Butterfield Park, Elmhurst, IL

Butterfield Park occupies 44 acres in south Elmhurst and serves as the neighborhood’s central outdoor space. A 1.2-mile paved loop circles the park’s perimeter, while a separate crushed-stone trail connects to the Illinois Prairie Path two blocks north. The park includes a regulation baseball field with bleachers and lights, six lighted tennis courts, two basketball courts, and a playground equipped with climbing structures and swings. A 12-acre retention basin on the eastern edge is ringed by native prairie plantings and provides habitat for waterfowl. Two picnic shelters and restrooms are located near the parking lot off Butterfield Road. The park sits within a half-mile of the Elmhurst Metra station and is bordered by grocery stores and restaurants along York Road, allowing residents to combine recreational visits with errands on foot or by bicycle.
