having fun. I do know that the food booths were other business around the different areas. Have fun.

I actually still remember coming to this playground several times when I was a kid, and we would…read morealways go to Banana Split at some point during our time at the park. Earlier this year I had decided to bring my nephew to the playground here to play for a little while before celebrating the reopening of Banana Split for the season. Clearly the place has changed since I was a kid, with the playground being fairly new, but it stil-- in many ways--remains the same; it's small, very much a neighborhood type of park, not a city-wide mecca like Phillips Park, and very basic, with only a small playground, a few courts for basketball and tennis, and a nice expanse of open green lawn for running around or sitting in the sun. Again, it's not really like Phillips Park, which attracts people from all around Aurora and has a large property with many features, and is even smaller than the little play areas around Waubonsie Lake; and unlike Waubonsie Lake, there isn't a path for running, jogging, walking, or riding. However, it is perfect for someone who is near to it and is looking for a small, safe area for a little one to play in. I've been here four or five times this year since the spring with my nephew(s), and it's actually become one of my favorite little spots to take my nephew, fulfilling EXACTLY what I'm looking for. A small park with a small playground where my nephew has plenty of space to play and I only have a small area that I need to monitor. Parking is pretty easy, if not a little confusing at first; if you're coming off of Sheffer Road then turn left onto Sheridan and you'll find the little access road to the parking; if you're coming from Church Street then merge onto Sheridan, and if you're coming from Forest Street then it'll be right in front of you when you get to Sheridan. I can also say that the property is well maintained and very out-in-the-open so it feels very open and safe. I also have to say that having Banana Split right across the street is a pretty great selling point and makes the park more attractive. So if you're close by and need a great place for your little ones to run around and play, give this place a try, you may be pleasantly surprised by how much you like it; and if you don't enjoy your experience, you'll at least be able to salvage what's left of your excursion with a nice cold treat from across the street.

Phillips Park is quite a large space of green with something going on all year. Has things for both adults and children. There's a golf course and a zoo that are both popular. Big park with a lot going on and plenty of people being active or just sitting around hanging. It's for sure one of the places around here that's popular for when going outdoors. The golf course is where most of the adults go to when it gets warmer. For a public course it's pretty well maintained. This is a full 18 holes and includes a bar and grill to go to after playing. Also in summer it's fun to go to the Family Aquatic Center. This is a water park with a big pool and sprays. It's not a massive one but it's big enough. The best thing here though is the Zoo. It's free. You heard right. It's not a big one, but there's still plenty of animals. Most of these are native ones like birds, farm animals, and reptiles. Good for children. The park is also decorated with lights for holidays. Great big park with a lot to offer anyone. It's located on the south side of the city close to Montgomery. There's lots of things but the best one is the Zoo.

After heavy rains, the trails can get a bit flooded, otherwise it's a fun place to walk around and enjoy nature. It's important to note that the trails are each around 1 to 1.5 miles, with some that run around Lake Patterson, so plan accordingly and bring enough sunscreen and water. This lake is also one that has motorboat access with a ramp, which is not common for the area. When the trees are filled with leaves, it's quite pleasant to sit around and enjoy nature with some shade as well.

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.
