Carroll F. Snyder Park, Highland Park, IL

Carroll F. Snyder Park spans 21 acres along the east bank of the Skokie River in Highland Park. The park features a paved multi-use trail that connects to the 20-mile North Shore Bike Path, allowing residents to reach Lake Forest, Glencoe, and downtown Highland Park without driving. Two lighted tennis courts, a baseball diamond with dugouts, and an 18-hole disc golf course occupy the northern section, while the southern half contains a playground with safety surfacing and two reservable picnic shelters with grills. Mature oak and hickory trees line the riverbank, creating continuous shade over the walking paths. The park is located one-quarter mile from the Metra Union Pacific North Line station and two blocks from the Highland Park Public Library and downtown business district, providing direct pedestrian access to daily errands and commuter service.
