Arboretum Woods Park, Lisle, IL

Arboretum Woods Park in Lisle spans 80 acres of mixed hardwood forest and open meadows, offering residents direct access to over three miles of crushed-limestone trails. The trail system connects to the larger DuPage County trail network, allowing cyclists and runners to travel east to Morton Arboretum or west toward downtown Lisle without leaving paved or improved paths. Two reservable picnic shelters sit near the south entrance, each equipped with grills and adjacent parking. A lighted sled hill on the park’s east side provides winter recreation, while three fishing ponds stocked annually by the Forest Preserve District draw anglers year-round. Restrooms and drinking fountains are located at both the main parking lot and the midpoint shelter. The park lies within a half-mile of the Metra BNSF station and within walking distance of elementary and middle schools, reducing daily car trips for commuting parents. Mature tree canopy and wetland boardwalks supply consistent shade and wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly for birders tracking seasonal warbler migrations.
