Carriage Green Park, Vernon Hills, IL

Carriage Green Park covers 39 acres in Vernon Hills and features a paved loop trail for walking, jogging, and cycling. The trail connects to the Des Plaines River Trail, giving residents direct access to a regional network that extends north and south through Lake County. Two baseball diamonds, two lighted tennis courts, and a playground with rubberized surfacing are clustered near the parking area, while the remaining open space is mowed turf and scattered mature trees that provide shade for picnics. A small fishing pond stocked by the park district attracts anglers targeting bluegill and bass. The park sits less than a quarter-mile from the Vernon Hills Metra station and is adjacent to the village’s aquatic center and sports complex, allowing residents to combine a park visit with swimming or indoor court sports on the same outing.
