Great area! My experiences with Frontier Park have been for two different occasions:…read more 1) This was where I parked my car my sophomore year of high school (2004), because the school lot was reserved for upper class man. There's a convenient path to walk from the lot to the school. 2) I was here for the Naperville Winter Ale fest and they were able to partner with the school for parking which was great. The park area is a really good size with a decent parking lot as well. The ale fest took place in the parking lot and there was tons of room for over 200 vendors, tents, food trucks, a fire pit and more. Frontier is set back behind the school and businesses over on 95th & 59, which is great because there on convenient businesses near by, but not on top of the park. There are all the amenities a good park should have: - Playground - Basketball - Softball - Backstop - Bocce Ball - Multi Purpose Field - Trails - Picnic Shelter - Parking - Restrooms - Skate Park I highly suggest it!

That and the clarity can give you some really pretty views inside the lake. Not the best for fishing which is kinda a bummer. Roomer has it there's some good walleye here though.

They were on time but their manager/supervisor was bringing them a key. Unfortunately for us, their manager didn't arrive until 1:45 almost 2 hours after our scheduled appointment time. The 2 workers were very apologetic with us responding it's not their fault. We would like to say to the management, do better!! How dare you have people wait for your slow behinds!! it was extremely hot and very inconveniencing to your patrons. And to make matters worse we didn't even get offered a discount for our inconvenience!! If offered a discount it would have at Least showed you had some professionalism but alas you didn't. Had you shown just an ounce of professionalism I would have possibly considered giving you another try. I wouldn't recommend Whalon Lake Kayak rental to my dog. Sincerely, Very hot and disappointed patron

Very nice small playground for kids of all ages. One swingset with 2 traditional swing, one baby…read moreswing, and one swing with a safety harness. One playground set is for the older kids (4 slides, "zipline") and a smaller set is for the toddlers. Keep an eye on the little ones, because that big kid area is awfully appealing and it would be easy for a little kid to fall from higher heights. Lots of running around room and there are many benches for the adults to sit on. The "lake" is protected by a flimsy fence, probably to keep the kids from feeding the geese.

Decent walking distance and is perfect for a long walk with the dog. The path goes around the small lake and through some residential areas. The park itself has a covered picnic area, playground for kids ages 3-10, sand pit, and swings. There is a private parking lot right off McCoy and there are always plenty of spots. It is right next to the Fire Station so if your kids like seeing the trucks and engines this would be a bonus!

This is a very well-maintained forest preserve and Plainfield Park District cares a lot about maintaining the area. The ONLY downside is that I can't visit here from about June until early August because the mosquitos are plentiful, which is to be expected in a rather damp forest. I've seen owls, hawks, squirrels, chipmunks and deer here.

Walk towards the upper hill where you'll find a fun bridge to cross the water and climb stairs to the top. There's a great BBQ fun for the fam or hanging with friends. This park is also great for hiking. There's a great trail through the woods. Beautiful flowers with a large field and unique trees to walk or bike through. Overall, clean and fun park for a nature escape or game of disc golf. Last note, dogs are welcome as lone as they're on a leash. So great outdoor escape for all people and their furry friend!
