Ben Allison Park, Elmhurst, IL

Ben Allison Park spans eight acres in central Elmhurst, offering residents a large playground with age-separated equipment, two full-size baseball diamonds, and four lighted tennis courts. A paved loop path circles the park perimeter, connecting to the Illinois Prairie Path and allowing direct pedestrian access to downtown Elmhurst’s shops and Metra station less than a half-mile away. Mature trees shade picnic shelters and an open lawn used for pickup soccer and seasonal events. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and ample parking are located on site. The park’s central location places it within walking distance of York High School athletic fields and multiple elementary schools, supporting both organized sports and informal outdoor activity throughout the year.
