Bataan Park covers 13.5 acres in central Maywood and features a playground, basketball and tennis courts, and a large open field used for youth soccer and baseball. A paved walking path loops the perimeter, and shade trees line the edges of the park, providing cover for picnics at the fixed tables and grills. The park sits within two blocks of the Maywood Public Library and the Proviso East High School athletic fields, and it is two blocks from the Eisenhower Expressway on-ramp at 1st Avenue, giving residents quick access to downtown Chicago or O’Hare. On-street parking surrounds the park, and nearby sidewalks connect directly to the Illinois Prairie Path’s eastern leg, allowing longer walks or bike rides without crossing major roads.
