Well this time we headed out specifically to explore this Island Park and thanks to other Yelpers with parking tips. There is a public lot at the corner of 38 & 25 just across from the bike shop and there is also another entrance and parking lot down 25 (the sign says Island Park & also the Water Reclamation facility). It's a nice long island in the Fox River with a little something for everyone. They have many picnic tables and a LOT of benches all along both sides next to the river. The paths are paved and easy to manage. There are restrooms & also a playground for the little ones. Plenty of trees for shady areas if you want to get out of the sun as well. And there is a pedestrian bridge that runs under the train bridge to cross over to the opposite side of the river and continue on the bike/walking Fox River Trail. A perfect little respite spot if you are shopping in the often hustle-bustle of downtown Geneva and need a break.

We were just at the two parks which were perfect for the kids (ages 1.5 and 4).

There were sculptures all along the walking path. This gave us something to look at and discuss as we walked. In addition to the walking path, there is a playground, tennis court, and skate park at this park. There is also a veteran's memorial at the center of the park. For a variety of things to do, I highly recommend Mount Saint Mary Park.

You can never be too careful. Although this park is located in what many people would consider to be the "middle of nowhere", it's really not to those that live on the west side of STC. The park is a wide open space, and is visible from both Crane and Bolcum. In addition to the peaceful atmosphere of the park, there is a good amount of parking, playgrounds, and some ball fields. It's a great place to do an outdoor workout or meditate, as when I frequent the park I'm usually the only person there so I don't have to worry about looking like a jackass doing exercises. I mean, the people from the street don't get that good of a view so I'm not worried about being busted out. As always, please clean up after yourself! There's occasional garbage or dog waste which is naaasty!!
