Bates Park, Woodstock, IL

Bates Park spans 38 acres in Woodstock, Illinois, with an established trail network that connects to the Old McHenry Trail and the nearby McHenry County Conservation District property. The park includes three baseball diamonds, a soccer field, and a playground with modern safety surfacing. A 1.2-mile paved loop encircles the open space, and a second, mulched path runs through the wooded edge where oak and hickory canopy provide shade. Picnic shelters equipped with grills and electric outlets are available by reservation, and a small fishing pond is stocked annually by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The park lies less than one mile from the Woodstock Square Historic District, the Metra Union Pacific Northwest Line station, and Route 14, allowing residents to reach shopping, dining, and commuter rail without crossing major roadways.
