Brees Park occupies 28 acres along the North Branch of the Chicago River in Northbrook, providing residents with direct access to paved walking and biking paths that connect to the larger North Branch Trail system. The park features three baseball diamonds, two lighted tennis courts, a playground with modern equipment, and a large open field used for soccer and lacrosse. A 1.2-mile fitness loop circles the perimeter, while a boardwalk section overlooks the river and adjacent wetland habitat. Picnic shelters and restrooms are located near the main parking area off Pfingsten Road. The park sits less than one mile from downtown Northbrook’s Metra station and the Village Green shopping district, and it borders the 53-acre Techny Basin forest preserve, extending the available open space for residents seeking nearby outdoor recreation without leaving the village.
Brees Park currently has 10 single family homes for sale, 2 townhouses for sale, and 1 lot for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there are 3 new construction homes for sale.
