Blackburn & 68th Park, Downers Grove, IL

Blackburn & 68th Park sits at the intersection of Blackburn Parkway and 68th Street, just west of the Village of Downers Grove’s downtown. The park features a paved, 1.2-mile loop that connects directly to the 9-mile Downers Grove Bikeway Trail, allowing residents to bike or walk to Belmont Prairie Nature Preserve or to the Metra station in under twenty minutes. A playground with composite safety surfacing, two reservable picnic shelters, and a lighted baseball diamond are maintained by the Downers Grove Park District. Mature oak and maple trees provide shade along the walking paths, while a small rain-garden at the southeast corner filters stormwater before it reaches St. Joseph Creek. The park is a two-block walk from the Downers Grove Public Library, a five-minute drive to Interstate 88, and within the boundaries of highly rated Downers Grove school districts.
