    So Tinley park has this massive storm water reservoir with a lake at the center that they turned…read moreinto a community park. They have a couple of large parking lots there to stash your vehicle while visiting. One of the main entrances is right past one of the Tinley Park fire stations. Many paved trails to walk around the lake, with a high route and a low route to vary up the scenery. On the high elevation they have a number of picnic tables and the like for those that want to have a meal. They also have a large playground there for the kids to keep busy while the parents chill. The lower route is mainly for jogging and walking ... although you'll find a lot of bikes in the area also. At the other end you'll find baseball and soccer fields, skateboard, and basketball too. They also have a little dock off which you can fish. Be forewarned - no dogs allowed, which is good for some people and not so much for others. This is a sort of difficult kind of place to find, but that keeps it a treasure.

    So peaceful. People…read morereally seem to be respectful and take care of the property for the most part. Trash usually isn't all over. I really enjoyed my evening out it was restful and gave me a sense of calm even though this is in the the middle of a really busy suburb. Didn't hear any cars, horns, sirens or anything like that. There was some noise from the ball fields but that was also far enough away that that wasn't crazy loud either. Check it out when you have a chance

    Great little park just off Haven Avenue and 167th Street in Orland Hills. This is a pretty…read moreextensive park with a winding walking track that spans two sides of the street, a number of baseball fields, a football area with goal posts, a playground for kids with all the usual slides and Jungle Jims, a large wetlands/lake area around which the track winds behind neighbors backyards, and a large recreation center under roof ... with another even bigger one going up next to it. This review is mainly for the walking track areas. One walking area is around the large wetland lake that goes up to 167th Street ... and if you follow it, you'll circle the lake going behind a number of homes that line the wetlands. Offshoots of that circle track take one on a number of paved paths behind other homes and to other entrance/exits to the walking tracks. One of the paths takes you across Haven Avenue onto another walking track unlike the first. This other track is mostly a boardwalk circling another wetlands behind peoples homes. But the boardwalk also spends a lot of walking time vaulting over water, so the walker gets to see a lot of nature on the path. This is really the special part of the walking areas as it is not like anything you'll find around these areas. If you walk it at night or during Halloween you'll get the creeps for sure. Neat area. All in all Kelly Park is really a gem out here in Orland Hills. If you have the chance, do go visit. They even have street parking or a lot for your car while you visit.
