Chillem Park, Oak Brook, IL

Chillem Park covers 15 acres of open space at the intersection of 31st Street and York Road, adjacent to the Oak Brook Public Library. A 0.8-mile paved loop trail circles the park’s central pond, which is stocked for catch-and-release fishing and edged by a small pier. The trail connects directly to the 22-mile Salt Creek Trail system, allowing residents to reach Brook Forest Elementary, Fullersburg Woods Nature Education Center, and the Oak Brook Golf Club without using major roads. Two lighted tennis courts, a playground with poured-in-place surfacing, and two reservable picnic shelters sit along the southern edge. Mature oak and maple stands provide shade over the lawn areas, while the park’s western boundary borders the 350-acre Oak Brook Sports Core, which includes baseball fields, an aquatic center, and indoor ice. The combination of direct trail access, on-site courts and shelters, and adjacency to schools and the library gives residents multiple daily-use options within a short walk or bike ride from surrounding neighborhoods.
